I'm a jewelry designer based in Ahmedabad, India, and I'm passionate about creating bespoke fine jewelry pieces that reflect the rich Indian cultural legacy while staying relevant to the present time.My journey with art and design started in New York, where I worked at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Brooklyn Museum of Art. There, I discovered India's incredible heritage in crafts, materials, and techniques, and I became fascinated with the history and beauty of traditional Indian jewelry.I'm inspired by the exquisite textiles, jewelry, furniture, and household artifacts of the 19th and 20th centuries that use materials and techniques inherent to India but are also influenced in design by Persian, European, and other Asian cultures. The clothes I wear, the furniture I use, the books I read, and the jewelry I design are all in sync with this 'vintage' mood.The jewelry I create reflects this rich cultural heritage, using traditional materials and techniques to create modern pieces that are both timeless and contemporary. My designs are a fusion of tradition and innovation, inspired by the beauty and complexity of Indian art and culture.
