To envision the breathtaking view of a woman from head to toe in one's own creations, to do away with the conventional and passé styles and emerge with a distinct line of jewelry, to reflect a woman's inner most desires, to dream visual stunners which adorn a woman's body, such is the vision of ASHA KAMAL MODI, designer par excellence and the driving force behind the enchanting jewelry line 'Art Karat'.

Asha Kamal Modi launched her line in 1988, a time when the concept of designer jewelry was unheard in India, in face of acute cynicism she has carved a niche for herself as one of the most recognized jewelry designers of India. She draws her inspirations from the basic elements of nature together with the rich Indian heritage, studying its changing moods and traditions. Each of her designs is different in style, mood and craftsmanship, made to perfection by some of India's finest artisans.

Asha's creations cater to a wide canvas of both traditional and western tastes, blending majestically with whatever a woman wears. Asha has designed jewelry for more than 10 bollywood blockbusters some of which include movies like 'Devdas', Monsoon Wedding' and 'Kamasutra'. It is her deep-rooted sensitivity of being a woman and her exceptional creativity, which has made her a household name among the Indian affluent.

A trained gemologist, Asha has been felicitated for her talent with the President's award for design, the FICCI 2005 award and the prestigious Best Designer Accolade by the Gem & Jewelry Export Promotion Council, among many other recognitions.
Asha and her husband Kamal Modi reside in New Delhi with their two children Saket and Shivani who are also a part of the business, Saket manages Art Karat in the United States and Shivani designs for Gold Karat, the gold and diamond division of the group.
