From an early age, I crocheted my lace and beaded my necklace. Growing up in a conservative family in India, I tussled to make and maintain a career. Silently inspiring me were the women in my family, who worked tirelessly without expectations for themselves. I knew I had to break the mold. With a textile design background and a passion for jewelry, I launched my artisan jewelry brand, Tinted Teal. 

I have always been enamored by the rich and diverse cultural heritage of India- its textiles, crafts, and the skilled craftsmen who weave, dye, print, embroider or carve so meticulously and artistically. Moving to the U.S. brought me closer at heart to my roots and the desire to do something that would help support the artisans back home.

I believe that "imperfections add beauty to things and take them to an unsurpassed level of perfection." The amalgamation of the imperfectly handcrafted with unique characteristic irregularities and the modern, so technologically accurate, is beyond any level of perfection to me.

We stand for innovation in design, expertly crafted high-quality products, and superior customer service. We believe that quality should never be a compromise and pledge our continued support to our rural and women artisans.
