In their simplest form, diamonds are composed of carbon and created as a display of beauty after overcoming tremendous pressure. It is the symbolic connection between the strongest mineral on Earth and the significant strength of women that inspires me. I believe every woman deserves a piece of jewelry that is a beautiful and powerful representation of who she is, and that’s how Carbon 6 came to light.
My story begins in San Francisco, where I have spent many years working in the fashion industry, from modeling to merchandising and jewelry design for a leading retailer. Having an Indian background, jewels are in my blood and I have always been energized by the impact jewelry has on a woman’s confidence. It’s not just the final touch of an ensemble; it is a way to feel beautiful and make a personal statement about who you are without saying a word. I knew very early on that creating my own jewelry line was in my future.
As a mother, it’s important that I inspire my daughter to feel confident in her own skin, to be strong, to be humble and to achieve whatever she puts her mind to. I grew up with a loving, hard-working mother and entrepreneurial father who always inspired me to be creatively rebellious and independent. Creating Carbon 6 has been the perfect way to indulge my creative spirit and lead by example for my daughter, just like my parents did for me.
My pieces are custom made with expert craftsmanship using sustainable materials, such as recycled gold, which results in minimal environmental degradation. Each diamond is handpicked and conflict free, ensuring the highest standards of quality and sustainability. The result is an exquisite fine jewelry collection that is clean and modern, yet powerful enough for our strongest minerals on Earth, our women.
Through Carbon 6, I can only hope to inspire an amazing community of women to invest in themselves with meaningful pieces of jewelry that elevate their strongest attributes and show the world everything they’re capable of.
