Vaibhav
My passion for jewellery started at an early age watching my father and grandfather working in our family business. Growing up in Jaipur I experienced all aspects of the gems trade. I was fascinated by their vibrant colours and quickly learned how they were sourced. My father encouraged me to understand our business as I recall going to our showroom understanding the importance of jewellery in our cultural traditions. The many styles of craftsmanship displayed in our showroom inspired me to learn how each piece was made. From the traditional Karigar workmanship to the mining, cutting and polishing of gems I saw how unique articles of jewellery were created.
I’ve always known that jewellery was in my blood so after my education I went to Mumbai to train in the diamond business. Shortly after I was sorting diamonds, learning to identify quality and consistencyIn further search for knowledge I went to California to acquire my GIA and was exposed to new techniques in manufacturing and design. Returning to Jaipur with a new perspective I launched Sarraff Jewel in 2017. My business allowed me to travel the world exhibiting at various trade shows while meeting extraordinary people. This allowed me to get a pulse and adapt to the latest trends in manufacturing.
