2. ROMA NARSINGHANI

Mirroring her love for structural elements in her designs, Roma’s trajectory from fashion intern to concept jewellery designer has been a stroke of serendipity. During her wedding preparations, she came across her mother’s hair bun cage with stones on it and decided to recreate it by adding her own spin to the design so she could wear it for one of the ceremonies. This experiment led to more and finally a small first collection. The rest, as they say, is history.
