Women are like nature

We have remarkable resilience and the ability to experience life in a balanced cycle.

I am a natural student of life and nature. That curiosity drew me to India, a country known as the mother of spiritually and natural stones. Experiencing and responding to nature is what keeps me grounded and inspires my creations.

Making jewelry is part of my Persian history.  My father was an engineer but lovingly designed my mother’s wedding jewelry. As a child when I was learning to draw, I loved to create jewelry on paper, cut it out and wear it.

Painting is something that has always come naturally to me. At six years of age, my painting of a running horse won a provincial award. I was invited to be part of a local painter’s group and began to have group and solo exhibits. After coming to India,  I was commissioned to create paintings for commercial properties.

India also rekindled my interest in jewelry making. Instead of drawing it on paper, India afforded me the opportunity to learn about an industry that has been a central part of this county for over 5,000 years. I have closely studied gemstones and learned the art of setting stones in various mediums.

The colours and shapes I see in my travels are reflected in the jewelry I design: the blues of the Mediterranean Sea, the pale yellows and oranges of the Lehbab desert in Dubai, the purples and pinks of a Cyprus sunset, the deep blue and brown sand of the Caspian Sea, the bright greens and blues of India’s peacocks.

Every design has a story

A fusion of Western and Asian culture, Parisa’s Design collections feature hand-crafted and expressive pieces that our clients have come to treasure.

n Persian culture, the waters of the lake and lagoon hold endless mysteries. The fish who swim in these waters are symbols of knowledge and wisdom.

Calmness, a sterling silver rhodium-plated pendant with 18” chain was created for POLKS Gallery (London, UK). The fish was painstakingly carved out of turquoise with diamonds inset for eyes and scales, mother of pearl for sea-grass, surrounded by navy-blue enamel to represent the water.

All Parisa’s Designs Collections feature bold shapes and genuine gemstones.
