For Sumit, inspiration is never forced. “From a very young age, I was drawn to painting and was formally trained in art. Growing up in a family of designers, with my mother being a furniture designer, I spent countless hours in workshops watching a sketch transform into a finished object. That process shaped the way I see design today.” Extensive childhood travels through museums, palaces, art galleries, and historic cities further deepened his appreciation for craftsmanship.
“I view the world in frames. Whether it’s an ancient temple, a weathered sculpture, royal armour, an old manuscript, or a fleeting moment in nature, I instinctively notice details others may overlook. Those impressions stay with me and eventually find their way into my jewellery.”
Although he doesn’t design around trends, Sumit is fascinated by the evolution of asymmetrical earrings. “They may be completely different, yet certain elements bring them together in perfect harmony, much like yin and yang. I believe the most enduring trend is individuality. Jewellery should express personality, not just fashion,” he adds.
Prices start at Rs 5,000. Available online.
