Bombay Bred

There are times when you really need to make a statement. Pack a punch. Which is why you have to ditch the delicate gold strand necklace and throw on something a little more exotic.

Bombay bred Shahnaz Hughson is the owner of Bombay Gal an Atlanta boutique specializing in clothing and hand crafted jewelry. Shahnaz’s designs are not for wallflowers. She sources from far-flung places like Mexico, Peru, Cuba, Africa, Brazil and of course India. Think Masai glass, gold horns, copper disks. The result is big beautiful exotic pieces that can go just easily with a tee as they can with an evening gown.

Multi-tasking jewelry? Now that’s a hot ticket.

What's Your Name?


“MADH uri. MADH urrrriiiii!!!”

“MAD uri? Like Mad Cow? Is that how you say it?”

If you’ve ever had to repeat your name fifty times to a non-Indian before they could understand it, the daily desi has the solution for you. Instead of reiterating your moniker you can just point to your neck. Yep, that’s right. The kiddies at Limoges Jewelry can make a personalized Carrie-Bradshaw-style necklace with your own little South Asian name.

You can get your sweetheart's name (Amit loves Asha), block letters, and even vertical style. And if you’ve been secretly coveting Ms. Bradshaw’s necklace, get the classic script lettering in gold. Choices, choices!

But if you REALLY want to pump it up, you can check out Sky Gift Worldwide on eBay, where you can purchase a customized nameplate necklace in…. Hindi!! Sky Gift not only sells necklaces in Hindi, but also Farsi, and Arabic. Now you can wow your desi friends and mystify drunk guys at the bar, with your nameplate necklace. A conversation starter for sure.

Eat your heart out Carrie.

Me Me Me


The boss is demanding to know you why you missed your deadline. The phone is ringing of the hook and you broke the heel on your brand new Manolo Blahniks.

Before you chuck your Blackberry out of the window, check out Me and Ro, a serenity inducing line of Eastern inspired jewelry.

Referencing Buddhist and Hindu (as well as Chinese and Tibetan) philosophy, Me and Ro adorns its necklaces, earrings, and anklets with Sanskrit words such as “Ahimsa” (non-violence) and “Veda” (wisdom), various mantras, and the ubiquitous yogi favorite, “Om”. Me & Ro even has a “charity” collection, in which all proceeds to go to a variety of organizations, including Step Up Women’s Network and the Joyful Heart Foundation to help survivors of sexual abuse.

Most importantly, you can shop online and even check out the Me and Ro blog which features some of their inspirations and links to some of their favorite sites including www.miraclefoundation.org (helping orphans in India) and www.jivamuktiyoga.com.

Now you can carry that post-yoga bliss with you all day.
