About Us
VEATGE ( WAY-AAA-JE) // Journey
Veatge, pronounced similarly to voyage, comes from the Catalan word "Viatge," meaning "journey." It embodies the idea of enjoying life's journey—the good, the bad, and everything in between. The founder couple discovered it during their visit to the beautiful town of Girona in Spain.
THE FOUNDERS
Veatge was launched in late 2017 by Dipak & Krishna Chavda. Krishna's ties to the jewelry industry date back to her earliest years, working with the fine jewelry business her father established in India in 1986. As a teen, she would help out her dad and uncle in their 22k gold jewelry business in India. A career in jewelry wasn't something that she had planned.
After moving to the U.S. and working in Houston's corporate sector for several years, she stayed at home when her daughter was born. She had long been making jewelry out of beads and wires and decided to take her skills to the next level by enrolling in a silversmithing school. It wasn't until Dipak recognized her potential and pushed her to create a business that she was passionate about. Starting with only a handful of designs and limited capital, she, along with Dipak, launched Veatge. They knew they were on the right path when their customers began putting themselves on a waiting list for their gold statement rings. The business grew just by word of mouth.
We are based in Houston, Texas with a small team of happy people with strong diversity and passion for what we do. You can catch us hanging out on Instagram or meet us in person at one of our Events.
