Meenoo Mishra aka Minou Bazaar hails from Virginia, United States, were she designs and make all the jewellery for her Etsy store - {Minou Bazaar} she lives with her husband and cats. Here she talks about her art plus what inspires her..
"I make Indian-inspired jewelry. As I say on my site, you will find Indian-style jewelry as well as jewelry for global nomads, romantic old souls, and elephant and peacock enthusiasts at Minou Bazaar! The jewelry I make is the kind I like to wear myself. I realised that while I love Indian jewelry, it can be rather ornate to wear everyday. So I set about creating fusion jewelry, with the best of Indian and American design.
I love vintage and old jewelry so I almost always have vintage beads or components in my designs. I am inspired by colour, nature, and history but I always incorporate Indian patterns, colours, motifs, or symbols in my jewelry. Indian jewelry is also influenced by Persian and Arabic design so I look to that beautiful world for inspiration as well. Sometimes I go traditional but mostly I like to make jewelry that is reminiscent of Indian and South Asian design.
I love doing custom work and I've worked with brides to create jewelry and gifts for their bridesmaids or wedding party."
