Nishu has been a jewellery and ornament designer all her life! More than just a career, it’s her very identity.      Born in India, then raised in Tanzania (Africa), she was educated in England, Switzerland and Spain,where she met her future husband: an Argentinian, the father of her 19-year-old son. She now lives in Paris.      Nishu’s career got started as something of a joke between students. At the age when everything is possible, she started making jewellery from leather and sea shells, which she and her husband would then sell on the beaches of Costa Brava in Spain.

    In the fall of 1979, together with a partner, Nishu created a company called SILKY SATIN which for the next ten years was remarkably successful throughout France, Europe and also in the United States. 

    At the height of her career, Nishu stepped away from the world of fashion to give precedence to her personal life. During this period, she spent much of her time working on the interior design and also the landscape design of her superb house on the Montpellier coast of France. 

    Nevertheless, whenever she had a spare moment, Nishu continued to make jewellery for fun. Then in 1994, she decided to found a new company called ENKA. Her first collections were so successful, that she decided to leave her home on the Mediterranean coast, to return to Paris in the spring of 1997. 

    The ENKA atelier is located on the romantic Left Bank of Paris, not far from the Jardin des Plantes and  the Quartier Latin, with easy access to the Prêt-a-Porter fashion Salons where Nishu exhibits her wares twice a year. Her jewellery can be found in highly fashionable stores, such as Le Bon Marché, and a  number of boutiques on the trendy Rue du Four.
