zoya + faruk
Our design keeps the classic shape yet with a bohemian undertone. Probably it’s true that the designer has the reflection of self in his design, me being a wanderer who splits the year between home and work related travels. Each piece of mine- echo my bohemian self wrapped under my hijab. With ever-changing and swift fashion industry we like to make jewelry which is keep-sake. We create high quality perfect accessories, created by intricate ethnic knowhow amalgamated in contemporary thoughts; it oscillates between uber chic and desi wanderlust and sometime a subtle boho-statement in all so “rational” world. Dainty to chunky, we are not bashful in terms of experimenting with shapes and size.
I experiment with diverse range of semi-precious natural gems -rose quartz, druzy agate, ammonite, orthoceras fossil, jasper, carnelian, lapis lazuli, pearl, peridot, smoky quartz encrusted in 18k gold plated brass, 925 sterling silver, rose gold plated / antique silver plated brass. Semiprecious gems is our USP . Gems lapidary wholesale company SG (stonegalaxy) which my husband runs – I diversified it to a jewelry unit with the help of dedicated craftmen from Bengal.
Its named “The Silver Lining” as is a ray of hope for both of us since we started 6 years ago , market in recession , Faruk back from Dubai ,Me on a two year sabbatical from my prolific career in International art events. We risked our nest egg in starting a jewelry unit which is now established and growing in Howrah, humble unit with 9 employees. We are passionate and perfection driven duo, Faruk’s knowledge and interest in gemstone is infectious and hence his passion has been the core of the company.
I am an Art historian and critic, studied from Faculty of Fine Arts, Baroda and have 7+ years of experience in Event industry (specializing in Art and Luxury brands), heading international projects such as SouthAsia’s Contemporary Art Fair in India since 2009.I like to believe my design cater to the contemporary, young and denying to grow old cosmos of women. I am an avid reader and sucker for history and antiquity. I like the mystique of natural stone and the process of finding a raw to polishing a gem out of it.
Alhumdulillah!!! Shukran
