About Handcrafted Indian Jewellery
Why Handmade Matters to Me
Every piece I make is a story - not just an object. Whether I’m painting Maa Durga’s face or molding clay, I pour in memories from family, festivals, and tradition. Handmade, for me, means exclusive, heartfelt, and deeply rooted in our culture.
My Collections
I take inspiration from classic Indian art forms and turn them into wearable pieces:
- Miniature Paintings on Wood: Each pendant is like a tiny canvas. I bring alive divine faces, Theyyam, Ganjifa, Kerala Mural motifs, and sometimes even glue actual Kalamkari fabric for texture. These Indian miniature jewellery pieces are perfect for anyone wanting something different.
- Tanjore Art Jewellery: My signature collection, with gesso work and real Tanjore gold foil sealed under resin. Motifs like Gandaberunda, the Mysore royal bird, give it that regal touch.
- Terracotta Necklace Sets: Making these is pure joy. I work with clay - knead, mold, bake, then hand-paint. The results are earthy, vibrant, and suit every age.
- Kalamkari Pendant & Fabric Mixes: I love using GI-tagged textiles like Kalamkari and Kutch embroidery. Sometimes I’ll upcycle, like turning wooden combs into hand-painted necklaces.
How Long Does It Take?
A miniature pendant on wood can take me up to 15 days. It’s slow, detailed work, but that’s what makes each piece unique.
Customisation & Personal Touch
I make custom pieces all the time. If you want something personal, or missed a sold-out design, just ask. My favourite was a matching peacock set for a mom and her girls.
Earth-Friendly Promise
I try to stick to natural, eco-friendly materials. My packaging is sturdy and reusable too. Handmade, customised, and earthy - that’s my motto.

My Story
I think I got my 'artsy genes' from my mom, and my love for plants from my dad. If you ask me, my dream holiday is just sun, sand, and sea. All these bits of me somehow slip into what I make. Traditions like Theyyam and Bhoota Kola, painting Maa Durga’s face – it’s almost magical how the past feels alive. Been doing this for 11 years. It started alone, but honestly, it’s all of you who keep me going. Forever grateful.
My Work
Handmade, Custom Jewellery & Decor - I make earthy, hand-painted terracotta jewellery, wood pieces, and customised Nandi home decor. Even fabrics get a touch sometimes.
Inspired by Indian Traditions - Kalamkari and Kantha embroidery, Theyyam, Tanjore art – I try to bring these stories alive in every piece.
The Process Matters - Miniature painting can take weeks. Clay, gold foil, wood – each piece is slow-made, with care and ideas, not just quick product.
Personal Touch - Love making pieces just for you. Like a set of peacock pendants for a mum and her girls, or a simple boho-chic set for daily wear.
