Even after a having large physical inventory, they still lacked the flexibility in terms of providing multiple sizes or variations of the same design. They usually didn\u2019t offer any customization on their pre-set jewellery in terms of changing the quality of diamonds or colour or purity of metal.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-550 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.viranigems.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/virani-vs-other-with-physical-inventory-gap.jpg\" data-gif=\"http:\/\/blog.viranigems.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/virani-vs-other-with-physical-inventory.gif\" alt=\"virani-vs-other-with-physical-inventory\" width=\"890\" height=\"375\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We asked ourselves, can we solve these problems using technology? Can we give our customers the best jewellery shopping experience by not being just another eCommerce store, but by introducing innovative features such as trying on a 3D printed model at home before buying the actual piece of jewellery, or viewing their jewellery in a complete 3D 360 Degree environment online?<\/p>\n<p>We wanted to be a brand that merges art and innovation. We wanted to offer thousands of design options with full flexibility of changing diamond quality and metal colour for each of the designs, but without having a multi-million dollar inventory of diamond and gold.<\/p>\n<p>Experience our cost effective, completely transparent business model that offers fully certified jewellery made with conflict free diamonds only at www.viranigems.com.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"pvc_stats_525\" class=\"pvc_stats all  \" data-element-id=\"525\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.viranigems.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/page-views-count\/ajax-loader-2x.gif\" border=0 \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Earlier this year, we launched Viranigems.com with two main ideas in mind.
