Hema "I learned the art from my father. He is a wonderful artist and does his work with great grace and detail." "Hello, I am Hema and I was born and brought up in Delhi, the captivating capital of India. I was always enchanted by the unique and endless beauty of Indian handicrafts. Being the capital of the country, Delhi does not concentrate on just one form of art but offers a whole lot more. From the ancient beauty of Mughal art, the exotic crafts from the hills or the traditional art of central India, it is always fascinating. "My family also has a long lineage of silver crafting. For the last four decades, my family has created silver jewelry. It was all initiated at home, so I knew the basic technique. But I never actually got into it until I graduated. "I learned the art from my father. He is a wonderful artist and does his work with great grace and detail. We use silver and gemstones to create our designs. Along with me, some of my family members are involved in carrying on this tradition. I always like to keep busy so I am constantly working on something new. "Our designs are contemporary but they match the taste of old and young alike. I am always excited to see something new and, when people appreciate our effort, it gives me even more joy."

		I just received the onyx necklace "midnight visions" and the onyx is beautiful. It's one of the largest pieces of onyx I have seen, and the way it's set really shows off the beauty of the stone.

Thank you Hema and Novica. - P B, Eugene, OR, USA Her Aura of Life necklace was even more dazzling than expected. Amazing craftsmanship - C V, MA/US I just received my Teardrop ring and it is gorgeous!!! I am so excited. Topaz is my birthstone and this is the first piece of jewelry that I have bought that contains it! I feel a healing power in this ring. Thank you for designing this ring "for me". The instant I saw it on the Novica site I knew it was made for me. God bless and keep you. - Ellen Schneider, Chicago, IL USA I received the garnet earrings in a very short time. Thank you! - daniela gosselink, Canada I purchased Hema's "Current" amethyst bracelet as a high school graduation gift. It is beautiful - both classic and modern simultaneously. The gift recipient will be returning to Germany this summer after 7 years in the US. I'm sure this bracelet will be a treasured reminder of time spent here - the purple stones represent her high school color. I will watch Hema's work in the future, since I had to go halfway around the world to find the perfect reminder of a stay in the US! - Laura Lohrmann, Norcross, GA USA The citrine bracelet is so beautiful! your art is spectacular. thank you - Alicia Bonnett, USA Dear Hema, I would like to thank you very much for my bracelet "current". It is slight, simple, yet totally beautiful! More lovely in real life! And the amethysts of a rich, deep colour - it will be much cherished. And thank you for your postcard with the Safdarjung tomb, I'm specializing in music from that period, so that was interesting. Love from Erika - Erika The peridot and silver Hema earrings I ordered to wear at my daughter's wedding surpassed my expectations. The online photo was eye-catching, but the earrings themselves - and the unexpected and lovely presentation box they arrived in - were exquisite! Excellent quality. I look forward to making more purchases designed by Hema! - Anne I absolutely love the design and quality of the amethyst necklace "Mystical Butterflies" that I purchased, and so does my young daughter. I also greatly appreciate the written postcard from the artist that arrived with the necklace. - Renee
