SIKARA

Sikara is inspired from the Indian word, Shikara, which means houseboat. It symbolizes the journey we take in life which results in a fusion of experiences.  As a teenager, founder Mousumi Shaw helped her mother, an immigrant from India, start up her own jewelry company in the United States.  Fourteen years later, Mousumi decided to launch Sikara, which incorporates her passions for art, jewelry and other cultures.  

Sikara is Modern Fusion Jewelry™ and is a reflection of Mousumi’s life as a first generation Indian-American.  Although her ancestral roots are from India, she has been influenced by a multi-cultural world.  Her travel and life experiences in over thirty countries have become engrained in her personality, her sense of style and the design of Sikara.

“Fusion” represents our lives in today’s world.  It is a blend of our past heritage and a new modern spirit.  Sikara speaks to this fusion.
