Custom Personalized Poem

My wife is an accomplished professional artist and therefore she is very selective about design and quality. As an European, she comes from a different culture but wanted to wear a mangalsutra to show appreciation for her husband’s culture. She searched through hundreds of designs and have looked at multiple mangalsutras on her trips to India. Generally both quality control and lack of contemporary designs were impediments for her. Finally, at Sampati, we found something that met her design aesthetics and quality needs. The mangalustra was delivered on time and looks beautiful.

For years, I have been looking for a traditional, yet refined mangalsutra. I wanted something elegant and long enough that I could wear closer to my heart and I had a really specific image in my mind with a juxtaposition of several different ideas..

I have always been inspired by traditional meenakari work that includes enamel work and delicate details and a more vintage finish. In this process, it was important to me to honor my husband's Maharastrian heritage while creating something that felt unique and personal to us as a couple. I wanted something that "read" mangalsutra with the black beads, but was not overworked. Everyone kept trying to get me to have dual tone or Indo-western looks that didn't resonate with me. I wanted something traditional and modern at the same time, and this totally stumped everyone I have talked to. Jinal listened so carefully, and really got into my head in a way that I did not expect at all.

Jinal, I have watched your designs for years and I loved the Tuberose, due to the marquise stones. It took me a long time to take the plunge on the internet company. I am glad that I (finally) did.

Whenever I talked to traditional jewelers, they could not envision what I described when I said "meenakari with diamonds". People just could not imagine what I was describing, let alone sketch it out. And the final piece feels like an heirloom.

The beauty of the piece is really in the 3 dimensional nature of the locket, that doesnt really come across in the picture, but is a really a unique feature when I wear it. The chain also, is just the right amount of sparkle without being too overwhelming. I love how it's easy to adjust and Jinal customized the number of black beads that felt right to me.

She came up with several other concepts that I think each could work for different lifestyles. I love the idea of the black bead with a halo of diamonds or a double halo vati with a 3d look as well. She does a beautiful job with the infinity concept as well as unique bars. Since I am so picky, I really didn't expect to like multiple designs. I was thrilled to see her promise as a designer who really can translate vision.

Ultimately, the braid detail encircling the vatis is so special to me as this mangalsutra now represents the intertwined nature of our lives as well as our children in addition to aligning with the overall vati concept. It's a modern take on the "sutra" aspect that really feels true my life without compromising on the traditional heritage.

Jinal, it was so fun to work with you and have you listen to my vision and work tirelessly to bring it to life. I appreciate the opportunity to talk with you and iterate through the design. You are a very talented designer.

My only feedback would be to ship via fedex or something mkre secure. The usps person put it in our mailbox without signature. It would have been devastating if it had been lost after all of that.

I am in love with the design.

Can’t wait to wear it! It is beautiful.

Very comfortable to wear and perfect with western wear also

The poem is a great touch and so lovely.

My review on the Arch earrings, which is long overdue. I was on FB and saw a blogger named Christina Davis Patel modeling the Arch earrings. I knew immediately when I saw the photos I had to have these earrings for myself.

I sent a direct message to Sampat jewelers and got a reply instantly stating I can order them online with a 100% satisfaction guaranteed return policy. Customer service is truly shown in all aspects of this business.

I saw she was a local bay area business and I arranged to meet Jinal (owner and designer). She was so pleasant and enthusiastic to show me the arch earrings and many of her other custom jewelry lines. Her passion for jewelry and design clearly shows in her all her jewelry.

I knew I was going to buy the arch earrings even before I arrived to meet Jinal.
Jinal is so patient and wanted to ensure I loved the arch earrings and asked me to try the pair along with some other custom pieces she had pulled aside for me to compare. I felt she didn't pressure me into purchasing anything I did not love.
The warmth in her customer service really drew me into her jewelry line.
I am in love that she can customize and re- purpose existing jewelry creating a unique piece of art to wear.

Jewelry to Jinal is a piece you should completely love and wear as an extension of you. Quality and customization is just part of her business. I look forward to working with her in the future.

Side note: She makes custom children's jewelry, which is a rare find locally.

I couldn’t be more happier with my recent purchase of mangalsutra from sampat jewelers. I love how they have transformed the traditional mangalsutras into a versatile and more wearable jewellery that can be comfortably worn with any attire and is an evergreen design. jinal has helped
me pick great peices in the past and her great hospitality is always a special experience while shopping from their fantastic collection..
