“Crisanto Jewels is my passion project. My love for designing started when I was a little girl. I used to doodle jewellery designs at the back of my school books. During college, I took courses in diamond grading and jewellery design. I would often spend time at our family jeweller’s store to learn the nuances of this line of work. My first exhibition was at Nouveau, Taj, 10 years back and the brand Crisanto Jewels were born. I kept curating exclusive jewellery meticulously foraying into designing for the little ones, women and even men. I feel extremely elated when my jewellery is well-appreciated by my clients. I want my buyers to enjoy wearing my versatile jewellery each day and not be hoarded in lockers. For me, it’s like my child turning 10 today. I wanted to mark this occasion by having an exclusive celebration of dazzle and glamour showcasing some of my finest work. I want everyone who attends to feel special and like a celebrity. So we created a ramp-like entrance with a LED screen that people can walk on, having diamond visuals. The entire decor, music, drinks and even the food are themed according to jewellery. I am so happy and excited about my brand turning 10 and look forward to the next decade”, said Bharti Bangur, proprietor of Crisanto Jewel.
“I’ve been associated with Crisanto since it was born 10 years back. Bharti is a great designer and her stuff is very wearable and affordable. Her products are great for gifting. I think it’s impossible to go to her store and come back without purchasing anything”, said Sunaina Bihani, director of Pulse Diagnostics.
“My friend Bharti’s brand Crisanto is one of the best jewellery brands in the city. Her store is my go-to place whenever I want to indulge and pick something very unique. There is always so much choice that you feel spoilt. Crisanto has some gorgeous pieces for the little one and I have picked some pretty pieces for my nieces. The versatility and elegance of the products just speak for the brand,” said Shradha Murarka, fashion director, Vizyon, Calcutta.
“Crisanto is a brand I know through Bharti. She’s always been fun-loving and interesting. Whenever I have to gift anyone a piece, Bharti sends me the most appropriate product and whatever I have gifted anyone from her, everyone just appreciated the pieces”, said Shradha Saraf, former chairperson of FICCI Flo Kolkata (2022-2023).
“I know Bharti for 10 years now. When she started off, I had my own jewellery store at the Enclave. As a client and a friend, we have discussed a lot of things and I’ve seen her grow for the last 10 years. It feels really amazing,” said jewellery designer Vasundhara Mantri.
“Crisanto’s pieces are very modern and newage. They have pieces for every age like I buy stuff for myself and for my daughter too. The craftsmanship is beautiful,” said Nisha Kanoi, an investor.
