His artistic journey began at the age of 10, under the guidance of his teacher, Shri Chhote Lal Kumawat. Today, Prithvi continues to pursue his craft, with his son working alongside him, carrying forward the family tradition.
What sets Prithvi's artistry apart is his deep affinity for gemstones. He meticulously works with a variety of gemstones, including the multi-colored beauty of Fluorite, the allure of Ruby, and the enchanting rainbow-like Labradorite. His expertise shines through in the exquisite jewelry he creates, particularly his love for crafting with Ruby gemstones.
Themes close to Prithvi's heart often revolve around spirituality and divinity. His art often features iconic representations like Buddha heads, Shiva heads, and depictions of Radha and Krishna, capturing the essence of God and goddesses.

Prithvi's enduring dedication, unwavering creativity, and adaptability have been the cornerstones of his success.

This craft in India traces its origins back to ancient times under various dynasties, including the Mughals and the Rajputs, who valued gemstones not only for their beauty but also for their symbolic significance. Knowledge of gemstones was passed from father to son for generations but also taught in texts such as the notorious Kama Sutra. Over the centuries, gemstone craft evolved, incorporating influences from different regions and cultures, resulting in a diverse array of styles and techniques. Legend According to Hindu mythology, gemstones are believed to have mystical powers and are associated with planetary influences. Each gemstone is said to resonate with specific energies, offering power, protection, healing, and prosperity to those who own it.Carved gemstones are having a moment right now—here’s what India’s past reveals about their history | Vogue India.
