Anaita Thakkar

Born in India amidst a jingling sea of gold bangles, necklaces, earrings and more, stood Anaita Thakkar with a love for silver and natural gemstones. Even from youth she has stood apart, independent and determined. She married, moved to Singapore and became mum to two beautiful babes. It is here, in 2011, that Lustre Jewellery was born.

Despite her growing business, Thakkar is still very involved in every part of it. Each and every prototype is made to her specifications. Discover Lustre today.
