Jaipur based Sunayana Jain, designer from Adore Jewels is known for her signature silver and gold plated jewels and 18-carat jewellery. Always an artist, many of the gemstones she uses in her designs are her finds from the gem shows throughout the world. Her collections are made from both raw and cut stones along with a lot of sapphires, emeralds, rubies, yellow sapphire, turquoise, amethyst and many more. She works with diamonds, but the colourful stones are the stars of her jewellery. She believes creativity matters in designing jewels as they sell even in toughest of markets; Kunjal Karaniya traces her life story.%% Sikhne ke liye yun to, sari umar kam hoti hai$$ Par kabhie ek lamha hi, bahut kuch sikha jata hai$$ Main shukragujaar hoon unn sab ki$$ Jinhone mujhe jivan main, wo lamhe diye hai$$ Main jo bhi hoon Aaj, unhi ki badaulat hoon$$ Khuda Apne mujhe bahut hi, kabiil Guru diye hai%% Above mentioned are few lines written by Sunayana Jain and with this she starts the conversation while sharing her inspiration in life. “My inspiration comes from the highest source of creation. It is this creative energy that takes form in the pieces I design. I am deeply indebted to a person in my life that gave me the confidence to create such a line. It was at his suggestion that I expanded this vision and none of this would have been possible if it were not for the superb intricate and dedicated workmanship of the craftsmen of Jaipur. They are responsible for converting my vision into reality and for that I am deeply grateful.” She is in this jewellery industry since last 16 years and modern hand-made jewellery is her forte from last numerous years. But when it comes to the mythology collection, Vijay Golecha from Golecha Jewels is her inspiration. “Around two years ago I met Vijay Golecha and during that period, he inspired me to work on mythology.” When quizzed what is the most difficult aspect of the jewellery creation process, she shares, “The most difficult aspect has been the use of consistent and intricate craftsmanship by using hand tools.”%% It is not just creativity, that paves a way for a designer but it is the vision to bring life into a story and create pieces that tell a tale. The same theory applies to Jain’s foray into the field of jewellery design. “I was extremely fortunate to work with Amrapali for several years. I learnt everything there. It helped me develop my love for design and it nurtured my creativity.” Talking further about her past life and education, she shares, “I attended a very humble Hindi medium school called Veer Balika on a 12 years scholarship, because we could not afford to pay. The experiences of those early days have made me who I am, a confidant woman with deep faith in myself and the Divine force.” %%

Coming to awards, achievements, she humbly corresponds, “My achievement is my confidence and my award is my company Adore.” Sharing an interesting incident from her early career that made her strong both as a designer and person, she says, “When a proposal of marriage was refused because I was not accomplished enough as a suitable partner for a chartered accountant, it caused me great anguish. I was determined that I would make something of myself. It is what propelled me towards my dreams.” %% She then, talks about her recent collection that she worked on from conception to final creation, “My most recent collection is inspired from my love of mythology. I use old tribal silver jewellery. I believe old is forever gold.” Over the years, her learning from the industry is note worthy, “I learnt that no piece of work is useless. There is a place for everything and you can create a masterpiece from what the most basic things you have.” When asked what kind of woman would wear her creation, she replies, “She is the one who knows her power, her reality. Yet she is feminine and compassionate. These pieces heighten her confidence and faith in herself. She is a celebration of the divine feminine.” Coming to her personal style, she articulates, “ I love to wear a sari, because it is feminine and graceful and I like to adorn it with jewellery that has detailed workmanship. I think my jewellery would look very impactful on a traditional beauty like Rekha.” The feeling must be elating when someone wears your creation, “I am grateful that people appreciate what I do because there is love and passion in every piece I create.” %% Her hobby runs around the jewellery field too as she shares that she collects old tribal silver jewellery. “I never know what pieces I am going to find. I love to put those together in different ways with unique workmanship.” She loves to work in Silver and the stones that most inspire her are sapphires and aquamarine. “Just the combination of colours invokes my creativity.” She has yet another artistic hobby. “I feel inspired to write poetry. That is a special time in my day, when the words just flow. I also love Sufi music.” Talking about her typical work day, she shares, “I am involved with the craftsmen, the customers, designing jewellery and chasing production. It is a busy day.” %% What’s next on the workbench for her was our next question to her. “I am working on several pieces. Each of my piece has a subject and a message and I am using designs in a technique that have never been used before.” She is creating a piece of jewellery for Shankar Mahadevan. On this she says, “I cannot say much about it except that the subject incorporates a lot of intricate work with musical instruments. I am very inspired because I have great regard for him.” Her favourite jewellery designer is Vijay Golecha from India and Miss Pippa small from London. %% Advising the aspiring designers, she says, “Believe in yourself. Do not give up your vision. A day will come when after learning from your mistakes; you will be recognised for the unique work that you do as a designer. It is important to remember that no effort goes to waste.” When asked where she sees herself in the next five years from now, she says, “Five years is a long time. I am changing every day and my experiences impact my design and creation. My creation will evolve as I am evolving.” %%
