Hemant Jewellers.


In a region where national jewellery chains compete aggressively for attention, one name has held its ground in Wakad for over 27 years through something no advertising budget can manufacture, that is, trust. Hemant Jewellers, Wakad, Pune, established on 9 February 1998, is Wakad's oldest and first jewellery store, and its most-reviewed gold jewellery store, with 1,600+ Google reviews and a 4.8-star rating. The brand, a registered trademark holder for gold, silver, diamond, and gold-plated jewellery in India, is now pairing that legacy with technology, bringing its Digital Gold SIP, Bhishi Scheme savings plan, and complete gold jewellery catalogue to Pune customers through a dedicated app and website at hemantjewellers.com.

The Goldsmith Who Built a Gold Jewellery Store in Wakad, Pune From Scratch

The story begins not in a boardroom, but in Kopargaon in 1992, where a young man named Hemant Dandgaval chose goldsmithing over a conventional career path immediately after completing his 10th standard. For five years, he immersed himself in the ancient art of karagiri, the intricate, hand-intensive craft of traditional gold jewellery making. By 1998, armed with skill, integrity, and a 100 sq. ft. shop, he launched Hemant Jewellers, Wakad, Pune, a trusted jeweller in Wakad since 1998. No inherited wealth. No existing customer base. Just craft, character, and an unshakeable commitment to quality. Over nearly three decades, that foundation has never shifted.

Beyond Ornaments: The Bhishi Scheme and Digital Gold SIP for Pune Investors

Beyond traditional ornaments, Hemant Jewellers, Wakad offers two investment products that distinguish it from conventional jewellery retail in Pune. The Bhishi Scheme, the brand's flagship structured monthly gold savings plan, allows customers to contribute fixed amounts over defined tenures and receive the full accumulated gold value at maturity, making large festival and wedding purchases manageable. The Digital Gold SIP, accessible via the Hemant Jewellers app on Android and iOS, enables gold investment from as little as ₹1 with live 22K and 24K rate tracking and physical redemption at the Wakad showroom. For Pune's IT professionals across Hinjawadi, Baner, and Balewadi, these products bridge the gap between digital-first financial habits and the trust of a 27-year institution, all accessible at hemantjewellers.com.

How Technology Is Preserving Heritage Jewellery for Jewellers in PCMC

The launch of the Hemant Jewellers, Wakad, Pune mobile app marks a pivotal moment for the brand, and for lovers of heritage jewellery across Pune and PCMC. Now available on both the iOS App Store and Google Play Store, the Hemant Jewellers app brings the showroom's full heritage catalogue, including antique gold jewellery and traditional bridal collections, alongside a modern array of lightweight gold jewellery designs for daily wear and office-wear diamond ornaments directly to a smartphone screen. Beyond acting as a virtual design catalogue, the app introduces full financial transparency to Wakad and Hinjawadi buyers: users can track live 22K and 24K gold rates in Pune in real-time, lock in rates securely, and digitally manage enrolment in the Bhishi Scheme monthly gold savings plan entirely from home. For a 25-year-old IT professional in Hinjawadi who may never have walked into a traditional jewellery showroom, this digital doorway changes everything. Scrolling through a curated collection from Wakad's oldest and most trusted jewellery showroom becomes as natural as browsing any modern app.

Bridal Jewellery Pune: Where Tradition Meets Trust

Among the most significant offerings is the brand's comprehensive bridal jewellery collection in Pune, covering engagement, wedding, and family occasion pieces rooted in cultural identity. Every piece is BIS Hallmarked, ensuring purity standards that honour both the craftsmanship and the customer. For families navigating wedding jewellery in Pune, this combination of heritage design and certified quality, accessible digitally or in person at Utkarsh Chowk, is increasingly rare. Hemant Jewellers, Wakad, Pune offers both without compromise.

A Living Archive, Not a Museum Piece

What makes Hemant Jewellers, Wakad, Pune distinctive is its refusal to treat tradition as nostalgia. The collections are not archived, they are active, available, and discoverable by a new generation through the gold jewellery store in Wakad, Pune at hemantjewellers.com and the official app. Traditional craft does not need to die quietly. It needs a platform. In Wakad, Pune, it has found one.
