They ask me why I never stop; I wonder if they’ve seen the view from the top.
"Ambition is one of the biggest words in my life; I don’t think you can do anything without it. It took a lot of determination for me to get to a stage where I could back myself, and play for India.”

The unstoppable drive of a woman is captured in this collection through the metaphor of towering skyrises, in bold, three-dimensional jewels.
Evoking the inspiring emotion of looking up at a skyscraper from the ground, the jewels are characterised by architectural designs. Trillion-cut faceted diamonds are set like pyramids in geometric 18K rose-gold silhouettes that make a bold statement.
“If you have an ambition, that’s the inspiration. If you have a goal, that’s what keeps you going. When it comes to capturing this drive, I think this jewellery by Her Story is fluid. Whoever wears it will do so according to their own personality. In the South, we have a very traditional way of wearing jewels – to fit one occasion or a certain mindset. But this collection can fit you according to your belief system.”
