OMG by Jo Jewellery
This week I am pleased to bring you a Q&A session with Jyothsna Venkatesh, head of design at leading accessories brand OMG by Jo Jewellery. Read on and find out the story behind the design of this glamorous new range.
Tanya Fontes: What first sparked your passion for designing fashion jewellery and accessories?
Jyothsna Venkatesh: I have always been passionate about jewellery, and harbour a strong belief that the absence of accessories, of which jewellery is the most critical aspect, makes styling incomplete.
I also have often felt limited by the options available; I want to wear timeless and beautiful pieces, but had to really shop around to find what I wanted ~ so I decided to turn my passion into my profession.
Tanya Fontes: The new jewellery range looks gorgeous! Can you tell us about the inspiration behind it?
Jyothsna Venkatesh: With OMG by Jo Jewellery, it’s all about making the ordinary extraordinary. My focus this season was on using a touch of traditional Indian culture to my signature contemporary pieces. I aimed to achieve decadent pieces, but with a few more urban influences and injections of gold across the range; you can choose from a wide range of earrings, kadas, and bracelets.
Tanya Fontes: Is there one trend in particular that you think will really shine for jewellery this season?
Jyothsna Venkatesh: Jewellery evokes an emotional connection to an object… It opens our eyes and our minds to striking details of life that can be used in creative ways. With the coming wedding season, it’s going to be Kundan necklaces and earrings, and stone cuffs at OMG by Jo Jewellery.
Tanya Fontes: Tell us the story behind one of the pieces you are wearing today.
Jyothsna Venkatesh: I am wearing my favourite statement necklace today, paired with a flowing midnight gown. This necklace highlights and accentuates a simple garment, and can be worn with both traditional as well as western silhouettes.
Tanya Fontes: What can we expect to see next from OMG by Jo Jewellery?
Jyothsna Venkatesh: I have recently started a new venture which focuses on the corporate woman, and I will soon unveil an exclusive range of light jewellery that can be paired with corporate attire.
Being beautifully designed and finished is what sets OMG by Jo Jewellery apart from the others. I have one goal in mind ~ to create stylish and affordable jewellery with fine attention to detail.
Don’t miss the chance to purchase these uniquely beautiful pieces! Also, I’d love to have you share your thoughts on OMG by Jo Jewellery in the comments below!
I’m really loving the template/theme of your blog, Tanya. It’s simple, yet effective. In other news, Jyothsna surely knows how to turn her clients into heart throbs with her beautiful creations! 🙂
Thank you, Vandita. Very well said!
Interesting interview. I must get my sister to check out these classic kundan pieces that will go with her ethnic couture. 🙂
So glad to hear this!
What beautiful photos, and a mesmerizing collection! I would look glamorous wearing her stunning pieces! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
I’m so glad you resonate with this, Sumalatha.
Trending jewellery this season… 🙂 Always appreciate your take on things ~ but it also frightens me, sometimes, how articulate you are. No influencer should be allowed to be this smart. 🙂
Thank you for your affectionate thoughts, Shikha.
Statement kundan pieces that match your every outfit – thank you for sharing! You just won a new reader!
Happy to hear this, Vidyani!
Women should never go without stunning jewellery ~ just thought I would add my two cents. 🙂 Reading your blog is pure pleasure, by the way! ✨
Thank you, Mansheel! I’m humbled by your love.
You are truly inspirational, Tanya! Love your take on her jewellery creations… definitely better than anti-fashion fashion!
Thank you, Neha. This means so much to me!
Your writing is the best ever! ❤️ And on that note, I think of this collection as basic with personality. Whether that’d be the texture, colours, or style of the pieces.
Thank you for resonating with this and your warm appreciation, Manan.
I absolutely love the style of your writing… and I love this theme! Absolutely stunning jewellery, too!
Thank you, Kajal. So glad you like it!
This is a sensitive and depth filled piece (in imagery and words). I’m curious about how you include people who aren’t your main subjects in your visual work…
Thank you, Nisha. These images were provided by the brand.
