Malpani Jewels
With a history of jewelry making that spans almost 300 years, Malpani Jewels continues a rich family legacy of crafting exquisite designs for gem connoisseurs around the world.
The story of Malpani Jewels began in 1727 when the Malpani family served as jewelers to the monarch of Jaipur in India. For generations, the family created luxurious pieces for Indian royalty, each impeccably crafted with some of the rarest gemstones in the world.
Since then, the family business has evolved. In 1984, Malpani Jewels became a brand of Dynamics International, a conglomerate formed by brothers Ashu and Raja Malpani. After traveling extensively throughout the Middle East, Europe and North America, Ashu developed a passion for jewelry design, with many of his contemporary pieces inspired by nature. The Sun Ray cocktail ring, floral motif dangle earrings and the turquoise mermaid bangle are just a few examples of Ashu’s designs that draw on the world around us.
From their workshops in Hong Kong and Japan, Malpani Jewels specialize in creating accessories in a range of styles — the firm is inspired by classic design and Art Nouveau as well as modern trends and the Art Deco era.
Handcrafted Malpani solitaire rings, cluster rings and wedding rings, as well as its tennis bracelets, chandelier earrings and stud earrings, feature fancy color diamonds, emeralds, and rubies set in 18-karat gold. Many designs also see an integration of Asian influences with Japanese red coral, black pearls and South Sea pearls.
Malpani Jewels and Dynamics International have exhibited throughout Asia, the Middle East and the United States, with shows in Hong Kong, Tokyo, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Miami and Las Vegas.
