What is the speciality of your label?

“All the products have their inspiration deeply rooted in Art, Culture and Architecture. So you know you are not wearing a just a haphazard thought turned into product, but a story in itself”, said Radhika.

I customise according to the client’s needs too. All the products are handmade and the gems used are semi-precious pieces like Rose Quarts,Crystal, Smoky, Citrin, Druzy, Agate, Onyx etc. Swarovski has been the newest introduction to the family. (Hello Swarovski, how do you do?)

What was the inspiration behind your label?

Like many, I fell in love while in college too; the only difference being, it was not a human being! While working on my graduation project based on art jewelry, I realised my love towards jewellery. That was the time when I wanted to start off with a jewellery brand; but I always wanted to make something different, something contemporary yet traditional. I did not want to use gold or silver for various reasons, as in they would be expensive and for a lot of people is inconvenient to carry. So I decided to use inexpensive metal and mould them into beautiful contemporary products.

‘KANSYA’ is derived from a Sanskrit word meaning, ‘Queens metal’ or ‘bell metal’. Whereas in Japanese it means ‘to be grateful’. Interpreted anyhow, it wins. :)

What are your plans going forward?

Branching to other cities, in terms of participating in exhibitions and retail stores.

Stamping my label on the buzzing e-com sect is also on the cards.:)

What do you think is the face of styling in a country like India?

Fashion styling in India today is changing drastically, especially in terms of jewelry. People are absolutely comfortable about the idea of ‘Extremism’. Indians today are not inhibitive about teaming contemporary and quirky accessories with traditional wear and vice versa.

Where can users find your label?

Currently, the label is available in two stores in Kolkata — BOMBAIM and OMMYRA. One can also find us on Facebook.
