Once, my father asked me to get a piece of jewellery made within a given&nbsp;budget. I had something particular in mind, but our family jeweller couldn\u2019t&nbsp;understand what I wanted. He thrust a catalogue full of jewellery products, and asked me to pick a design from the existing collection only. Customisation of jewellery was not in vogue then. I gave up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This incident led me to explore more about the jewellery world and I finally enrolled in SNDT for a course in gold jewellery designing. That is how my journey&nbsp;started!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Purvii-Asher-Jewellery-Designer.jpg\" rel=\"mfp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Purvii-Asher-Jewellery-Designer-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15204 lazyload\" width=\"314\" height=\"419\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Purvii-Asher-Jewellery-Designer-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Purvii-Asher-Jewellery-Designer-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Purvii-Asher-Jewellery-Designer-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Purvii-Asher-Jewellery-Designer-300x400.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Purvii-Asher-Jewellery-Designer-450x600.jpg 450w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Purvii-Asher-Jewellery-Designer-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Purvii-Asher-Jewellery-Designer-900x1200.jpg 900w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Purvii-Asher-Jewellery-Designer-20x27.jpg 20w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Purvii-Asher-Jewellery-Designer-72x96.jpg 72w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Purvii-Asher-Jewellery-Designer.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 314px) 100vw, 314px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Purvii Asher<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tell us about your brand&nbsp;and when was it launched?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I launched my brand in 2016.
