Artisan Profile

Ashavri is the brainchild of Shruthi Krishnaswamy, who was surrounded by her mom’s glorious sarees and glittering diamond jewelry since childhood. However, while fine jewelry fascinated Shruthi, she was always interested in finding a way to make more affordable, unique, versatile pieces that were sustainable as well as durable. She also wanted to empower underprivileged women worldwide. And that is how Ashavri came into being.

She is a lifelong creator who has brought joy through her art, yoga and writing to friends, family and people around the world. After stepping down from a Corporate America role, she decided to embrace her calling and share the beauty she sees in her mind’s eye with humanity at large. She loves interacting with people, and each interaction inspires her with a myriad of ideas, while she brings kindness and mindfulness to each of them.

Shruthi’s lustrous nomadic life dancing through several countries, including India, Oman, UAE, North America, Italy and Ireland allows her to see beauty in an array of landscapes and cultures. She is inspired by flora and fauna, geometry, and the 5 natural elements - earth, water, fire, space and air. Every human connection shapes her design, creating simple pieces that reflect empathy, empowerment, and meaning.

They say that when your mind, heart and soul align, beauty happens. Shruthi brings that alignment to all her working relationships. Whether she’s working with CAD technicians, manufacturers, packagers, shippers, or digital marketing experts, she collaborates with a diverse group of individuals. She does so with seamlessness and mindfulness, allowing the values of Ashavri to shine through every step.

Shruthi holds a Master’s degree in Business from the University of Minnesota and a Jewelry design certification from the Gemology Institute of America.
