The Story Behind the Art: Bhavesh

'I come from the enthralling city of Jaipur where I was raised by a single parent, since I lost my father at two and half years old. Jewelry crafting is our family tradition, dating back to time of Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, when my ancestors were jewelers in the kingdom of Jaipur. Since then, the tradition and art have been handed down from generation to generation.
'My father was a craftsman of precious stones. I grew up observing the colors and exquisiteness of jewelry so I was inclined to do something different within the same field. I started selling stones when I was only 16, but it turned out to be not very interesting, so I started designing jewelry. It was not difficult for me, since I knew a great deal about gems and their settings. I think it was in my blood. Eventually I opened my own workshop.
'I use both traditional and modern techniques, according to the requirement of my design. My designs were exhibited in Paris in 2003 and 2004 and received an overwhelming response.'
