Having been born in India and brought up there, she learned all about the significance of wearing specific jewelry pieces as a form of expression. We were able to sit down with her and ask her more about this amazing journey.

For this particular collection, we were inspired by four different tribes from four different corners of India. They included the Rabari tribe, a selection of northeastern tribes, the Dhokra tribe and the Kunbis tribe. These tribes were selected because of their unique craft work and the way they have maintained the tradition. We also have a separate coin collection because coins are an important part of Indian craftsmanship.
