This trip I am making a lot custom orders and a friend of mine gave me a gold and diamond ring. She asked if we could melt the gold and use it in her piece and she wanted to give the diamond to Kumar as a gift.
The other day, as I was sitting with Kumar in his shop, he asked me, 'Samia, you remember your friend? The one who has given me the diamond as a gift?'
I said, 'Yes, Kumar, I remember.'
He said, 'Well, I am thinking of also giving the diamond as a gift.'
I replied, 'Wow, Kumar, that is so kind. Who are you thinking of giving the diamond to?'
Kumar then says, 'Samia, not like that, not like that. There is one Goddess, her name is Saraswati. She is the Goddess of Wisdom and art and culture and there is one temple. I am thinking, I will make a nose ring or a pendant and give it to the Goddess Saraswati at the temple.'
How i love India. How I love Kumar.
So, I asked Kumar, 'How would you feel if I told my friend your idea?" he replied, "you MUST tell your friend my idea. It is necessary."
Kumar and I have been working very hard this week.. Here are a few photos of what we have been up to.
