The well-traveled, talented Mousumi Shaw traverses the boundary between designer, anthropologist and businesswoman. She travels the world in search of contact with non-Western societies and traditional cultures, each with its own aesthetic and sensibility. She and her team of designers appropriate the best that each culture or tradition has to offer and recombines their elements to create one-of-a-kind, postmodern "World Fusion Jewelry" (a phrase trademarked by Sikara & Co.). The store's location on Newbury Street is sleek, upscale and very modern, with each season's collection professionally and lovingly displayed on tables or behind glass.
