About Manjusha Jewels

Jyotsna “Joey” Singh started designing jewelry for herself, to fulfill a craving for jewelry unlike any other on the market. After a manufacturer asked her if she was designing with the intention to set up a small business, the seed was planted - and she felt excited by the idea of creating extraordinary jewelry for all women to wear. Thus, Manjusha by Jyotsna Singh was born. But her entry into jewelry was no accident. Joey is the granddaughter of Maharaja Bhupinder Singh of Patiala, who from 1900 to 1938 was the ruling Maharaja of Patiala, a self-governing princely state of British Empire in India. Well known for his love of opulent accessories, Bhupinder Singh befriended jeweler-to-the-kings Jacques Cartier and entrusted Cartier with creating exquisite pieces of jewelry using unmounted gemstones from the royal collection. Joey describes her jewelry as “fusion” for its blend of contemporary with slight eastern touch. Though there’s nothing decidedly “Indian” about her designs, each piece still captures some hallmarks of the culture - like the rich 22K gold and the rainbow of gemstone colors. Joey finds inspiration from many different sources, but the colors of nature and art move her deeply. If she’s inspired by a piece of art, she’ll imagine how beautiful the creation would look interpreted in gemstones. Read their story
