Apala by Sumit is an innovative line of silver jewellery, an eclectic fusion of contemporary and traditional Indian charm. Each piece of jewellery conjures up something majestically for everyone from the fashion maverick to the intellectual. From the serenely graceful to the fashion diva, Apala has something for everyone.

What is your design philosophy?

It is based on the original ideas trying to make a style statement and enhance the personality of the person who is wearing Apala by Sumi. I believe in designing jewellery that follows a certain theme. While designing jewellery, I always break out of my own barriers of designing.
 
What are your favourite materials to work with and why?

My most preferred material is silver and the because it is very flexible in terms of design.  I get the freedom to play around with finishes and creatively combine with other gemstones and metals.

I don’t have any preferred location as I source them from all around the world. If I have to source certain antiques, I go towards south India and Bhuj in Gujarat. The rest is manufactured in-house.

We target the higher echelon of the society so despite being silvery jewellery our products start from Rs 3,000 onwards.
