Goshwara’s Colorful Designs

110 carat mandarin garnet mounted on 18k yellow gold.

Jewelry designers and manufacturers have been adding color to their collections in recent years. For Goshwara, color, more specifically colored gemstones, is a way of life for the brand.

The company was founded by Sweta Jain, who has the joint roles of designer and president, in 2007 to supply one-of-a-kind pieces to private buyers. Since then the company has expended to provide a range of colored-gemstone jewelry for luxury retailers. Jain grew up in the jewelry business, accompanying her father to Africa to explore mines and then seeing the process first-hand of turning rough material in beautiful gemstones.

I first wrote about the company last year at the JCK Luxury tradeshow. At this year’s show (May 29 – 31), Jain showed me a number of new designs that highlight her flair for great vision, craftsmanship and the use of high-quality colored gemstones.
