Shivani Choudhary handcrafted sterling silver and gemstone jewelry
"I'm from New Delhi, the capital city of India, where I was born in 1985. I am a Scorpio and a very creative, ambitious, and hardworking person.
"My mother is a fashion designer and my biggest inspiration. I grew up watching her balance her time between work and home. She has an apparel boutique and worked very hard to run it. Even at the age of 64, she is so hardworking and active. I aspire to be like her. As a child, I frequently visited her boutique and loved the bright colors, lovely designs, and the charm of the apparel. Everything there fascinated me, even the ambience.
"I graduated from the university in architecture and also studied interior design at a local design institute. For a few years, I worked as an architect in a firm but I didn't feel the same satisfaction and happiness that I used to feel when I visited my mother's boutique. I always wanted to be a designer, so I decided to leave my job as an architect and assist my mother in her boutique. She has been my mentor and guide all throughout. After my marriage and the birth of my first child, I could no longer help my mother in her boutique, so I designed some clothing at home to add to her collection.
"I wanted to do something more, so I decided to try my hand at designing jewelry. Even when I designed apparel, I'd advise shoppers on what kind of jewelry would complement their outfits. I would even sketch some suggested jewelry designs for them.
"Initially, it was very difficult to balance family and professional life, but I slowly and gradually made my way through. Now, I have a small workshop and a team of artisans working with me to give shape to my designs. My jewelry is both traditional and modern. We use silver, brass, copper, gold, and colorful gemstones, and also work with leather and wood.
"My work is unique. I love creating new designs although it's challenging to come up with unusual designs every day to fulfill each customer's needs. I sing inspiration everywhere, like nature, animals, humans, birds, and technology, as well as the intricate jali work and carvings in the royal palaces and forts of Rajasthan.
"We have participated in many local wedding and jewelry exhibitions in Delhi and the NCR (National Capital Region). The team of artisan who collaborate with me is innovative and expert. My workshop provides jobs to the local community and their salaries help them educate their children. My dream is to expand globally and make my work known on a larger scale."

This green onyx cocktail ring is beautiful in the photo and even more beautiful in person! The color is stunning! It's the perfect size to be noticed and yet is quite refined and feminine. I had planned on wearing it for special occasions but it looks so wonderful with everything that I'm inclined to wear it daily. Simply gorgeous!

The ring was even better than the photographs. I bought it to remind myself of the courage I had to summon to triumph over a serious medical condition. Note that it’s a men’s ring, but I’m female. I bought one size larger than usual, because I thought the band might be hard to get over my knuckle (but I probably could have bought my usual size).

I ordered this for my fiance, it caught his eye in the catalog. It's very nice and well crafted and he wears it all the time. The only thing he was slightly disappointed in was that it's kind of hollowed out in the back, we expected a more solid piece with a flat back. It's still fairly substantial though and he likes it a lot.

I love the different color materials used and the moonstone. The ring is quality. Its a spin ring, but I think - at least the middle protruding ring, should be fixed. It gets in the way when doing things. I would certainly recommend the ring, it is beautiful!

The symbolism is very clear: dragon eating it's tail and OM. Pendant is bigger and a bit heavier than you might expect. Chain complements it perfectly. I'd say it's actually a unisex item.

I'm keeping it because I like the design but I don't think it's very well made.
