These 'Lilac Loop' by Independent Artisans are a captivating and imaginative pair of dangle earrings designed by India's Rakesh Rana. A hollow sterling silver hoop holds an oval-shaped amethyst gemstone, set in a shimmering bezel setting. The design is further enhanced by intricate sterling silver swirls and delicate dot work, which trim the outer edge of the hoop. This piece combines tribal, traditional, and contemporary aesthetics, creating a unique accessory that adds a touch of sophistication to any look.
Born in Himachal Pradesh in 1979, this artisan’s journey into jewelry began after leaving behind a career in engineering and IT. Drawn to traditional crafts since childhood, he first immersed himself in Kashmiri carpet weaving before relocating to Jaipur, where friends introduced him to the world of silver jewelry. There, he spent years observing and learning from master artisans before establishing his own workshop in 2016. With a team of eight assistants, his wife, and his brother, he creates sterling silver jewelry adorned with precious gemstones, blending tribal, traditional, and contemporary aesthetics. His process combines classic techniques like melting, wirework, and beading with innovative design, always attentive to evolving trends and client tastes. Beyond artistry, his workshop provides stable employment for local artisans, helping families secure education and livelihoods. Each piece is a reflection of dedication, cultural richness, and the timeless beauty of handcrafted jewelry.
These earrings are crafted from 925 sterling silver and amethyst with a combination finish. They feature hook earrings and measure 1.5 inches long by 0.9 inches wide by 0.3 inches deep.
