Valani Atelier

For over 80 years, the Valani family has been directly sourcing gemstones from mines around the world and employing artisans skilled in traditional techniques perfected over generations. Valani Atelier is known for its sophisticated designs that link heritage craftsmanship with modern creativity. Now under the direction of award-winning designer Heena Chheda Shah, Valani offers original and bold jewellery for a new generation of women who know the value of beauty, simplicity, and integrity, with each responsibly sourced piece designed in the NYC studio. The Atelier maintains the highest standards of quality; each of its rare gemstone pieces is minimalist in style and tells a bold story, using light, colour and sculptural forms, reflecting the brilliance of the women who wear it. Ethical sourcing lies at the heart of the brand’s values, making Gemfields, who are able to provide exact details of the provenance of their gemstones, an ideal collaborator for Valani. “The pursuit of the modern elegance that drives my work demands gemstones of equal quality and consistency. I know there’s no compromise with gemstones from Gemfields,” says designer Heena Shah, adding: “Transparency is key and means a great deal to my clients. The bold silhouettes of rare rubies and emeralds in these pieces resonate strongly with the refined women who wear them.”
