Coomi’s eclectic shapes

Published on August 4, 2022

From Mumbai to the States. There are many Indian jewelers who have chosen to work in America. Among them is Coomi Bhasin, who in 2022 celebrates her special birthday: she began her career in jewelry exactly 20 years ago. She and her husband Hari, a builder, moved to the United States in 1977 and used their design expertise along with engineering to help create a successful family business. Coomi, in fact, has a degree in art history and design, is an architect, landscape architect and textile designer. The jewels are finished by hand and set by hand and, like many Indian jewelers, she loves gold in its almost pure state, at 20 karats (the maximum is 24 karats).

The idea of her jewelry is to combine the decorative forms of Indian architecture with the skyscrapers of Manhattan. In reality, the result is original and does not identify with either of the two aesthetics. Alongside gold, Coomi’s jewels also use silver, which is often burnished to acquire a particular flavor.

The jewels between culture and pomp of Coomi, from India to the USA. Now with a new collection with Colombian emeralds by Muzo ♦

From the fané palaces of Mumbai to the busy avenues of New York or Los Angeles: Coomi Bhasin is an Indian designer who in 1977 left her native country (with much nostalgia) and founded her jewelry company in the USA. It is a strange mix of style and philosophy: textile designer, architect and landscape architect, she brought her experiences into the world of jewelry.

It is no coincidence that she defines herself as a Renaissance woman, that is, capable of creating and reasoning on many different tracks of culture. Her jewelry brand has been active since 2002 and has not struggled to find a prominent place not only in the United States, but also abroad. Her degree in Art History led her to create collections that are inspired by antiquity, from the world of the Egyptians to Greek and Roman sculpture. But not only, as the Muzo collection shows, with Colombian emeralds extracted from the mining company. Friend and appreciated by many celebrities, Coomi has found a balance between History with a capital S and the stories (with a lowercase s) of actors and actresses. At the bottom of Mumbay the most thriving industry is that of Bollywood. Alessia Mongrando

Muzo’s emeralds for 25 designers and one hundred surprising jewels. Here is the result ♦ ︎

Put the children of colored pencils in childrens hands and you will see them draw. Give to a mechanic to screwdriver and the car will be dismantled. Distribute emeralds to a group of designers and you will see surprising jewels. This is what the Colombian mining company Muzo Emerald has done. The initiative is not strange: periodically, the mining companies give to designers their gems to special work.

Muzo has thus delivered emeralds to 25 jewelers including Alexandra Mor, Coomi, Daniela Villegas, Erica Courtney, Kimberly McDonald, Lisa Kim, Mateo, Noor Fares, Selim Mouzannar, Spencer Fine Jewelry, Victor Velyan and Wilfredo Rosado.

Result: a series of jewels that use emeralds in a very modern way. To be clear: no rings with an emerald with emerald cut. Also because the green stones have different shades and qualities. In all, a hundred pieces of different value were conceived. It ranges from about $ 2,000, to the Selim Mouzannar necklace which costs almost $ 120,000. And, according to Muzo, the experiment will continue: 2019 will be a bright green year. Margherita Donato
