he designer and founder of Khepri Jewels, Reema Chopra, has an ease and familiarity with fine gems and collectable design that is evident in the apparently effortless use of big diamonds and sizable and noteworthy gems in her collections. Without fuss or pomp, her pieces display the permanence of heirlooms, the sophistication of high jewelry and a metaphysical appeal that is both subtle and substantive. Launched in 2023, Khepri is a relatively young brand, and yet the remarkable craftsmanship and exceptional level of creativity showcased throughout Reema’s collections are rooted in a lifetime of passion and a wealth of hands on experience.
In the development of Khepri Jewels, Reema has leveraged her natural talent for sizing up private clients, ascertaining their lifestyle and needs and creating wearable pieces that help them manifest the best version of themselves.

After working diligently at a prosperous career in corporate finance, Reema was drawn to a love that was born in childhood and lovingly nurtured by her mother. She followed her heart and began designing jewelry for discerning private clients, before working for years sourcing gemstones for major, high end retailers.

Along her path, she further honed her skills while obtaining her GIA certificate in New York City, fully embracing the opportunity to work alongside master diamond cutters and renowned diamontaires. Asked one day by a friend to purchase her engagement ring, Reema was inspired to turn the pain of her friend’s divorce into a narrative of empowerment. It was in this seminal moment that she decided to launch a brand offering jewelry that could serve as a source of transformation and affirmation.

In the development of Khepri Jewels, Reema has leveraged her natural talent for sizing up private clients, ascertaining their lifestyle and needs and creating wearable pieces that help them manifest the best version of themselves.

And while founding Khepri has made her work commercially available, the scrupulous attention Reema pays to all aspects of the design and fabrication process coupled with the sentiment and purpose inherent in every single piece results in a feeling of intimacy between jewelry and collector.

With a familial connection to diamonds and gemstones that can be traced back generations, Reema’s intentional use of precious stones showcases her reverence for their mystical powers. Allowing the gems to dictate the direction of her designs, she honors their spiritual qualities with a thoughtful approach to her creative process, being mindful of even the most minuscule detail in her designs.

With each meticulously selected gemstone, every carefully examined diamond, every thoughtfully considered and lavish use of gold, the pieces transcend their component parts to become armor, a magic shield of protection.

The word Khepri is the name of an ancient Egyptian God, known as the Sun God and celebrated for his connection to rebirth and renewal. Translating directly to “to come into existence,” that mantra is at play throughout Reema’s designs, revealing her belief that a piece isn’t truly complete until it’s in the hands of its collector.

Stamping each piece in her collection with a distinctive star, Khepri Jewels is an invitation to face the sun, and a symbol of Reema’s commitment to continually create pieces that feel relevant today, that will be fashionable well into the future, and that when adorned, highlight ones’ most exalted and sublime self.
