Grand Interview
Your innovative approach to capturing marine life in the Starfish Collection Fine Jewelry, particularly through the integration of over 4,000 precious stones, is remarkable - could you share the creative journey that led to this intricate combination of Orange Sapphires, Garnets, and Diamonds?
The creative journey for the Starfish Collection began with my love for the ocean and the diversity of marine life. As a scuba diver, I’ve encountered numerous starfish, each with unique patterns and hues. This inspired me to replicate their individuality through a vibrant palette of Orange Sapphires, Pink Sapphires, Rubies, and Tsavorite Garnets. These stones were thoughtfully chosen to reflect the rich colors and textures of starfish I observed underwater. The addition of Diamonds and Tahitian Pearls added an ethereal touch, elevating the design to fine jewelry artistry.
The shell-shaped clasp design in the Starfish Collection Fine Jewelry demonstrates exceptional attention to detail - what inspired this specific design element, and how does it contribute to both the functionality and artistic narrative of the collection?
The shell-shaped clasp was inspired by the ocean’s holistic beauty and serves as a nod to the marine world that the collection celebrates. Functionally, it provides a seamless and secure closure that integrates into the piece without disrupting its aesthetic flow. Artistically, the shell design complements the starfish motif, creating a cohesive marine narrative. By mimicking natural elements, the clasp becomes an extension of the jewelry's story, symbolizing the interconnectedness of marine life.
Your experience as a certified scuba diver clearly influenced the Starfish Collection Fine Jewelry - how did your underwater encounters in the Andaman Islands shape the anatomical accuracy and artistic interpretation of these marine creatures in your designs?
Diving in the Andaman Islands provided an intimate view of the details and behaviors of starfish in their natural habitat. Observing their vivid colors, textures, and unique patterns inspired me to recreate their anatomical precision in my designs. The Starfish Collection translates these observations into wearable art, emphasizing the organic curves and natural symmetry of starfish. My goal was to honor their beauty while adding an artistic flair, capturing their essence through the vibrant gemstones and fluid design.

- Production Technology
- The process starts with rendering of a sketch. Once the sketch is finalized, we start preparing the CAD drawing for the piece to finalize the shape and the technicalities of the materials involved. Once the CAD is finalised, the piece is casted into 18K Gold and the stone setting process starts by hand after which the piece goes into polishing and final fitting for the perfect look. The collection has been set in 18 K Gold with 53.92cts Orange Sapphires, 25.47cts Tsavourite Garnets, 13.50cts Rubies, 13.23cts Pink Sapphires, 35.73cts GH VS Diamonds and 202.61cts of Tahitian Pearls.
- Design Challenge
- Starfish's come in all sizes and colors. It wasn't easy to capture the essence of the beautiful creature with justice to its beauty. A lot of color selection and sorting of stones had to be done to get the perfect color combinations.
Designing the shell shaped clasp and welding one starfish onto another was also a challenge that we overcame with a flawless manufacturing technique. - Research
- I went through multiple dives and research in understanding the anatomy and movement of the starfish. It is very important to get the anatomy right, else the piece looks animated.
- Inspiration
- The Starfish Collection has been inspired from my scuba diving in the Andaman. Starfish being celestial symbols of infinite divine love, also holds characteristics such as intuition, brilliance, vigilance and inspiration. While diving, they are one of the marine creatures that I always look out for. Amazingly, you will never see one like another.
- Project Duration
- The inspiration came to me in December 2021 in Andamans Island. The design concept started in February 2022 in Chandigarh, India. The production began in March 2022 in Jaipur, India and was completed in July 2022.
- Operation Flow
- The collection is very easy to wear. You can simply press and pull the concealed button on the shell shaped clasp of the necklace and bracelet to open. Gently push back to close until it locks.
