VASUNDHARA PARAKH

Vasundhara Parakh is a London based designer of Indian origin. She is taking the traditional Indian craft of jewellery making into the modern era.
Drawing her inspiration from the rich culture and craftsmanship of India, she is taking it to a global platform.
Her story began with the sense of wonderment she felt while digging through the decorative objects nestled in her great grandmothers' closets.
To further her understanding of the arts, Vasundhara joined the prestigious National Institute of Fashion Technology in New Delhi. She was awarded her Bachelors Degree in Accessory Design. Her pursuit led her to Milan's famed Domus Academy from where she obtained a Master's Degree in Design.
In homage to her Indian roots she touches upon some intricacy of India: its vast vocabulary of colours, forms and textures.
Her work involves experimentation with semi precious and precious stones with vivid colours, forms and luminosities.

As an avid traveler, she draws on her diverse experience for inspiration.

Her efforts are directed towards the creation of delicate sculptural pieces. The fine craftsmanship that results is a process that involves a close-knit group of expert lapidaries and technicians who work closely with Vasundhara.

Vasundhara divides her time between London, where her sketching and conceptualization takes place and India, where her creations are hand made and crafted.
