Tarang and Manas "Our designs emphasize traditional Indian styles, and we endeavor to be known for making the best quality jewelry in India." "Hello! We are Tarang Gupta and Manas Arora, and our passion for jewelry design brought us together. We did a diploma course in 2003 in Jewelry Designing and Manufacturing at the Jewelry Product Development Center (JPDC), which is sponsored by India's Ministry of Commerce. Tarang graduated head of the class, and Manas specialized in crafting techniques. "Our designs emphasize traditional Indian styles, and we endeavor to be known for making the best quality jewelry in India. Most of our designs are handcrafted starting with melting the silver alloy, which is then drawn into a sheet. The sheet is then shaped into a bangle, hasli (choker), pendant etc. Designs are engraved with chisel and hammer before polishing the piece. "We now have a large collection of necklaces, earrings, pendants, rings, bracelets and bangles, which we have exhibited throughout New Delhi. As a result, we are being recognized for our fine handcrafted sterling silver and semi-precious gemstone jewelry. Our outstanding craftsmanship has been recognized, as well as the silversmiths that have teamed-up with us. "Now we are extremely happy to become a part of the Novica family, and for this opportunity to share our art with the rest of the world. We hope that you feel the same joy wearing our jewelry that we felt creating it."

	Customer Reviews
		I received my Tibetian Dragon bracelet today, and I am overwhelmed by the beauty and detail of this piece. With it I also received a hand written thank you from the artist for appreciating their work. I have been to Nepal and Tibet and I purchased a similar bracelet from the nomadic women in Tibet. Although it is not as grand or valuable as this piece it reflects the authenticity of the design of this bracelet. Thank you so much for such a divine piece of handwork. Sincerely - Joanna Kissell, Branford, CT USA Tranag and Manas, thank you so much for the absolutely stunning "Curls" bracelet that arrived yesterday. First was the lovely Indian thank you card and than the bracelet was contained in a beautiful ornate round jewelry box. But the bracelet is just gorgeous. So much work has gone into this wonderful piece that the picture does not do it justice. I look forward to purchasing more if your work. - JANE A, Hawaii I bought the chandelier earrings 'Silver Dancer' as it has a nice body shape akan the body of a dancer. The dangling tassels drop & shake gracefully in dancing movements. There're many minute round beads soldered to the smooth shiny surface around the earrings, forming nice patterns on it with burnished effects. It embraces the traditional Indian flavour which I wanted to match it with another traditional Indian necklace. It is a very striking pair of earrings. - Lorraine Lim, Singapore I ordered the "glorious dawn" earrings. They are absolutely incredible, they are so beautiful, words cannot explain. I'm so happy with them, the craftsmanship is excellent! - chress The Sterling silver cuff bracelet, 'Dragon Majesty' arrived yesterday and my wife almost cried because it was so beautiful. She hasn't taken it off since it arrived. I think she even worn it to bed. It's great to have access to such talented artist like yourselves. The detail on this piece is just amazing. Tarang and Manas let me say thank you, and please keep up the great work. Randall - Randall Hello, The "Lush Blossom" earrings I purchased are absolutely stunning.

Intricate floral designs add interest to the middle of the bracelet. I am impressed by the craftsmanship and delight in wearing something so distinctive. - Donna I love the Glorious Dawn earrings! They are a little heavy but the (slight) trade off in comfort is worth it. They are a stunning pair! Thank you. - Lanita Dear Tarang and Manas, My testimonial is a letter from my heart to both of you. It is an open one to share. I bought the Sterling silver cuff bracelet, "Tibetan Dragons". When I received it today I was speechless. I knew it was going to be beautiful and I never expected this. The pictures do not do it justice. It is SPECTACULAR! For beauty and originality 5 stars. The design is amazing. Such intricacy and so carefully worked. Such detail. For a large piece it fits beautifully and is surprisingly very comfortable. I bought this cuff as a gift to myself because according to "Tibetan lore, dragons thunder through the sky with the sound of compassion, awakening all from delusion and increasing knowledge through the sense of hearing. Dragons have the power of complete communication." In 1984 I lost over 85% of my hearing. I was a working actress and had to give up a successful career because at the time there was nothing available to me that could help me. I was isolated from the world that I had known. In January 2011 through the miracles of technology and investigative persistence my hearing has been restored almost 100%. I have returned to acting and I couldn't be happier. I have back my "power of complete communication" I shall gratefully thunder through the sky. This cuff is a reminder to me that I never gave up and because of my determination I can communicate once again through the sense of hearing. I encourage everyone not to give up and to reward yourself for whatever is "YOUR job well done" I thank NOVICA from the bottom of my heart for the family of artists brought into the light by the internet. I thank Tarang and Manas for such a work of art I shall treasure for the rest of my life. I wish you both love and happiness and tremendous artistic success. My Best, Kim - Kim The earrings you designed and made are so very beautiful. Exactly what I wanted. I wore them yesterday and when a friend saw them, she thought they were beautiful too! You are very talented artists, and I am so glad I found you and am so proud to wear something so unique and beautiful. Thank you so much. - MaryNelle Thank you for a beautiful pendant necklace, it is so nicely finished and comfortable to wear. I have worn it several times and always get compliments. I am truly delighted with it. It arrived very fast too, less then a week! - Carole.Geoghegan@nt.gov.au
