Asha Patel Designs began as a hobby for jewelry designer Asha Patel. She had an affinity for Indian jewels with symmetry that she saw growing up with her Indian parents while in London. She became interested in arts and crafts after her mother taught her to sew. With Patel's interest and love for jewels, Asha Patel Designs was born. After moving to Atlanta, the pharmacist turned jewelry designer began her journey of creating bold pieces that aim to create balance in your life.
First selling to friends and family, she grew into a brand with an online presence and celebrities and influencer clients. A favorite amongst yogis, Patel's jewelry includes many powerful gemstones and symbols that promote everything from patience to wisdom. For example, moonstone promotes friendship and loyalty while citrine brings luck and abundance. Every piece of jewelry has a special meaning and is symbolic. Asha Patel Designs creates quality rings, necklaces, earrings and bracelets from $28 to over $300.
With Asha Patel Designs' vast collection, you will see familiar symbols from all over the world in each piece of jewelry. "The line is a reflection of my background; Eastern heritage coupled with Western influence," said Patel. From the hamsa to the heart, symbols from all over the world are sprinkled into Asha Patel Designs jewelry. The Mighty Mini Necklace is a best seller which is a gold-plated chain with a single stone. This is available in various gems like rose quartz to heal emotional wounds or lapiz lazuli which releases stress.
No matter what the symbol, positive energy is the end goal. Gemstones, symbols, numbers and japa malas all provide a symbolic meaning and are incorporated into Asha Patel Designs. Labradorite, topaz, amethyst, and more are among the gems. Incorporating numbers into the jewelry stems from numerology. Japa Malas are used for meditation and praying purposes to provide clarity. Patel uses gold-plated brass, sterling silver, natural leather and cotton as the base of each piece.
It's no wonder why the yoga community loves jewelry by Asha Patel Designs. Creating positive energy is very important for the yoga spirit, and her jewelry aims to take you to that carefree space. Let's not forget the fact that her jewelry is also fashionable. Even though Asha Patel Designs pieces create positive energy, a good looking piece of jewelry is a plus. It's the best of both worlds.
With a long lineup of available jewelry, Patel lets the process tell her when to release new items. Her designs are available in multiple gemstones and symbols, so you can pick the one that best represents you. Do you want a piece that promotes strong health or a piece that inspires creativity? Whatever your desires, there is a piece for you.
