Bhindi Jewelers at the Americana at Brand

What changed: In September 2026, Bhindi Jewelers opened its relocated Glendale store at The Americana at Brand, replacing its longtime Glendale Galleria location.

Size: National Jeweler (Sept. 21, 2026) reported the new space at about 9,500 square feet — more than double the Galleria store’s roughly 4,300 square feet.

Design: Per that coverage, the showroom was designed by Studio Tonic as a contemporary “timepiece haven” inspired by luxury-resort hospitality, with European oak, natural stone, bronze-toned finishes, and layered textures. Layout notes include a dedicated watch section, jewelry presentation areas, intimate lounges, and private VIP rooms.

Opening: Ribbon-cutting on Sept. 9, 2026, hosted by the Bhindi family with Americana developer Rick Caruso, Glendale Mayor Ardy Kassakhian, and Glendale Police Chief Robert William. Ashwin Bhindi, chief marketing officer, described the move as the next chapter of a family business built on relationships across generations.

Directory note: The Americana’s own directory lists Bhindi as a third-generation, family-owned jeweler with an immersive shopping experience for fine jewelry and luxury timepieces. Pair this stop with shopping in Glendale, and check Coming Soon to Glendale for other openings.

Maps tip: Search “Bhindi Jewelers Americana Way” or the 519 Americana Way address. The 889 Americana Way pin is the center’s main address used on many mall pages (and on Americana’s Bhindi directory listing). For phone, use (818) 243-8755 — the 818.637.8982 number on some Americana pages is the center’s general line, not the jeweler’s store phone.

Bhindi’s Glendale brand mix is best verified from current reporting and the company’s own pages. For the new Americana store, National Jeweler listed jewelry and watch collections including:

• Rolex
• Cartier
• Tudor
• Bulgari (Bvlgari)
• Jaeger-LeCoultre
• Grand Seiko
• Gerald Charles
• Zenith
• Laurent Ferrier
• TAG Heuer

The Americana directory similarly highlights Rolex, Cartier, Bvlgari, and Tudor. Bhindi’s Glendale Rolex pages also identify the store as part of the Official Rolex Jeweler network and as a Rolex Certified Pre-Owned jeweler.

Across the company (not always Glendale-specific inventory), Bhindi emphasizes:

• 22K gold jewelry and diamond / gemstone pieces
• GIA-certified diamonds and custom diamond work (company history and bridal pages)
• Luxury timepieces with shop-in-shop style presentations at larger stores

Inventory turns, and authorized brand lists can change. Call the Glendale store or check Bhindi’s Glendale page before a brand-specific trip.

Bridal is a core Bhindi strength. The company’s bridal pages describe both American bridal jewelry and elaborate Indian bridal designs, including:

• Engagement rings and wedding bands
• Indian bridal necklace sets, bangles, earrings, and statement pieces
• Mangalsutras
• Bridal gold and diamond jewelry
• Uncut gemstone pieces
• Custom and coordinated looks across multiple ceremonies

Bhindi says bridal specialists help with traditions, personal style, and creating something original or customizing an existing design. The company also states a microscope is available in all showrooms so customers can view stones with staff assistance, and it describes gold standards of 22K for gold and stone jewelry and 18K for diamond jewelry on its bridal FAQ content.

Practical tip: For engagement rings, full bridal sets, or Rolex / high-value watches, book ahead. Bhindi maintains a Book an Appointment page and lists the Glendale store there. Walk-ins are often fine for browsing, but appointments protect time with a specialist — especially weekends.

What we could verify

• Official Rolex Jeweler — new Rolex purchases come with Rolex’s international guarantee process described on Bhindi’s Rolex pages.
• Rolex Certified Pre-Owned — Glendale is listed on Bhindi’s RCPO Glendale contact page.
• Rolex bracelet / strap sizing — Bhindi’s Rolex team page says staff can adjust bracelets or straps, add or remove links on metal bracelets, wind/set the watch, and check functions before you leave.
• Rolex servicing access — as an Official Rolex Jeweler, Bhindi’s watch-repairs page describes Rolex servicing and repairs (cleaning/oiling, parts, water-resistance tests). Note: that page still references a horology workshop in the “Glendale Galleria showroom,” so confirm with the Americana store whether service drop-off is handled on-site after the move.
• Bridal / custom consultations — company bridal pages describe one-on-one guidance and custom design.
• Appointments — bookable via Bhindi’s appointment page or by calling Glendale.

Not verified for this guide (omitted on purpose): general jewelry appraisals, non-Rolex repair pricing, financing terms, and trade-in formulas. Ask the store directly for those.

Per Bhindi’s official history page, the family’s retail story begins in Suva, Fiji, where fifth-generation goldsmith Karsanji Bhindi and his brothers opened a shop in the early 1950s. The next generation expanded to Vancouver in 1975, then to Artesia (“Little India”) in Southern California in 1984, San Francisco / Newark in 1987, and Atlanta in 1995. The company became an authorized Rolex retailer in 1998 and opened its first Glendale boutique at the Galleria in 2013.

Today Bhindi describes itself as a multi-generation, family-run business with four U.S. locations: Los Angeles (Artesia flagship), Glendale, San Francisco (Newark), and Atlanta. National Jeweler likewise calls the Glendale Americana store a third-generation, family-owned operation. You will often meet a Bhindi family member on the floor — the company’s own history page notes that chance.

Validation: Americana retailers commonly validate for a limited window. Exact free minutes and spend rules change and are not clearly posted as a single public rate card on Americana’s visit page. Ask Bhindi’s front desk what they can validate the day you visit, then exit before the validated window ends — going over can cancel the validation and charge full garage rates. Confirm at the pay machines too.
