Shanker is a jewelry designer from India whose path to the craft began with a childhood fascination for his uncle’s work in the trade. Raised in a farming family, he was expected to follow tradition and work the land, yet his interest in design drew him in a different direction. After leaving farming, he began experimenting with sterling silver, establishing a small workshop where his dedication and creativity slowly took root. In the early years, he faced challenges, particularly in communities where gold was preferred for its value, yet his commitment to quality and originality set him apart. With the support of his uncle, Shanker moved his workshop to the city, allowing his designs to gain wider recognition. Today, his sterling silver jewelry is celebrated for its craftsmanship and artistry, showcased at exhibitions and appreciated by collectors around the world. For Shanker, each piece represents perseverance, tradition, and passion for his craft.
