Let's get personal
I was born in India into a family of goldsmiths—a tradition that runs deep in my blood. Growing up, I was surrounded by the art of jewelry making, with uncles, cousins, and elders all engaged in the craft. But like many, I took a different path. Over a decade ago, I immigrated to Australia and pursued a career in tech. While I found success in that world, the love for jewelry making always lingered, like a quiet hum in the background of my life.
Then, a life-changing event shook me to my core—the loss of my partner’s pregnancy. It was a devastating reminder of how fragile life is and made me rethink my priorities. I realized that if I didn’t make time for what truly matters, I might never get the chance. That’s when I decided to turn my lifelong hobby into my full-time passion, and Sailors and Seekers was born.
My designs are a blend of the two worlds I straddle—my Indian heritage and my deep love for the Australian landscape. I find endless inspiration in the ocean's rhythms and the ancient wisdom of Indian culture. Although I don’t get out to surf as often as I’d like, the ocean remains a sacred place for me—a source of healing, peace, and creativity.
Every piece of jewelry is handcrafted in small batches in my country workshop, where it’s just me and my trusty apprentice, Moka, my loyal Rottweiler. He’s always by my side, keeping me company as I work, and in his own way, helping me stay grounded. And, of course, none of this would be possible without the unwavering support of my partner, Shula. She is my strength, my muse, and the reason I’m able to pour my heart into this craft every single day.
At Sailors and Seekers, we believe in the power of meaningful connections—whether it’s with the ocean, our cultural roots, or the people who wear our jewelry. Every piece I create carries a piece of my soul, a story of resilience, love, and the belief in karma.
Thank you for being a part of this journey with me.
