Tilak Kumar
Meet The Founder
Meet Tilak Kumar — Founder of AUMIKA®.
Arun Gems International · 2009AUMIKA® was founded by Tilak Kumar, a GIA® Graduate Gemologist and US Navy combat veteran whose journey into gemstones began long before the brand itself. Coming from a traditional goldsmith family in Bharat, and trained in Surat — the diamond capital of the world — Tilak brings over two decades of diamond and gemstone experience to every AUMIKA® piece.
In 2009, Tilak founded Arun Gems International (AGI), sourcing rare diamonds and gemstones across more than forty countries. AUMIKA® is the fine-jewelry house built on that lifetime of sourcing — begin with the right stone, then quietly craft the piece around it. Each one created once, and never repeated.
A stone is not a product. It is a once-occurring geological event. The piece we build around it should be equally singular.
Are you a service member or veteran? Tilak is too — Explore Your Veteran Jeweler →
The AUMIKA® System
Five deliberate stages, by design.
We plan for the next thirty years of your piece—from the sourcing trip to the future trade-up evaluation.
- i.Source
Tilak personally inspects center stones across Antwerp, Mumbai, Bangkok, and Jaipur. No catalogues, only direct selection.
4–24 Weeks - ii.Design
Custom CAD and physical wax models are structured around your selected stone. Unlimited revisions at the NYC bench.
2–8 Weeks - iii.Finance
Flexible structured plans. 0% APR terms via Affirm, Klarna, or a tailored installment cycle matching the build timeline.
Tailored Terms - iv.Insure
Built-in worldwide coverage via Zillion. Protection against theft, loss, or damage with immediate checkout enrollment.
Instant Quote - v.Resale
Your natural stone's documentation holds value. Independent appraisals and trade-up cycles are pre-planned.
Lifetime Guarantee
The Distinctions
Atelier curation vs. mass inventory.
Standard retailers start with inventory. AUMIKA® starts with the person, then sources and builds around a stone selected for that exact moment.
Standard Retailers
AUMIKA® Atelier
Sourcing
Inventory feeds, stock certificates, and pre-set options often chosen before anyone understands the wearer.
Founder-led shortlists from direct sourcing relationships, evaluated for optical life, proportions, origin, documentation, and long-term suitability.
Design
The ring is adapted to the available setting, with speed and repeatability driving the experience.
The setting is built around the selected stone and the person who will wear it. The goal is singularity, not volume.
Documentation
Generic receipts, generic certificates, and unclear resale or insurance support after purchase.
GIA® documentation where applicable, founder review, appraisal-ready records, insurance guidance, and future trade-up conversations.
The Atelier
Commissioned.
Sourced.
Made for one.
Every commission begins with a private thirty-minute conversation — never a brief, never a form. It becomes a stone sourced from a name you may recognise, a setting drawn at the bench in New York's Diamond District, and a piece signed off personally by Tilak. Discretion at every stage. Documented for the lifetime of the wearer, and the one after. Learn more about our sourcing and commissioning processes.

Resale Value
Held in nature.
A 100% natural diamond or gemstone carries intrinsic value because supply is finite and certification is portable. AUMIKA® documents the provenance of every centre stone so an independent appraiser, insurer, or future buyer can verify what you own — no proprietary lock-in, no synthetic substitutions, no surprises.
Our Certificates of Authenticity are issued by a GIA® Graduate Gemologist and appraisal documentation prepared for insurance and tax conversations — accepted by major insurance companies for coverage and claims.
- Independent appraisal accepted by major insurers
- GIA® / IGI / HRD reports retain value across borders
- Trade-up conversations available — speak with AUMIKA® for current terms
- Natural, never synthetic — verified at sourcing and at the bench
