Ravi Jetshan (Ravior) has been a jewelry maker since 1982, and he presented some of his work at the recent PechaKucha Night in Mauritius Vol. 2. That city’s organizer, Stephen Ng, writes this about Ravi:
Volume 2 was certainly highlighted by Ravior, a jewelry making company led by Ravi Jetshan since 1982 — “or” means gold in French and in Creole, Mauritius’ very own dialect that Ravi uses when naming some of his collections.
One thing you’ll soon realize with Ravi is that he really holds a lot of affection towards his culture, his tradition, his country, and he perfectly translates all of that through his designs. Add to this the fact that he has traveled the world and speaks six languages — the audience at Vol. 2 could well understand how the man delivers such great creativity, innovation, and attention to detail.
“The success of Ravior is essentially the product of fine-tuned teamwork by groomed professionals equipped with multiple skills reinforced by continuous advanced training. Rigour in craft and skill is the key to quality production for each and every jewellery piece, all this driven by professional and civic ethics.”
This was taken from www.ravior.com, where more of his collections can be viewed.
At the start of his presentation this is what Ravi had to say in Creole:
“Ene le monde sans bijou, c’est ene ene le monde sans lamour.” Literally, a world without jewelry is a world without love…
