My husband Rakesh and I are importers and exporters of high quality
gemstone beads and cabochon. We manufacture gems at our
family factory in the Indian City of Jaipur. We supply many well
known gem re-sellers, high end jewellery designers and
manufacturers. We work with new jewellery brands to create new
designs and styles.

combined with enameling.

Bruce Farley
Scottsdale, Arizona. USA,

I’m relatively new to the jewelry design/making field. I began with
simple beading about four years ago. Two years ago I expanded my
skill set to silver smithing. So far I’ve made over 100 pieces of
jewelry; rings, pendants. All in sterling silver. Currently learning
new styles in reticulation and texturing with a torch.

I’m a self taught jeweller and I have been slowly building up my
business since 2009. I mainly sell online, but also in UK galleries
(Cambridge Contemporary Crafts, Saltbox in Helmsley, etc) and
occasional local markets.

I primarily make jewellery out of silver but also enjoy cloisonne
enamelling, and recycling found objects.
