Chetan Kakadiya was twenty when he first picked up a polishing wheel. Twenty-five years later, he's still at the bench — only now, the work goes out under his own name.

From his early days cutting and polishing for the trade, to designing pieces for the industry's largest houses, Chetan has spent more than two decades inside every step of how a diamond becomes a piece of jewelry. The Chetan Collection is what came next: a small, focused workshop in New York making fine jewelry by hand.
