Hi everyone!

My name is Kirat and I am the one woman show behind Urban Gypsea Jewelry.

As a child, I loved dressing up in my mom's jewelry. There was something so special about donning my traditional cultural clothing and then choosing from the pieces my mom would bring home from the bank. When I turned 16, my parents gifted me my first pair of “kade.” I still remember going to the jewelry store with my dad and coming home to a surprise party with my first set of gold bangles. They were 14k gold and platinum with five flower like charms hanging from each one— my absolute favorite possession. Sadly, we lost these and a few other heirloom pieces from my great grandmother when our home was robbed.

I never imagined that jewelry could be a career path and eventually pursued the sciences over art. After graduating from Baylor I taught high school chemistry in Dallas and then moved to New Orleans to study Physical Therapy. I have been a travel therapist since graduating and am so grateful for everything this path has brought into my life. It was during this time that I learned I could very well make jewelry and that it was not all machine made. It blew my mind when friends wanted to purchase jewelry I had made. And now, all of you out there, representing my brand fill my heart with joy... and my life with so many happy dances. Thank you for being here to support my dream.

Much love,

Kirat
