The
standards
are
set;
the
bar
is
high:
it
is
a
lot
to
live
up
to,
yet
somehow,
Meit
Kamdar
Avlanii
manages
to
exceed
expectations
every
time.
Which
begs
the
question,
who
is
the
man
behind
such
a
spectacular
jewelry
label?
It
is
time
to
meet
Meit
Kamdar
Avlanii,
the
creator
of
exclusive
luxury
jewelry
–
where
fashion
meets
functionality.

The
31-year-old
designer
fell
head-over-heels
in
love
with
precious
stones
when
he
first
laid
eyes
on
them
as
a
kid.
A
rendezvous
that
continued
well
into
his
young
adult
years
blossomed
into
Meit
Kamdar
Avlanii’s
full-time
career.
Someone
who
had
once
fallen
in
love
with
the
dazzle
of
luxury
is
now
pioneering
an
industry
full
of
it.
Based
out
of
India’s
financial
capital
Mumbai,
Meit
runs
a
mega-successful
business
of
precious
stone
jewelry.

Meit
Kamdar
Avlanii’s
talent
and
natural
artistry
might
be
bestowed
upon
him,
but
his
masterful
techniques
are
learned
skills.
The
expert
undertook
professional
training
in
jewelry
making
at
the
Gemological
Institute
of
America.
To
sharpen
his
skills
even
further,
he
later
joined
the
Indian
Academy
of
Jewelry
and
Design.
There,
he
studied
Manual
Design
and
CAD
(Computer-aided
Design),
which
have
helped
him
come
up
with
complex
works
of
art.

This
Valentine,
let
your
love
sparkle
via
Jewelegance’s
breathtaking
jewelry
pieces

On
what
inspires
him
and
his
work,
Meit
Kamdar
Avlanii
said,
“I
am
a
naturally
curious
person.
I
find
sources
of
inspiration
everywhere
–
from
the
little,
inconspicuous
details
in
nature
to
the
opulence
of
luxury.
Inspiration
doesn’t
always
have
to
come
to
you
in
a
life-changing
epiphany.
Unlike
what
most
people
believe,
it
comes
in
small
doses
at
unexpected
times.
It
is
important
to
register
and
capture
the
moment
when
it
hits,
and
later,
bring
that
vision
to
life.”

While
his
creations
give
a
subtle
nod
to
his
rich
heritage,
they’re
most
certainly
not
lacking
in
the
creative
department.
His
designs
walk
the
fine
line
between
classic
and
modern,
giving,
as
one
connoisseur
puts
it
best,
“the
best
of
both
fashionable
worlds.”
Growing
up,
Meit
Kamdar
Avlanii
admired
fancy
emerald
jewelry,
hypnotized
by
its
flawless
movement
and
vintage
cuts.
When
he
took
to
the
board,
he
gave
those
designs
a
modern
twist
–
a
breathtaking
fusion
that
only
enhanced
their
beauty.

That’s
another
riveting
detail
about
Meit
Kamdar
Avlanii
–
while
his
competition
plays
around
with
diamonds,
he
has
taken
to
emerald,
a
jewel
commonly
overlooked
yet
just
as
dazzling.
“From
its
rich
color
to
the
molecular
structure,
it’s
hard
to
find
another
rare
collectible
as
invaluable
as
emerald,”
explains
Meit
Kamdar
Avlanii.

The
House
of
Meit
Kamdar
Avlanii
opened
its
doors
to
customers
in
2019.
But
his
business
is
unlike
any
other
–
there
are
many
pieces
he
so
painstakingly
creates
that
aren’t
for
sale.
“I
believe
in
the
beauty
of
creation,
not
commercialization,”
concludes
Meit
Kamdar
Avlanii.
