By the time of the Mughal Empire, however; jewelry designs
became more complex and gold had already been introduced. While the outstanding meenakari and Kundan
jewelry styles are arguably India’s most well-known style, silver jewelry is

Aparna’s love of gemstones and the craft of jewelry making was piqued. The youngest of four sisters Aparna was
talkative, curious and intelligent.
After studying “accountant business statistics” she married a man who
was a jewelry artist. She decided to
work with him by providing designs for him to make.

handmade jewelry.

“I grew up watching my father create amazing jewelry. My father learned the craft himself, and although I have not been designing very long I hope one day I am able to master the craft as my father did.”
