Splash into Karina Choudhrie’s Collection of Underwater Circus Performers
The designer brought her children’s book, “The Big Splash Circus,” to life through a collection of playful fine jewelry characters.

Modeled after the 12 characters in “The Big Splash Circus,” a children’s book Choudhrie wrote and illustrated in 2020, the collection features miniature charm sculptures inspired by the troupe of performers in the story.
The characters range from seahorses to jellyfish, dolphins, and turtles—all sea creatures that formed a whimsical travelling circus in the ocean.
Each of the characters were designed and developed at the brand’s atelier and took more than six years to craft, because the pieces are not simply jewelry or sculptures, but functioning pieces.
The moral of Choudhrie’s story is that “we all have our own special unique talents, and you should not compare yours with others,” said the namesake brand.
“At its core, The Big Splash Circus [collection] is about self-expression. It’s a celebration of individuality, creativity, and the joy of storytelling through fine jewelry,” said Choudhrie.
“Each charm is more than an accessory—it’s a statement, a reflection of personality, and a true collector’s piece.”

Throughout the collection there are about 25 charms, along with cords, chains, pins, and earring studs, which range from $1,500 to more than $10,000.
There are three variations for each of the 12 characters—an entry level piece, a mid-tier option, and a full pavé luxury version—in 18-karat yellow, white, or rose gold with a selection of diamonds and colored gemstones.
For this collection, the brand collaborated with an Italian atelier to create silk cords that the charms can be clipped onto. There are also gold chains, multi-sapphire chains, and beaded chains available.
Six of the 12 characters launched with the collection at Couture earlier this month.
The remaining six characters are slated to be released in 2026.
The Big Splash Circus collection will be available soon on the Karina Choudhrie website.
The Big Splash Circus book is available on Amazon for £14.99 ($20.42) for a hardcover version.
