Mystery has always been one of my greatest muses. I think for the curious and creative, there’s a certain thrill in the unknown and I take pleasure every time I brush up against the limits of what I understand.
I’ve always believed that there are great secrets hidden beyond our known world, that there are powerful messages just beneath the surface of our reality And as an alchemist, I’ve embraced the idea thoroughly
Every piece of jewelry I design is meant to commune with the mysteries that are all around us To spark wonder, to feel like a discovery To be something you don’t fully understand but can’t stop thinking about
Mystery invites us to look deeper, to chase meaning, and to fall in love with something before we can fully articulate.
And for me, that’s exactly what art should be and what life can be, if we let it It’s not a search for certainty, but a quest for beauty just out of reach
CONTEMPLATIONS OF THE MONTH
WHERE LEGACY BECOMES LOVE
fall Is the busiest time of the year for me As I get ready to set out across the country and around the world! reconnecting with our private clients, family of retailers, and industry friends (I truly can’t wait to see you all), I’m trying to slow down and savor the moments I have at home.
To soak in cooking dinner with my boys and hearing what they got up to at school that day To linger just a little longer with the people I love most To not rush through the things I love doing, whether it be playing a round of golf, reading a book, or sipping a glass of wine with my wife Ashita
It's in those moments, which can be few and far between for me during this whirlwind season, that I recharge It’s when I reconnect with my passion and, if I’m lucky, capture sparks of inspiration that will turn into future designs
Tanzanite
TANZANITE:
BORN OF FIRE - SHAPED BY VISION
Tanzanite’s story begins at the base of Mount Kilimanjaro, where lightningscorched earth once revealed an unexpected treasure. Discovered by Maasai herders in 1967, this gem emerged from the heat-transformed soil in a blaze of violetblue, its origin a reminder that beauty often follows rupture Trichroic in nature, Tanzanite carries three faces deep blue, royal purple, and a trace of its raw brown ancestry inviting the viewer to shift perspective, to see beyond what first meets the eye
Tanzanite’s allure is not simply for its color, but for its metaphysical echo. This is a stone of becoming of evolution under pressure. Its ability to shift and reveal different truths from different angles mirrors the philosophy behind his work: that transformation is not only possible, but essential Every Tanzanite chosen is not an ornament, but an emblem of inner and outer change
The stone’s spiritual associations linked to the third eye, intuition, and awakening align with a design ethos that values unseen forces and deeper resonance. And in honoring the Maasai land and lore from which it comes, Arun quietly acknowledges the cultural pulse embedded in every facet
In Tanzanite, history, earth, and imagination meet made visible through the hand of the jeweler
TANZANITE BANGLE A PORTAL TO INNER VISION
Rooted in myth and mysticism, the Tanzanite Bangle becomes a portal between inner vision and outer reality Drawing from Hindu and Buddhist traditions, it echoes the symbolic third eye seat of wisdom, clarity, and spiritual awakening while conjuring the surrealist gaze of Magritte’s “The False Mirror,” where the eye becomes both witness and mirror to the soul The bangle transcends adornment, becoming an emblem of perception and selfreckoning. Its oceanic hues evoke the depths of the subconscious and the unknowable mysteries of nature Like the sea, it invites introspection, reminding us that most of our truths lie beneath the surface Both the wearer and the observer are drawn into this quiet alchemy, where enlightenment, creativity, and cosmic curiosity converge In this piece, art, mythology, and the unseen intersect, offering not just beauty but vision
Diamond
DIAMOND: THE UNBROKEN FLAME
Diamond is forged in the earth’s mantle, under conditions so extreme that only the rarest elements endure What emerges is not simply hardness or brilliance, but a paradox: permanence born of pressure, clarity carved from chaos Its fire is precise, yet impossible to contain. Across cultures and centuries, diamond has stood as a symbol of purity, strength, and the unbreakable yet it remains elusive, always shifting in meaning with the one who wears it
Unlike the conventional use of diamonds to denote luxury or tradition, Arun approaches the stone as raw potential He sees in it a source of tension a material that begs to be reinterpreted Suspended in titanium or sliced against the grain, the diamond becomes part of a new geometry, an altered truth.
