"I learned my craft from my father. As a child I used to watch my dad and uncle craft beautiful sculptures. Everyone used to work at home together, and it was fun to see! Ours is a joined family and we grew up with a strong bond. All my relatives are involved in carving, and I joined them after finishing 10th standard grade at school. My father, grandfather, and my uncle are recipients of the National Award for Excellence in handcrafted products.

"My father's Award was actually for his ivory carvings – what exquisite pieces of art he used to make! However when the government banned the trade of ivory in 1991, my father had to hand over all the work he made to the government. Being the skilled master carver that he was, he easily transitioned to wood. He used to tell me that carving ivory was more tedious than wood carving.

"Carving has been a family tradition passed on from one generation to another. Dad taught me at the family workshop, but formally speaking, my grandfather was my teacher. That is because in 1990 the Indian government started a year-long training skill program for young artisans, and my grandfather was the trainer there. It was great learning experience! Although, I already had the know-how of crafting, it was only during this training that I actually got interested and decided to join my family.

"We specialize in all kinds of sculptures as well as in wood jewelries. Although jewelry is really more popular at the moment, my personal interest still lies in carving intricate sculptures. All of my family, including my four brothers, is involved in this craft and we love doing this art work.

"In 2009, I was selected by the Oman government to be a part of their training program. I went there as a trainer for one year and it was a great experience. I also got the opportunity to participate in government sponsored exhibitions in Austria and Iran, and I have traveled all over India to participate in many government sponsored exhibitions."

Just received the Mughal Enchantress Pendant. It is delicate, light in weight with a beautiful presence. The workmanship is meticulous. The 24" length is a big long, but with a little creativity, I have found easy ways to shorten to different lengths. The artisan creates stunning pieces to be proud of.

I bought this for my wife for mothers day. She truly appreciates the beauty and skill required to produce such a wonderful piece and loves wearing things like this that have a life of their own.

Christina

delicate workmanship - beautiful

Anne

This is yet another example of truly exquisite workmanship. A beautiful necklace to treasure. Thank You Chander.

Carol

I gave these pendants to two friends of mine who are twins. They'd recently rode elephants together in Africa, so this was very warmly received. They both wore them immediately and received many compliments. The workmanship is fabulous and it's a really fun fashion statement also. Chander Kant, you are an amazing artisan. Cheers!

Susan

What a lovely and incandescent piece this is. Simple yet involved. If you hold the pendant far away, you see the design of a plant curving up from the ground. Hold it closer, to the light, and you see the elephant behind the plant. Due to its generous size, it is a statement piece - but of quietude and natural things. The wood bead necklace is just as lovely in its simplicity. I love this piece and will wear it with honor throughout my life.

Lynn

Beautiful and delicate, a nice piece.

Lynda J.

this I bought as a gift for a friend who owns several parrots and loves them dearly. She loved the necklace, so I think I found a truly unique gift.

Stefani

Thank you for this beautiful piece. It is now one of my aunts little treasures. It has such intricate and delicate work, and it pairs well with pretty much anything she wears. Beautiful work, thank you.
