Sculptor and textile artist Chloe Sachs began traveling in search of unique precious and semi-precious stones, textiles and jewelry. India quickly became Chloe’s favorite destination, with its beautiful antique Kundan style of jewelry and abundance of rare and semi-precious stones. As a former clothing designer, she could not resist the temptation to create her own line of handmade necklaces, bracelets and earrings. Chloe has designed a series of delicate, exquisite pieces that reflect her individual artistic sensibilities and the inspiration of India’s landscape and people.
