In the year 1928, a traditional temple town in Tamil Nadu by name Kumbakonam was well known for its rich heritage of artisans, artifacts and was popular for gold and silver jewellery. A resident of Kumbakonam, dynamic far sighted and a visionary the founder Sri A.V.Ramachandran Chettiar migrated to Salem with big dreams and set up his shop here.
The size of the shop was just a mere 10 feet by 10 feet. He used to sit in a shop with a double-headed Annapakshi, which was delicately engraved with pure silver by his side. This was a beautiful beetle box which is always kept by his right side. In those days with less literacy, the Annapakshi became an object to identify the shop and people used to say go to the shop with a double-headed Annapakshi and you will surely get good quality and good designs in jewellery.
The shop flourished and won a lots of customers for its quality conscious approach and further expanded to become a 600 square feet shop. In the year 1935, Sri AR Balakrishnana Chettiar came into the business and continued to develop and foster the trust and goodwill for the AVR family.
1984 was a memorable year because his son Sri A.B.Sudarsanam Chettiar a dynamic visionary with strong business acumen and farsighted business skills expanded the shop into a modern store of 5,000 square feet. It was this store that became a milestone in the jewellery business which set unparalleled examples for the jewellery trade in Salem. It became the first store in India to be a 100 % KDM shop thereby setting new standards in the jewellery business for quality and trustworthiness.
1997 saw the emergence of the Son Sri A.B.S.Sanjjay Chettiar into the business. This shop also became a hundred percent hallmark showroom in the year 2000. In 2004 history was created and one of the biggest jewellery showrooms with 25,000 square feet was opened in Tamil Nadu at Swarnapuri in Salem with the title “AVR Swarna Mahal Jewellers.”
