It is deeply fulfilling to know that my work connects others to something greater than themselves, evoking meaningful emotions and supporting their spiritual paths.
"Hi friends, I am Sumit Dhawan from Meerut, a city in Uttar Pradesh, India. My friends often describe me as someone with... a deep passion for craftsmanship, an innovative mindset, and a dedicated learner.
"Designing and crafting jewelry with a spiritual touch began with a profound connection to spirituality that inspired me to explore the art of jewelry-making. Each piece I create is filled with intention and symbolism, reflecting both my artistic vision and the spiritual messages I wish to convey. Through meditation, I enhance my spiritual awareness, which deepens the meaning and purpose behind each of my creations.
"Embarking on my journey as a spiritual jewelry artisan has been a remarkable fusion of passion, dedication, and self-discovery. What started as a deep spiritual connection led me to experiment with different materials, hone my skills, and craft pieces that are rich in symbolism. Along the way, I faced challenges in sourcing ethically, marketing my work, and finding my unique voice in the art world. However, seeing the joy and spiritual resonance my jewelry brings to others has been incredibly rewarding, strengthening my commitment to blending artistry and spirituality.
"I studied various jewelry-making techniques, learning the fundamentals like metalworking, wire wrapping, beading, casting, and gemstone setting. I also explored the properties, meanings, and symbolism of materials such as gemstones and metals, specifically for spiritual jewelry. To deepen my understanding, I enrolled in online workshops focused on design, spirituality, and symbolism, while attending spiritual retreats to connect more deeply with the elements I wanted to incorporate into my work.
"The attraction to this craft began with a desire to create more than just beautiful pieces—I wanted to create something that held personal or collective significance. Crafting jewelry with spiritual elements is a meditative and transformative experience, allowing me to channel my beliefs, intentions, and positive energies into wearable art that can have a meaningful impact on the wearer’s spiritual journey and overall well-being.
"Starting my own jewelry workshop focused on spiritual healing was not without its challenges. I had to navigate obstacles such as marketing, pricing, strategy, and customer relations. Today, I’m proud to have a small team of three artisans who work with me at my home. We use gemstones known for their healing properties and work with metals like silver, copper, bronze, and surgical steel. Our artisans are not only skilled in the technical aspects of jewelry-making but also understand the spiritual meanings behind the symbols they create. Collaboration, attention to detail, and a passion for meaningful craftsmanship are essential qualities I look for in the artisans who help bring my designs to life.
"My inspiration comes from the vast cosmos of spirituality—from ancient symbols and sacred geometry to the natural world. Every element has the potential to inspire me. Personal introspection, meditative experiences, and my exploration of various spiritual traditions infuse my work with unique meaning. My own journey of inner growth and the healing energies of gemstones provide a continuous source of creativity.
"As a spiritual jewelry artisan, my favorite aspect of the craft is the profound connection between spirituality and creativity. Creating jewelry that is rich with spiritual meaning and symbolism allows me to offer a tangible representation of spiritual beliefs, energies, and intentions. It is deeply fulfilling to know that my work connects others to something greater than themselves, evoking meaningful emotions and supporting their spiritual paths.
"One of the most challenging aspects of this craft is balancing aesthetics with spiritual significance. Ensuring that each piece is not only visually appealing but also accurately conveys the intended spiritual message requires a deep understanding of spiritual symbols, beliefs, and practices. This intricate translation of spiritual concepts into beautiful, meaningful jewelry can be a delicate task.
"The most rewarding part of being a spiritual jewelry artisan is witnessing the positive impact my creations have on people. It is inspiring to see how the jewelry resonates with others on a spiritual level, helping them grow personally and reminding them of their beliefs and aspirations. Knowing that I am contributing to someone's spiritual journey makes the entire process incredibly fulfilling.
"My goal is to infuse my creations with spiritual essence and intention, offering wearers a deeper connection to their inner selves. I hope to touch lives with my work, promoting mindfulness, peace, and spiritual growth through the jewelry I create.
"My dream is to build a brand that is synonymous with spiritual jewelry—known for its authenticity, craftsmanship, and transformative energy. I envision a global community that appreciates and resonates with my creations, fostering a sense of spiritual unity and empowerment.
"Additionally, I hope to collaborate with like-minded artisans, creating a collective energy that will elevate the spiritual jewelry movement to new heights.
"Spiritual jewelry serves as a symbol of hope and comfort for our community. When we wear these special pieces, we feel a sense of calmness and happiness. They remind us to be kind and loving to one another and inspire us to be our best selves every day. Supporting local artisans and businesses by buying or making spiritual jewelry helps strengthen our neighborhood, creating a beautiful circle of support and positivity. To stay connected with the community, I engage with other spiritual jewelry artisans, participate in forums, attend events, and build a network that encourages growth and knowledge-sharing.
"I am grateful to Novica for providing a platform where I can share my collection with the world. I am hopeful that Novica's customers will appreciate the love and intention behind my work."
