Welcome to the world of Roshé Jewels, where luxury meets bold design and vibrant gemstones take center stage. At the heart of this brand are two remarkable sisters, Reshma and Roshni Kothari, who have combined their deep-rooted passion for gemstones with a keen eye for modern design. In this first blog post, we invite you to discover the story behind Roshé Jewels and how these dynamic sisters have created a brand that speaks to the modern, sophisticated woman.
A Family Legacy
Roshé Jewels was born from a legacy of gemstone expertise that spans generations. Reshma and Roshni grew up immersed in the world of fine jewelry, thanks to their father, Virendra Kothari, who founded Diagem Imports in 1984. Diagem, a wholesale establishment specializing in loose gems and finished jewelry, has been a cornerstone of the family’s success in the jewelry industry. The Kothari family, who immigrated to the U.S. from Mumbai, brought with them a rich tradition of gemstone knowledge and a deep appreciation for the art of jewelry-making.
For nearly two decades, Reshma and Roshni worked alongside their father in downtown Los Angeles, learning the intricacies of the business. After earning degrees from the prestigious Gemological Institute of America in Carlsbad, California, the sisters honed their skills and developed a profound understanding of the beauty and value of gemstones.
The Birth of Roshé Jewels
In 2017, with a wealth of knowledge and experience under their belts, Reshma and Roshni decided to take a bold step forward by launching their own brand, Roshé Jewels. Their vision was clear: to create a line of jewelry that would appeal to a new generation of collectors, women who appreciate luxury but also crave individuality and modernity in their accessories.
Reshma, who handles product development, and Roshni, the creative force behind the designs, set out to craft statement pieces that would stand out in the world of fine jewelry. Their brand quickly became known for its daring use of color, unique gemstone combinations, and a design philosophy that celebrates the natural beauty of each stone.
Designing with Passion
At Roshé Jewels, every piece tells a story. The sisters are passionate about using natural gemstones, each chosen for its distinct color, cut, and character. “Our brand focuses mainly on statement rings and earrings that are crafted with natural gemstones,” says Reshma. “The distinctive color combinations in our designs give our pieces an edge.”
This passion for gemstones is evident in every Roshé Jewels creation. The sisters are inspired by the vibrant hues of gemstones like Mexican fire opals, amethysts, sapphires, and apatites. These stones, often overlooked in traditional fine jewelry, are transformed into stunning, modern masterpieces under Roshni’s artistic direction.
A Unique Approach to Design
One of the defining features of Roshé Jewels is the sisters’ innovative approach to color mixing. Rather than adhering to conventional color pairings, Reshma and Roshni let the gemstones guide their creative process. Roshni carefully hand selects each stone resulting in a harmonious yet daring blend of colors that makes each piece truly unique.
This approach was further refined during the pandemic when travel restrictions limited their access to new gemstones. Forced to work with what they had on hand, the sisters experimented with unconventional color combinations, leading to some of their most distinctive designs to date. “At first, it was challenging,” Roshni recalls, “But when we started experimenting with color combinations that were not normally placed together, we realized we were creating some very distinctive pieces.”
Looking Ahead
Today, Roshé Jewels is a brand that embodies the perfect blend of tradition and innovation. The sisters’ commitment to quality, their love for gemstones, and their fearless approach to design have earned them a loyal following among women who appreciate luxury with a modern twist.
As Reshma and Roshni continue to push the boundaries of fine jewelry design, they remain dedicated to sourcing the finest gemstones from around the world. Their goal is to create pieces that not only captivate the eye but also resonate with the women who wear them.
Roshé Jewels is more than just a jewelry brand; it’s a celebration of color, creativity, and craftsmanship. As Reshma and Roshni Kothari continue to build their brand, they invite you to join them on this journey, where each piece of jewelry is a testament to their passion for gemstones and their commitment to excellence.
