THE ARTIST

 Every piece I design begins with an idea rather than a gemstone.

Sometimes the inspiration arrives unexpectedly. While watching the Mahabharata, I noticed the ram on the flag of Gandhar. That single symbol stayed with me until it eventually became the starting point for a jewellery creation.

At other times, inspiration comes from observation. The movement of a touch-me-not plant that folds when touched made me wonder if jewellery could also respond to touch.

There are also moments when I deliberately sit with a thought and allow it to evolve slowly. The Mysterious Vase emerged from such a search. I wanted to create an object that opens to reveal something hidden inside, turning jewellery into an experience rather than just an ornament.

Ideas often stay with me for months. Sometimes they become designs. Sometimes they remain experiments that I eventually let go of.

What matters to me is the pursuit of the idea itself. Once the concept is clear, gold, diamonds and gemstones simply become the medium through which that idea takes form.

Jewellery, for me, begins in imagination and gradually finds its physical shape.
