Ruchi New York x Marissa Collections
February 20 - February 22 @ 10 am - 6 pm
New York designer Ruchi Kotahwala’s passion for gemstones and jewelry began as a young girl growing up in Mumbai, India, where colorful and lively jewels are part of everyday life and celebrations. “Holding and gazing into a beautiful gemstone is magical and mesmerizing,” says Ruchi, who believes in the positive energy of exceptional jewels. Both a dreamer and entrepreneur, Ruchi began designing jewelry at age 16 and enriched her skills with a design degree from the Gemological Institute of America in Carlsbad, California. She transformed her passion into a business with her husband, a fifth-generation gemstone authority from Jaipur. The family’s historic gem business gave Ruchi access to some of the world’s most remarkable and exotic stones, the foundation for the Ruchi New York collection launched in 2018.
Ruchi’s creative spirit is fueled by her innate curiosity and love of travel and nature. Rather than adhere to a singular style, the designer plays with colorful gems and diamonds painterly, creating a range of styles and themes as diverse as her clientele. A family trip to California’s Anza Borrego Desert State Park inspired dreamy floral jewels in a rainbow of pastel-colored gems, and a visit to the tropical rainforest gave way to vibrant and fluid emerald and ruby designs. Ruchi continuously explores and creates new ways to portray precious stones in stylish designs that allow women to express their individuality and tell their stories.
