Pineapple Seed is a cooperative effort between Nathiya and her husband, Soraj Prathnadi.

Nathiya, who studied fashion loves to travel, garden and take Tibetan Thanka painting classes. Soraj, who studied illustration was once a graphic designer but now has a career in high tech.

"The philosophy throughout my jewelry design is based on a need to create artistic pieces that work within all the aspects of my life.

I want to create and wear jewelry that is simple enough to coordinate with any activity – yoga, work, or an evening out.  Yet I aim for that simplicity to effectively express a distinctive personal style, and communicate a sense of culture and personal beliefs."
