Harjinder Bawa and her daughter-in-law Cherry, the creative force behind Chand Begum Ke Jewels, work together but live separately! By Purabi Shridhar

LONG before independence the Bawa family of Peshawar had a successful jewellery business. Partition and relocation to Delhi saw the business die out. When Harjinder, who moved to Delhi from Peshawar as a child post-partition, married into the Bawa family, heard about it all, she decided to revive the legacy. And she did. Today, Chand Begum Ke Jewels is a name to reckon with in the Indian and international market for traditional, exclusive jewellery.

Daughter-in-law Cherry Bawa who shares the same passion for beautiful pieces of jewellery ably assists Harjinder.
