Niyati is a dynamic professional with an illustrious career spanning over 6+ years in the jewellery industry. What started as a humble journey as a designer has evolved into a multifaceted role as a strategist, consumer researcher, and entrepreneur.

 

Niyati's profound love for design and creation flourished into an enduring passion for jewellery after completing her Bachelor's degree in Accessory Design from NIFT, India.

Niyati came to appreciate the emotions it holds, the stories it tells, and the profound expressions it enables. Every piece of jewellery, she believes, mirrors the artisans who craft it and resonates with the wearers who cherish it.
