Born into a family that was immersed in the fashion industry, Ananya was exposed to a world rich in creativity from a young age. Encouraged by her family to forge her own path, she discovered her true creative calling while studying jewelry design at Central Saint Martins in London. Immersing herself in her art, Ananya received several awards and accolades and took on projects and challenges that allowed her to expand her design acumen and expertise. Wanting to further her exploration of jewelry and gemology, she earned her Graduate Gemology degree at the Gemological Institute of America (GIA). That experience served to enhance her reverence for precious gems and allowed her to deepen her understanding of how to capture the flow of physical energy with various gemstone combinations.

Ananya’s authentic faith in the power of gemstones coupled with her spiritual and mystical beliefs continually fuel her creative process. In 2016, feeling she had a blockage in her root chakra, Ananya created a ruby bracelet with a black onyx bar as an antidote to the situation. Soon thereafter she launched her collection, and the design of that bracelet is the distinguishing aesthetic of the brand. Her chakra bracelets are now available in more than 50 combinations of gemstones, each offering its own unique healing powers along with its own distinct beauty. In order to fully capitalize on the power imbued in Ananya’s jewelry, many collectors of her work consult with a spiritual healer before each acquisition, while others consult the comprehensive glossary the brand provides.

While rooted in Indian spiritual heritage and values, Ananya’s jewelry also embodies a global sensibility. Dividing her time between Chennai, London and Miami, Ananya’s approach to design is demonstrative of her fresh, cosmopolitan perspective. Honoring the profound tradition of Indian jewelry design, she painstakingly hand-selects each of the stones she incorporates into her body of work, and she collaborates with master artisans in Jaipur, India and Bangkok in creating her pieces. This uncompromising commitment to excellence ensures Ananya’s impeccable standards of craftsmanship are safeguarded throughout every step of the creative and fabrication process, and that the stories attributed to her pieces will evolve with the lives of their wearers.
