Drop Pearl and 18 Karat Gold Earring

Original design by Reema Keswani for GOLCONDA, a boutique jewelry firm based in midtown Manhattan specializing in fine jewelry & gems for those attracted to the power my jewels confer as talismans and amulets. Inspired by sacred geometry. Antique and vintage jewelry are important sources of inspiration, and I am honored to have served as President of the American Society of Jewelry Historians. You will see the influence of diverse cultures and styles in my work. New developments in 3D printing technology also excite me, and allow me to explore new frontiers in jewelry manufacturing. I was trained in jewelry design by my mentor A.V. Shinde, a legendary jewelry designer who spent the first two decades of his career designing for Indian royalty, and the next forty-five years as head designer for Harry Winston. After three years of intimate conversations, Shinde Jewels (Assouline, 2004) was published. The book offers a bird's eye view of the artistic accomplishments of a man The New York Times called 'a leading figure in design known only to cognoscenti.'
