the moi muse

About Moi
Our Inspiration
We pronounce this as “mo-yee”, this beautiful word- Moi, which means “me” in French. A collection of fine jewelry created for the women we are, for the women we are becoming and for the ones we admire.
Moi embodies the timeless qualities of simple elegance, the luxury of the handmade, the power and connection of storytelling through jewellery, filtered through India’s rich and varied history.

Annie Shi
M - How would you introduce yourself?
A - Wine lover, drink peddler, jack of all trades. NYC born and bred.
M - What draws you to fine jewelry?
A - I am always running around and don’t have a ton of time in my day to think about the jewelry I put on. What I love about fine jewelry that I like to wear is that it’s something that you can put on and never take off. It really can become a part of who you are.
M - Is fine jewelry part of your lifestyle? Everyday?
A - I have the pieces that I wear constantly and never take off and then the pieces that are bold and statement - easy to make a decision about and plan your outfit around.
M - What do you think caught your attention in our jewelry?
A - The colors! It’s so hard to do colors in jewlery well, but the combination of stones and other materials is exquisite.


Julie Grau
M - How would you introduce yourself?
J - A believer in the power of the written word to expand our view of humanity
and to inspire us to make change.
Also, I am a New Yorker, the mother of two boys and three big, white, fluffy
rescue dogs, a grateful daughter, a steadfast sister, and fortunate to be in love
with the man I married, who makes me laugh every day.
M - What are 2 words that best describe you?
J - According to my husband, curious and caring. And fun. That’s three.
M - What draws you to fine jewelry?
J - The story behind it. Who made it, who gave it, why it is precious.
M - Is fine jewelry part of your lifestyle? Everyday?
J - Once something earns its place on my person, it doesn’t come off. I wear a
stack of delicate gold rings that my sisters gave me over the years. The gold is
soft and worn down to a shine, the precious yellow and pink sapphires a little
worse for the wear, but I love them more with each passing ding. I look at
them and connect instantly to my sisters, like a dose of oxytocin. On my left
hand, I wear a simple platinum wedding band, also marked by time, and a
first anniversary ring that my husband had made for me with diamonds that
were the gift of a beloved friend. The diamonds came from a pair of earrings
that had traveled across centuries and continents--they had once belonged to
her Hungarian grandmother--and the gesture of her giving them to me was
monumental. The diamonds, from a lost world, to my untrained eye, seem
remarkable, distinctive, maybe hand cut. But it’s the story of their
provenance that moves me--and how history, friendship, and love come
together in this precious ring on my finger. Jewelry that comes with a
backstory is so beautifully potent.
M - What do you think caught your attention in our jewelry?
J - The sense of color, the vibrance, the fine, hand-crafted details--and that it is
rooted in a place with a heritage of making objects of exquisite beauty and
honoring the touch of the creator.


Pavia Rosati
M - How would you introduce yourself?
P - I’m a world-curious explorer who loves coming home, especially when home is filled with good friends and excellent conversations.
M - What are 2 words that best describe you?
P - Exuberant and giving.
M - What draws you to fine jewelry?
P - The artistry of the designs and the feelings it evokes — beauty, nostalgia, history, love.
M - Is fine jewelry part of your lifestyle? Everyday?
P - Absolutely. I have special pieces that I rotate, along with a few that I wear almost daily, like my mother’s wedding band and a thin gold necklace I’ve worn since I was 15.
M - What do you think caught your attention in our jewelry?
P - The pieces are at once strong and delightful, which may be the very definition of beauty.


Simoul Alva
M - How would you introduce yourself?
S - I am a visual designer based in New York.
M - What draws you to fine jewelry?
S - The look and feel of it
M - Is fine jewelry part of your lifestyle? Everyday?
S - On special occasions. I like earrings.
M - What do you think caught your attention in our jewelry?
S - I like how delicate and intricate the pieces are.


Rymn Massand
M - How would you introduce yourself?
R - Creative consultant, travel writer, reader, book designer, occasional travel editor, happiest enroute to somewhere.
M - What are 2 words that best describe you?
R - Witty and energetic. My friends would say Funny, bossy and generous.. My son would say strict and warm. I think they all fit.
M - What draws you to fine jewelry?
R - A sense of a story. I like to imagine where this precious object fits into a narrative, and of course how it makes me feel. Precious stones make me feel like I need to take care of them, and adapt my mannerisms to that elegance and grace.
M - Is fine jewelry part of your lifestyle? Everyday?
R - Like anything else, I believe we should enjoy our fineries daily. I wear a wristfull of delicate gold bracelets ( that I have collected over the years) every single day. Eat off your best plates, bring out the good wine every evening, wear your nicest dresses, enjoy the gilded teacups. Small moments of beauty are what make life richer.
M - What do you think caught your attention in our jewelry?
R - I like the lack of fussiness, the small details that make it precious and how easily wearable the pieces are.
M - How do you feel when you wear our jewelry?
R - More elegant, more finessed.


Sara Singh
M - How would you introduce yourself?
S - I’m a visual person and I’m always searching for beauty and balance,
whatever the context. I’m continuously processing color, light, materials and texture.
M - What are 2 words that best describe you?
S - Visual explorer
M - What draws you to fine jewelry?
S - The permanence of it perhaps. Fine jewelry can write its own timeline and
co-exist with and then beyond trends. I’m always drawn to places that, even
if they are modern, have old architecture intact to tell the story of the place.
M - Is fine jewelry part of your lifestyle? Everyday?
S - I inherited my grandmother’s gold bangles. I always wear them and they
only come off at security check points at airports. I don’t think my
grandmother ever took them off. Like me, she liked to travel and lived in
many different countries. The subtle clang of the bangles became the
soundtrack of her life. And the ring looks great with them!
M - What do you think caught your attention in our jewelry?
S - The pieces remind me of travel to far away destinations, beautiful old
buildings and gardens. More now than ever, while we can’t travel, I long for
the magic of walking through bazaars of antiques and vintage finds. this
jewelry reminds me of that feeling. Treasure hunting comes to mind.
