Crazy for Coomi
Filed in archive Fine Jewelry by Victoria Tillotson on December 1, 2007
One of our readers wrote in asking for information about a wonderful designer named Coomi Bhasin whose work recently appeared in InStyle. So I just had to check her out. Wow! Rings are my thing, so when I caught a glimpse of the gold and mine-cut diamond dazzler above, I knew I had to find out more, too!
Coomi Bhasin, raised in India, describes herself as a "Renaissance woman," and I couldn't agree more. Before launching her eponymous
gold and diamond line in 2002, she was a textile designer, architect and landscape designer. Influenced by such diverse things as architecture and organic forms, Coomi notes: "I fell in love with every aspect of gold, gemstones, texture and color - whose richness influenced and surrounded my life. I realized these ingredients were my brush, palette and canvas - to express emotion, convey spirit, and create tangible beauty". Her ring above fully captures this belief: it's aptly named "Sanctuary" from her Eternity line., and conveys a sense of serene, yet bold, style.I was also drawn to these "Multi Paisley" earrings from her Vitality line:
In addition to her fantastic style and the beautiful workmanship of her jewelry, I just love the fact that Coomi is a mature designer who's truly "worn many hats" in her lifetime. As a fellow designer with an equally long and eclectic past, I find this inspiring and uplifting. It's a wonderful testament to the power of creative thinking and a vital outlook on life.
