Inspiration
I consider my jewelry wearable art. Henna artisans commonly tattoo a woman’s hands prior to her wedding in India, a craft known as “mehndi”. And to the unaccustomed eye, the Indian bride is often first noted for her strikingly rich, deep red-brown colored hands. Only upon closer inspection, does one see the intricate and detailed work of the artisan. Similarly, in my jewelry, bold stone arrangements initially attract the attention of the beholder, only to give way to the fine and subtle beauty of a unique painted centerpiece.


Materials
I paint patterns spontaneously on acrylic to create pendants for necklaces, chandeliers and danglers for earrings, and charms for bracelets. Semi-precious stones such as turquoise, jade, rose quartz, and amethyst adorn these pieces to create visually striking juxtapositions.


Style
Each of my jewelry pieces is upscale, unique and, in a sense, one of a kind. And while all things “Indian” seem quite the fashionable rage these days, I consider my jewelry more than just trendy because of each design’s individual detail and craftsmanship

Market Appeal
In the private market, my jewelry has enjoyed a wide appeal. Young, single professional women to middle-aged mothers of children have purchased pieces. A piece is versatile enough to be worn every day, and yet, possesses enough elegance to make it suitable for a special night out. All of my customers have commented that whenever they wear my jewelry, the piece invariably gets complimentarily noticed.
