NIGAAM jewelry is consistently breathtaking in its sophistication. A multi-generation, family-run business, NIGAAM got its start as a small, precious stone cutting facility in India in the 1970’s. The company evolved to become a major global supplier before launching an exquisite collection of fine jewelry. NIGAAM, which is spearheaded by Prateek Nigam, offers meticulously crafted collections that embody inspirations from both the East and West. Prateek is always a reliably dapper and friendly fixture at JA New York shows, and in connecting with him for this feature, we realized he’s a man of multiple passions!
