Introducing herself as a naturalist and a bohemian soul before a jewellery designer, Bhavya Ramesh has studied the roots of her culture to develop a modern version of nail rings. What sets her nail accessories apart is that each one is influenced by banjara (gypsy) culture. She gives ample importance to nails as a jewellery designer and whips up styles that are eclectic, unique and OTT. They are also handcrafted by skilled artisans using recycled silver in the heart of Rajasthan, aka Jaipur – the city bustling with art and culture.
