Founder Gabby Garewal grew up surrounded by the quiet elegance of her mother, whose jewellery was never just an accessory, but an extension of identity, culture, and grace. Some of Gabby’s earliest memories are of watching her mother carefully select each piece — the soft clink of bangles, the shimmer of gold, the ritual of adornment that transformed even the simplest outfit.
As a child, Gabby would sit in awe, waiting for the moment she could try on those treasured pieces herself — a small but powerful introduction to the emotional connection women have with jewellery. Over time, those moments evolved into heirlooms passed down, carrying stories, memories, and a deep sense of belonging.
This early influence shaped not only Gabby’s aesthetic, but her understanding of jewellery as something far more meaningful than decoration — it is heritage, expression, and identity.
Bringing passion together with expertise, Gabby went on to become a trained Gemmologist through the Gemmological Association of Australia, deepening her knowledge of gemstones, materials, and craftsmanship. This foundation ensures that every piece curated and created under Punjab & Diva reflects both beauty and quality.
Today, the bond between mother and daughter continues to inspire the brand — a full-circle journey of sharing, evolving, and celebrating jewellery across generations.
THE BRAND JOURNEY
Founded in 2010 in Sydney, Punjaban Diva was created with a clear vision — to redefine how Indian-inspired jewellery is worn, styled, and experienced in a modern world.
What began as a passion project soon evolved into a brand that bridges cultures, blending traditional Indian artistry with contemporary design sensibilities. Each piece is thoughtfully curated or handcrafted to move seamlessly between occasions — from weddings and celebrations to modern, everyday styling.
At a time when jewellery was often confined to tradition, Punjaban Diva introduced a new perspective: bold, statement pieces that could be worn not only with Indian attire, but also with global fashion.
Over the years, Punjaban Diva has grown into a recognised name within the Australian fashion space, with features in leading publications including CLEO, Cosmopolitan, and Bride to Be. The brand has also been regularly showcased on television, appearing on shows such as The Bachelor Australia and I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, and worn by celebrated Australian comedian and TV presenter Julia Morris.
But beyond recognition, the heart of Punjaban Diva remains unchanged.
Every piece is a reflection of:
- Skilled craftsmanship
- Cultural storytelling
- A belief that jewellery should empower the woman who wears it
Today, Punjaban Diva continues to celebrate bold femininity — creating jewellery for women who don’t follow trends, but define their own.
