The Artistic Expressions Of Riddhi Doshi

A strong in-built design sense combined with a lineage of Palanpuri community diamond dealers proved to be fortuitous for Riddhi Doshi, a Mumbai-based jewellery designer, who has been steadfastly making a name for herself in the bespoke jewellery segment.

Blessed with an affable demeanour, Riddhi loves her profession as much as she loves to look after her husband and her two young children. A jewellery designer par excellence, Riddhi also devotes time to scuba-diving, dancing, and travelling.

Her bejewelled, diamond-studded creations blend the magic of quintessentially vintage style and modern-day glamour. Each individual, she believes, is unique and so, she creates a special piece for every special client.

The secret of her success in running an eponymous jewellery brand since the last ten years lies in hard work, passion towards her craft, nurturing clients and creating timeless works of art that they can cherish for life.

When I reached ace jewellery designer Riddhi Doshi’s plush office-cum-residence at her Nepean Sea Road apartment in Mumbai, I was told that Riddhi was just wrapping up her kathak dance class with her private tutor.

I was ushered into a tastefully done up office that was bathed in grey overtones – the richly upholstered sofas, a large grey desk, a glass cupboard for showcasing jewellery, and a side wall adorned with posters of models wearing her jewellery. (I learnt later that the interiors were designed by her.)

Five minutes later, Riddhi entered the room, greeted me warmly and we settled down for the interview without any further delay. Conversing with her felt like we had known each other for many years – her demeanour is friendly and she instantly makes you feel comfortable. For a designer who specialises in the bespoke genre, it’s a prerequisite characteristic.

A multi-tasker, Riddhi balances the act of being a hands-on parent and a jewellery designer. She also squeezes in time for learning various forms of dance, travelling and scuba-diving.

Just as she is fiercely protective of her two children, Saira and Nirvaan, she is equally vigilant about the craftsmanship and quality of her jewellery.