It’s this friction between permanence and possibility that compels him The diamond is not treated as an end point, but as the beginning of an alchemical experiment: a spark from which new forms emerge
Through this lens, diamond is less a jewel and more a force It becomes a tool to question expectations, reframe tradition, and distill meaning through contrast It doesn’t merely endure It provokes
LIGHTNING IN A SQUARE EARRINGS
WHITE GOLD AND PAVE DIAMONDS
Diamonds, once believed to be shards of fallen stars, have long carried the mythology of the cosmos within them. In ancient texts, they were said to be tears of the gods indestructible, eternal, and forged in divine fire These earrings summon that celestial legacy, where each stone becomes a flash of insight, a bolt of revelation The white gold, brushed like a quiet sky before the storm, holds the tension between control and chaos.
In art, lightning is a symbol of sudden clarity Zeus’ weapon, Shiva’s awakening It splits darkness with truth, momentary yet unforgettable The structure of the piece echoes this duality: geometric precision tempered by elemental force. Suspended between forms, the diamonds glimmer like the eye of a storm calm at the center, wild at the edges
They whisper of Lucy, the diamond star pulsing in the Milky Way. A reminder that what we wear can connect us to what we cannot hold eternity, energy, and the electric heart of the universe
ENIGMA DIAMOND BAGUETTE BANGLE:
A LANGUAGE OF LIGHT
In ancient Mesopotamia, cuneiform script was etched into clay linear, deliberate, eternal The baguette diamonds in this bangle recall that same sacred geometry: a language of light, inscribed not in words, but in rhythm and form Each facet becomes a syllable, each glint a whispered truth, quietly embedded into brushed white gold This is adornment as architecture sleek, silent, enduring
Minimalism here is not absence, but intent In Japanese aesthetics, shibui defines beauty in restraint where meaning deepens with time, not spectacle Like Agnes Martin’s grid paintings or Donald Judd’s serial forms, the repetition becomes meditative, a visual mantra.
This bangle does not shout It listens It holds space It is the clarity found in a temple’s empty chamber, the hush before revelation A vessel for inner vision, it honors that rare woman who does not seek attention, but commands it through her stillness her strength encoded in quiet, exquisite symmetry
Silver Moonstone
SILVER MOONSTONE:
THE ALCHEMY OF LIGHT AND SHADOW
Silver moonstone is a stone of quiet power ancient, luminous, and steeped in symbolism Once believed by the Greeks and Romans to be solidified moonlight, it has long been linked to intuition, emotional balance, and feminine energy. In India, it is considered sacred, a talisman for travelers and lovers alike, offering protection and serenity. Its adularescence a soft, inner glow that moves with the light has made it a gem of poets, mystics, and dreamers, echoing the cyclical wisdom of the moon itself
There’s an elemental stillness to silver moonstone It doesn’t dazzle; it reveals Its sheen recalls the gentle glimmer of water under moonlight, or the faded brushstrokes of a twilight sky in a Turner painting. Worn close to the skin, it becomes more than adornment it becomes a companion in introspection, a quiet oracle for those who seek meaning beneath the surface
In the hands of the maker, silver moonstone becomes a conduit for mystery Its presence in a piece is intentional chosen for its ability to hold space for the unseen It speaks not of spectacle, but of resonance Of stillness with depth For those who listen closely, it tells a story not loud, but lasting A whisper that lingers, like the moon’s reflection on water.
SILVER MOONSTONE RING
A GEM OF CELESTIAL MEMORY
Silver Moonstone has long been shrouded in myth and moonlight. In ancient Roman and Greek lore, it was believed to be formed from solidified moonbeams an earthly fragment of the divine feminine Revered as a talisman of intuition, protection, and transformation, moonstone was said to awaken inner vision and illuminate the hidden paths of the soul. In India, its presence is rarer still emerging like a seasonal secret, unearthed between monsoon cycles, a dance between earth’s patience and nature’s mystery
Its silvery adularescence evokes the moon’s quiet pull on tides and dreams, while in art, its glow recalls the nocturnes of Whistler or the celestial geometry of Hilma af Klint works that speak to the unseen forces shaping our inner worlds Framed by a constellation of diamonds, moonstone becomes more than a gem; it becomes an invitation to stillness, to wonder, and to the eternal rhythms of light that guide us from within
