Collections like the Sunrise and Sunset Ring—which won the Critics’ Choice Award by Gemporia—illustrate how jewellery can embody philosophy, time, and personal expression.
Using traditional Indian craftsmanship techniques such as meenakari, filigree, and temple art, Surana reinterprets classical forms through a contemporary lens. Each creation speaks to a generation seeking luxury with deeper meaning and cultural identity.
