I was born in Jaipur in the spring of 1968. Those who know me well describe me as a man who is compassionate, sincere and driven.

I learned the art of jewelry crafting from my father. I used to see artisans working and making amazing pieces of jewelry and this fascinated me. The intricacy and beauty of the designs, and the imagination I see in them attract me to this craft.

"With patience, hard work and perseverance, I've been able to master the silver arts and set up a workshop on my own. I love working with sterling silver as it is playful and easy to work with. Sourcing of the gemstones is challenging. What I love best about this craft is the delicacy and detailing in each piece of jewelry.

"I find inspiration in the different types of jewelry from all around the world and how the women style it.

"I work with my wife who takes care of marketing our work. Several artisans from the local community work with us and we are able to support their families, especially their children and their education.

"My dream is for my jewelry to become known around the world for its designs and quality."

NOVICA was started with a dream to create a better world for artisans, because a better world for artisans is a better world for all.

Along the way, the founders of NOVICA discovered something very important - as artisans around the world succeeded, there was also a visible and profound impact on the communities around them.

Your purchases are that powerful. They directly and indirectly provide for education, help with health care, fund basic needs, support children, preserve disappearing arts, and of course, spread happiness around the world.

The founders of NOVICA had a vision of the future that is not one of mega factories producing cookie cutter products for all to cheaply consume. Instead, a bright future that celebrates artisans who take the time to create an item by hand. A future where time is protected, where stories are told, where unique details are honored. Love, respect, inclusiveness become driving force.
