Krishna Choudhary of Santi

Krishna Choudhary is hardly a newcomer to jewellery. Part of a family that boasts 10 generations of jewellers – as well as a centuries-long history of supplying India’s royal maharajahs with bijoux – he was born into this world.

His father, Santi Choudhary, is the founder of Royal Gems & Arts in Jaipur, one of the most exclusive jewellery houses in the country. But in 2019, the son decided to venture out on his own under the label Santi, named after his father, to craft exceptional designs at an output of just 12 to 15 pieces a year. While buzz has been quietly building ever since, his first major private selling exhibition post-pandemic was held in September, giving prospective clients the opportunity to get their hands on his latest full collection in-person.
