PROFILE
In a world that swoons over the 'complete man', Moni Agarwal champions a cause for the fairer sex. Her unflinching faith in the 'woman' stems from a firm belief - that a woman is the essence of humanity. The epitome of grace, beauty, poise and sophistication. And it is Moni's purpose to accentuate & manifest that 'feline power' to its utmost, by designing bespoke jewelry and embellishing her clients, endowing the modem, upright, and successful women of today, with individual & unique style statements. In her own words, Moni & her line of jewelry exists for just one reason-"to serve sophistication, elegance & style."
That this young & vibrant jewelry designer, in her even younger career launched as recently as September 2012, has created a strong, and much sought after aesthetic for her brand of 'classic but with an avant-garde streak' jewels; is no small feat. Showing at personal as well as group shows at some of high-fashion's widely acknowledged venues - the Anahita store, Diyaash jewelry store; with imminent guests & patrons such as Shaina NC, Diana Hayden, Vasuki Sunkavalli, and Anand Kabra in attendance; Moni is one designer who wears her tremendous success lightly. Like any of her jewelry creations, the designer is light-hearted, fun-loving, modest, and has an endearing effervescence that is like a breath of fresh air.

Moni has trained in gemology & taken a number of prestigious diamond programs; her design talent is an eclectic mix of her traditional academic jewelry background and her impressions & inspirations that she gathers over her many pan-India & international travels. Says she, "anything & everything can unknowingly serve as my muse." A character she enjoyed in a book she has read, a classical building in Vietnam, a modern marvel in Korea; all fuel her infinite creative imagination that is inherently infused with a very Indian flavor.

Already a well known label pan-India, Moni is now eager to take her creations to international shores - providing people abroad the opportunity to experience & indulge in her 'creative canvas' - one that is trendy yet traditional, elegant yet fashionable. Jewelry that completes the modern woman.
