Parul silver and gemstone jewelry

"Hi friends. I was born and brought up in Delhi. I come from a traditional Indian family with rich cultural and traditional values. I have always been mesmerized by the richness and uniqueness of our Indian art and culture, especially jewelry. Traditional jewelry styles are so captivating!

"When I got married, I saw my dreams coming one step closer since my husband was already in the field of jewelry design. I used to help my husband design a style or two, until I came out with my own design style. I love every aspect of my work! Besides keeping me busy and occupied, it definitely provides us with a source of income.

"I haven't taken any professional courses and whatever I know is what I have learned from my husband and my own experience. I feel that a professional course isn't always essential to achieving success. In the field of art, you have to have it in you, and work hard to achieve success.

"I design all my jewelry and experienced silversmiths help me craft it. I oversee each and every step. My designs are basically inspired by traditional Indian styles and settings, with a touch of modern elements. I have exhibited my jewelry collections at several emporiums, and I am pleased to say that people have admired my work. It is a great opportunity for me to be associated with you. I have two lovely daughters and, when they grow up, I would definitely like to open a boutique."
