In the year 1985, two friends and then diamond merchants in Surat, Laljibhai Patel and Tulshibhai Goti, founded a small diamond manufacturing unit named Shreeji Gems. Shreeji Gems witnessed moderate growth and in the year 1993, it was registered as a partnership firm and renamed to Dharmanandan Diamonds. The business continued to grow and later after 14 years, on 31 August 2007, it was formally incorporated as Dharmanandan Diamonds Pvt. Ltd.
