What would you say are some of the hallmarks of your craftsmanship?
A key hallmark of our craftsmanship is the way we set baguette and round diamonds or gemstones side by side so seamlessly they read as a single surface. We often recut stones specifically for each piece, allowing proportions and angles to align perfectly—much like a continuous mosaic rather than individual settings.
Are there particular motifs that come up again and again in your work?
Geometry and movement appear repeatedly in our work. We’re drawn to forms that feel architectural yet fluid—lines that repeat, shift, and refract, much like a (Talay Collection) which simply means the sea in Thai and in contrast, our Kaleidoscope Collection has evolved with different patterns over the years. There is also an ongoing dialogue between softness and strength: sharp angles softened by curves.
How do your other interests—art and music, for instance—inform your designs or your process, if at all?
We see art everywhere—on beach trips, in the architecture around us, in Art Deco ornamentation, and in mid-century furniture. These influences shape our sense of composition, proportion, and balance rather than translating literally into motifs.
Our observations guide how we structure a piece, how elements relate to one another, and when to leave space.
Walk me through an example of how a particular source of inspiration becomes a Kavant & Sharart piece.
Sometimes, it begins with a moment—maybe the way light hits a building or a structure we notice in passing, the waves as it approaches the beach. We take lots of videos and pictures along the way. The fleeting moments are all captured in our phone and gradually, we take the time to go back, sometimes it could be a trip from 6 years ago.
We keep our focus on wearable proportions and how the piece should move. From there, we often adjust or recut stones to keep everything flowing seamlessly. The last step is making sure it feels effortless to wear. When all of that comes together, it feels right as a Kavant & Sharart piece.
How has living in Bangkok and Singapore influenced your work?
Both cities offer a unique duality that resonates with us. Bangkok is rich in craftsmanship, tradition, while Singapore brings clarity, structure, and modernity. Moving between the two has sharpened our appreciation for contrast—old and new, bold and restrained—which seems to finds its way into our designs.
Do you have a way to test a piece to judge on your own if it’s interesting enough to produce?
We ask ourselves: would we still find this compelling ten years from now. We also physically wear our prototypes—if it doesn’t feel intuitive on the body, it doesn’t move forward.
What was the last thing that inspired you?
A quiet moment rather than an object—watching light shift across a building façade at different times of day. It reminded us how very subtle changes in angle and proportion can completely transform perception, something we constantly explore in our jewelry.
What quality or qualities would you say your clientele all have in common?
They are discerning, adventurous and quietly confident. Our clients appreciate craftsmanship and intention; they don’t need their jewelry to shout. Many are collectors at heart—they value pieces that feel personal, thoughtful, and enduring. Above all, they value unique designs.
What gemstone are you most into at the moment?
Sapphire, emeralds continue to fascinate us. Sapphire’s range of colors, natural brilliance, and hardiness make it incredibly versatile. It has a quiet confidence that aligns beautifully with our design philosophy.
In what ways do you challenge yourself to make more and more beautiful objects?
By constantly refining rather than adding. Each collection is an exercise in clarity—removing excess, improving proportion, and pushing technical boundaries while keeping the design honest. For us, beauty comes from precision, restraint, and how a piece makes you feel—not just how complex it is.
