As a resin artist, I feel honored to preserve sacred wedding rituals. This teakwood frame holds the traditional Maharashtrian Mundavalya, Nath, and Supari, all nestled among the couple's real wedding flowers. It’s a way to keep these beautiful traditions close to your heart.

About this collection

Preserving heavy ornaments like kaleeras or mundavalya is a delicate process. I do not just pour resin over these items. I spend extra time preparing the base and positioning each piece so that heavy metal components do not sink or create air bubbles, ensuring every bead remains visible exactly as it was on your wedding day.

When you entrust me with your wedding ornaments, you are not just sending accessories, you are sending pieces of your heritage. Whether it is the traditional Maharashtrian Mundavalya, a bridal Sehra, or the intricate kaleeras from your wedding day, my goal is to freeze these moments in a way that respects their history.

Why Preservation Matters

Many couples leave these items in a box, where they eventually tarnish or get lost. By encasing them in high-quality, UV-resistant epoxy resin, I create a durable, clear shield. This protects the gold polish from oxidation and keeps delicate pearls or fabric threads safe from dust and humidity.

How I Work With Your Heirlooms

  1. Inspection: Before I start, I check the structural integrity of your items. If a kaleera has loose beads or a thread is fraying, I carefully stabilize it.
  2. Layout Planning: I offer two main presentation styles. We can use a solid Teakwood frame for a warm, classic look where the ornaments float in a deeper space, or a frameless resin block for a modern, 360-degree view.
  3. The Pour: Resin creates heat as it cures. Because jewelry often involves metal, glue, and different materials, I use a slow-curing technique to prevent cracks or yellowing, ensuring the piece remains crystal clear for years.

Caring for Your Keepsake

Once cured, these frames are sturdy. I recommend keeping them away from direct, harsh sunlight to maintain the vibrancy of any preserved flowers included alongside the ornaments. If you are sending your items from outside Mumbai, I provide detailed packing instructions to ensure your precious pieces arrive at my studio safely.
