Hello, I’m Harpreet!

The Vision
I strive to create wearable sculpture for the body. Each piece, fabricated by hand, exists in a delicate dance between precision and playfulness, where opposing forces merge to create bold, statement jewelry.

The Inspiration
My practice is an evolution of recurring forms. I experiment with patterns, intentionally disrupting them to transform simple shapes—geometric and organic—into visual explorations of balance. I am interested in how a concept can be pushed, played with, and eventually driven to its edge. Every piece is a unique study; by returning to foundational shapes, I am able to pay homage to the original intent while discovering new thresholds of balance and materiality.

A Departure from the Expected
Prioritizing design over material value, my jewelry challenges traditional notions of preciousness, instead celebrating form and craftsmanship. For me, jewelry is not just adornment; it’s an opportunity to explore the boundaries of what jewelry can be—a departure from the expected, pushing the limits of what is possible.

My story

Born and raised in India, I moved to Los Angeles with my family at the age of 12. After attending college in the Bay Area and graduate school in Washington DC, I worked abroad in Asia and Africa before settling in DC in 2009. Always a creative at heart, I discovered my passion for jewelry design later in life.

I’ve taken workshops at the Penland School of Craft, the Baltimore Jewelry Center, and the Art League in Alexandria, VA—all while juggling a full-time career in Global Health and International Development. Harpreet Anand Jewelry marks my second career, and I’m excited to see where it takes me.
