Masterminds of extortion scheme also framed Bollywood actress, many others, according to Mumbai Police
(from the Gemological Institute of America), who has designed a special line of one-of-a-kind series of precious gemstone collection under the label 'Simply Rocks'.
Originally a trained corporate financial analyst, Deepali Sawlani answered her true calling of creativity by turning to designing jewels.
"I think it would be truly unfair to say that "I" design my pieces. I look for extraordinary gemstones that I feel are unique — in structure (colour, cut and transparency) — and they pretty much design themselves. It's as if the gemstones talk to me and place themselves and colours they need to be surrounded with."
"I find designing is the most effortless part in creating my pieces," she said.
Deepali continues: "What I struggle with is execution; the actual manufacturing process. Today's jewellery business is all about mass producing and shortcuts. There is no originality of thought or design. But truly fine jewellery cannot be manufactured in express mode."
"It takes 'hands on approach'; loads of patience as I give close attention to details, and hence the training process of my staff is very strenuous," she explains.
When numbers meet style
"Affordability is important. All my pieces are exclusive as I work with a limited variety of gemstones, and to reach out to jewellery and gemstone connoisseurs with all kinds of budgets, I keep my margins quite tight."
So what turned this financial wizard into a designer? "Gemology is not just my career; it's a calling. I quit my lucrative job as co-portfolio manager at Dell Computer Corp. in Austin, Texas to pursue a career that I was truly passionate about. To ensure that I earned my credibility, I enrolled at the foremost authority in Gemology - The GIA- and got my certification of a 'Graduate Gemologist'.
