She works with Indian artisans, who craft the sterling silver pendant in the shape of a skeleton's hand.About our Artist: Hello, my name is Arunima and I come from a small town in Bihar. My association with gems and jewels stems from hood. My uncles are in the gemstone trade, and I remember being mesmerized by the gem colors and playing with them. I love the colors of a gemstone, and the way they refract light. I went to a boarding school in Jaipur, which was founded by the queen of Jaipur herself. That's where my interest for gemstones intensified – everyone wore such lovely jewelry! After finishing high school I studied jewelry design and manufacturing for two years at JDTI (Jewelry Design and Technology Institute), design concepts at NIFT (National Institute of Fashion Technology) Delhi, and gemology at the Indian Institute of Gemology in Delhi. I also did my bachelors in Philosophy at Delhi University. My interest became my passion, and finally I gave up a very well paying job to pursue my passion (this, I believe was one of the hardest decisions I ever took). I set up my own design and manufacturing operation. It sounds very fancy, but in the early days I had no money and started with a small loan. I've learned a lot along the way, and wouldn't change that decision, but it hasn't been easy. Too many people are ready to dismiss you when you are young, especially if you are someone who was focused on a particular design language and approach to jewelry. I have to say, it's worked out for me in the long run. It's been tough, but I have learned a lot...
