Rekiya Designs

The story of Rekiya Designs starts with its founder, Rekha, and her journey of resilience, creativity and the persistent pursuit of one’s dream. Growing up in the cultural renaissance of 1970s India, Rekha’s artistic talents bloomed from an early age, nurtured by a childhood filled with diverse influences and experiences.

Her journey expanded across continents, from Thailand to the bustling streets of New York City’s diamond district, where she honed her skills and carved a niche for herself in the world of fine jewelry. As a mother, Rekha instilled in her children the values of creativity, perseverance and the importance of honoring one’s heritage.

Inspired by her daughter Ria’s milestone birthday, Rekha embarked on a new chapter, channeling her passion for design into the creation of Rekiya Designs. Drawing inspiration from her rich cultural heritage, as well as her deep connection to nature and the women who have influenced her, Rekha poured her heart and soul into each piece she crafted. With over two decades of experience working with precious gemstones and diamonds, Rekha’s designs are symbols of empowerment, crafted with intention and love. Each made-to-order piece celebrates every woman’s unique journey and the beauty that lies within.
 
Rekiya Designs is more than just a brand; it is a symbol of enduring power and belief that every woman deserves to adorn herself with pieces that reflect her strength, resilience and beauty. Rekha’s gift to the world is a legacy of courage and creativity that will inspire generations to come.
