Suhani Pittie Biography

Suhani Pittie is an Indian jewellery designer known for blending traditional Indian elements with contemporary forms. A Gemological Institute of America-–a

Early life and background

Suhani Pittie was born on 14 April 1981 in Kolkata. She attended Mahadevi Birla Girls’ High School (now Mahadevi Birla World Academy) and later studied at the Gemological Institute of America in Carlsbad, where she completed her bachelor’s degree. Raised in a household that fostered creativity — two of her sisters work in design-related fields — Pittie developed an early fascination with gems and materials that would shape her career.

Career

Pittie began working with gemstones at a young age. By 19 she was teaching at a gemology school and, a year later, had established her own training institute focused on grading diamonds and colored stones. Following her marriage in 2004 and a move to Hyderabad, she launched her eponymous design firm and introduced a silver jewellery collection, as well as the brand Zorya.

Her approach to jewellery combines vintage and modern sensibilities, often pairing minimalist western forms with recognizably Indian motifs. Pittie frequently incorporates unexpected materials into her work — gems, jute, buttons, crystals and pearls — and draws on motifs such as leaves, entwining vines, roses, peacocks and hornbill beaks. She has experimented with repurposing antique objects as wearable elements, turning items like miniature clocks and old nose-pins into pendants and hair accessories.

Pittie’s collections include Grunge Begum (2010), Urban Folk (2011), Child of Eden (2012), Dances of Earth (2013) and Nowhere People (2016). Other named collections and edits associated with her label are Pearl Soirée, CAIRO, City Safari, The Coral Isle, Rang Barse, Moon Phase, Sunlit Fields, World of Romance, Celebration Edit, Sterling Silver and Minimal.

Her work has been presented at notable platforms and events. In 2007 she became the first Indian jewellery designer selected to exhibit at Miami Fashion Week. The New York City Museum of Arts and Design commissioned work from her in 2008, and that year her collection “Marshes & Marigold” appeared at WLIFW SS. She presented collections at venues such as Bal Samand Lake Palace in Jodhpur and exhibited “Child of Eden” at Lakmé Fashion Week Summer-Resort in 2012.

Pittie has collaborated with international and Indian brands and institutions. Swarovski commissioned designs from her for the company’s tenth-anniversary celebration in India, and travel and lifestyle channel TLC featured her work on its show “Oh My Gold,” where she co-hosted an episode alongside Lisa Ray. She has also worked with brands and retailers including Nykaa, Myntra, Jaypore and the Taj Group, and with fellow creatives such as painter Thota Vaikuntam and designer Anamika Khanna.

Recognition and awards

Pittie’s career has earned multiple awards and honors. Early recognition came with the Devi Award for Innovation & Dynamism from The New Indian Express in 2005 and the SinGem Award for Excellence in gemology in 2007. In 2012 she received the Audi Icon Award from Ritz magazine and the FICCI Young Women Achievers Award. Additional honors include the Artisan Award from the Gem Jewellery Export Promotion Council in 2015 and the GJTCI Award of Excellence (Fourth Edition) presented in 2016.

She has been listed on several industry and cultural roundups: among Elle’s top 10 women in India to watch (2007), the Passionate Foundation’s list of young youth icons of Andhra Pradesh (2008), and Vogue Italia’s five designers to watch from India (2012). The World Gold Council named her among the top 10 most inventive jewellery designers globally in 2013, and that year she also appeared on lists by Femina, Fortune and Grazia. Hi! Blitz included her in a “Top 50 Game Changers” feature.
