ILA

History

ILA's designers trace their roots in jewelry back to their ancestral homeland in the north western deserts of India. Their homeland is a place enchanted by history, mysticism and beauty and is where the edifices of their family lineage, called a Haveli, still stand today. The walls of the Havelis were carved with the most skilled hand to tell stories of mythology of the land. It is these stories and their trips back to India that continue to inspire their collections. From an early age Vikas developed a fascination with the balance of simplicity and purpose in design. With an engineering degree from MIT, Vikas nurtured a nonconformist approach that merges fashion, engineering, and design. Ila tempers Vikas' approach with beauty and softness that was instilled by their mother an FIT graduate of textile design and by her 8 years of experience designing high end bridal jewelry.

Specialties

ILA is a design collaboration between brother and sister Vikas and Ila Sodhani. The eponymous collection was launched in 2007 and was quickly selected by Saks Fifth Avenue, Lane Crawford, and ABC Carpet and Home, amongst other international retailers. We specialize in fine jewelry designed with real diamonds, sapphires, emeralds and rubies. We pride ourselves in using responsibly mined stones and recycled gold. We do custom designs, bridal and seasonal collections.
