India Hicks leads a beautiful, full and creative life.
Born into British royalty, she is the daughter of famous British interior designer David Hicks and Lady Pamela Mountbatten, (not to mention second cousin and goddaughter of Prince Charles). India made her debut on the world stage at age 13, as one of Princess Diana's bridesmaids.
A life filled with travel and adventure, she is recognised globally for her impeccable style, easy elegance and design sensibility.
India Hicks has been a top fashion model for Ralph Lauren and Tods amongst others, an entrepreneur who created a line for Crabtree and Evelyn and a TV personality. She is also a hotelier, an author and co-owner of the Sugar Mill Trading Co.
India and her family have lived for the past 11 years in a 1950's Bahamian beach house on Harbour Island, which is a mix of colonial and laid back island style. Just steps from the ocean, everything she does is based on island life. The Crabtree and Evelyn line involves flowers and plants indigenous to the Caribbean, her books are entitled 'Island Life' and 'Island Beauty' and she designed a collection of stunning vacation properties on Harbour Island, including boutique hotel, 'The Landing.'
Recently, India has introduced 3 new collections of fine jewelry, to reflect the diverse influences that define her life. Created in collaboration with the distinguished M. Suresh (one of the largest DeBeers site holders worldwide), they are destined to become signatures for stylish women worldwide.
Love Letters pay homage to the famous geometrics that launched her father's branded business. A distinctive collection of 18K gold, sterling silver and diamonds. Each love letter is one of a kind, the collection includes pendants, bracelets and cufflinks.
Pendants start from $115.
Island Life is a sea-inspired collection reflective of India's own love for Island life in the Bahamas, crafted from sterling silver and diamonds.

Hicks on Hicks is heavily inspired by her fathers famous hexagon pattern in a modern collection using iconic symbolism. Collection includes medallions, cufflinks, earrings and statement rings.
One cannot write a post on India Hicks, without pausing to dwell on the beauty of Harbour Island. It is truly a glamorous, celebrity-spotting, spectacular hideaway in the Bahamas. A bevy of boutique hotels include the antique-filled India Hicks retreat mentioned earlier, 'The Landing' and the ultra cool 'Rock House Hotel.' The main town on the island (only to be reached by water taxi), is Dunmore and boasts picture perfect pastel painted cottages with white picket fences.
The Vinyl fencing looks great the day it is installed and for decades to come without the worry of having to stain or waterproof it. It remains impervious to the elements all year long and only requires a quick spray with a hose or power washer to keep it clean.
