Story Behind the Art:

I used to help my husband design a style or two, until I came out with my own design style. I love every aspect of my work! Hi friends, I am Parul and I was born and brought up in Delhi. I come from a traditional Indian family with rich cultural and traditional values. I have always been mesmerized by the richness and uniqueness of our Indian art and culture, especially jewelries. Traditional jewelries styles are so captivating! When I got married, I saw my dreams coming one step closer since my husband was already in the field of jewelry design. I used to help my husband design a style or two, until I came out with my own design style. I love every aspect of my work! Besides keeping me busy and occupied, it definitely provides us with a source of income.

I have not taken any professional courses and whatever I know, is what I have learned from my husband and my own experience. I feel that a professional course is not always essential to achieving success. In the field of art, you have to have it in you, and work hard to achieve success. I design all my jewelries and experienced silversmiths help me craft them. I oversee each and every step. My designs are basically inspired by traditional Indian styles and setting, with a touch of modern elements. I have exhibited my jewelry collections at several emporiums, and I am pleased to say that people have admired my work. It is a great opportunity for me to be associated with Novica. I have two lovely daughters, and when they grow up, I would definitely like to open a boutique.
