"A piece of jewelry has the power to make someone feel unique, beautiful and loved. Our jewels have the magic to make someone feel like that every single day." - Karishma Patel
About Karishma
Karishma, the owner and founding designer of KAPES Fine Jewelry was born in Navsari, a small city in India – close to Surat (the diamond city of India). At a tender age, she moved to Tokyo, Japan, where she flourished into the exceptional talent she is today, earning her place in the hearts of many jewelry enthusiasts, creating the most unique, affordable and versatile high end 18K and 22K gold jewelry inspired by her Indian heritage, upbringing in Japan and travels to Italy
The Journey
Karishma grew up to find diamonds, pearls and gemstones very appealing. Her father ran a wholesale jewelry and diamond business in Japan for over 20 years, and she would always assist him at his office and tradeshows to admire the beauty of the sparkly gemstones. Though she was fascinated by the diamond and jewelry business, she also wanted to explore other options that life had to offer. So she moved on to acquire a college degree in Finance and Corporate Management in San Francisco, California. Still driven by her passion for design and sparkling gemstones, she enrolled in the Gemological Institute of America in Mumbai after her college degree. And that was where the journey of KAPES truly began. Karishma started attending tradeshows in Japan, Italy, Hong Kong, India and the United States, as well as visiting different couuntries to draw inspirations, which has been the magic behind the creation of her beautiful line of gold, pearl and diamond jewelry.
