This is the public profile of Vinita Michael, Additional information and high-resolution images are available for accredited press members, to access additional information about Vinita Michael please login as a press member.The human spirit comes across as the biggest inspiration to me. The relation it establishes with its environment sparks the origin of ideas. I see my work as a concoction of Intuition, Logic and Technical Know-how.
Ever since I can remember, I have always enjoyed working with metals. Fascinated by the color, texture, composition, and versatile physical properties of different materials, I've grown to appreciate the allure, excitement as well as the various challenges involved in working with them. Filigree, Repousse', Chasing, Engraving, Etching, and some of the many rich metal crafts of the Indian Subcontinent have encouraged me to experiment with the limitless possibilities in exploring the metallic surface. I specialize in Fine Gold set with precious Gems and Sterling Silver Jewelry.
