By Raymondleejewelers @raymondleejwlrs

When it comes to high quality top of the line jewelry it is important for the jewelry itself to be crafted by an experienced and dedicated jeweler. Jewelers provide the hands on craft that is needed in order to create and shape exquisite pieces of jewelry. The key to this is a hands on eye for detail. Munnu has provided that approach for years. The New York Times dedicated a column to Munnu Kasliwal who passed away in 2012 at the age of 54. The New York Times covered Munnu because of the huge impact the Jeweler had. The article establishes Munnu rightly so as a jeweler that was “in demand”. Munnu’s presence stretched across the world in his pieces and shined and continues to shine as an example of exotic luxury jewelry for connoisseurs and royalty to snatch up and drool over.

Diamonds Everywhere

One thing that instantly becomes noticeable when observing a piece by Munnu, is the amount of diamonds used. Munnu pieces have a flair of India exoticness encrusted in diamonds. Munnu’s work can often tend to have a very spiritual feeling to it, appearing to be deeply made and inspired by some Indian god, but made to be worn by someone who will feel like a god. The diamonds encrusted in Munnu’s rings and bracelets are more than apparent, but are not an eye sore, but an eye catcher. Instyle’s piece on Munnu’s flat cut diamond necklace, demonstrates just how exciting Munnu’s creations are. The necklace itself is pure diamonds all the way round, allowing the necklace to catch eyes and shine as an extremely formal dress wear accessory.
