Meenoo Mishra was in need of a hobby, something to do with her hands - and the result is something absolutely beautiful. She creates handmade jewelry, inspired by Indian and global myths, legends, folklore, and nature.

I loved chatting with Meenoo about her passion! We talk moonstone, fairy tales, Roman glass, Art Nouveau, broken jewelry, red carpet designs, and so much more.

So find out why Meenoo loves making jewelry - and why you might learn to love it, too!
