Palmonas Raises $40 Million for Jewellery Expansion
Demi-fine jewellery brand Palmonas has successfully secured $40 million (approximately Rs 373 crore) in a recent Series B funding round, which was led by Xponentia Capital and Vertex Growth Fund, along with contributions from its existing investor, Vertex Ventures. Startup Superb recently reported this funding achievement.
Previously, Palmonas had garnered Rs 55 crore from Vertex Ventures in May of last year, a detail that was also exclusively covered by Startup Superb. The new funds will primarily be allocated towards enhancing its offline retail footprint, thereby strengthening its current store network.

Established in 2022 by Pallavi Mohadikar and Amol Patwari, Palmonas has seen Bollywood actress Shraddha Kapoor join the team as a co-founder. The brand operates as an omnichannel jewellery provider, offering demi-fine pieces through both online platforms and physical outlets.
The brand aims to deliver affordable jewellery designed from materials like sterling silver and stainless steel with gold plating, appealing to consumers looking for options that blend fashion with fine jewellery.
