Behind the Scenes: The Art of My Handmade Jewellery

Every piece of jewellery I make is a journey of ideation, creation, and patience. Here is a look inside my studio where clay, wood, and tradition come together.

Watch my terracotta jewels come alive. This is a story about mud that I knead, mold, and bake. Each piece is then hand-painted with care, so you get to wear a story that’s handmade just for you.

This is the first step in creating my golden jewellery. I carefully apply real gold foil over the embossed gesso design. It's a delicate process that brings a unique, fascinating texture to each piece.

After applying the gold leaf, the real artistry begins. I use fine brushes to enhance the design with vibrant colors and intricate outlines, giving the pendant a beautiful three-dimensional effect.

Many think painting on a small canvas is easier, but it requires immense precision and skill. This video shows the intricate brushwork needed to create the details on a miniature painting of a royal elephant.

I source beautiful, GI-tagged textiles like Kalamkari from Andhra and Kutch embroidery from Gujarat to create these unique fabric pendants. It’s my way of celebrating and preserving India's rich textile heritage in my jewellery.

I believe in giving beautiful objects a new life. Here, I've transformed a simple wooden comb into a vibrant, hand-painted statement necklace. This is my vision of sustainable, wearable art.

This is the magic of handmade art. I love showing how a simple clay form of Maa Durga is transformed with careful painting and detailing into a piece full of divine glory. It’s a spiritual experience for me every single time.

Here's how my school lessons in zoology and botany help my art. I start with a simple sketch of an owl, add floral borders, and then bring it to life with Madhubani-style painting.

About Behind the Art: My Creative Process

Many ask why I don't produce my work in bulk, but it is because a single miniature-painted wooden pendant can take me 15 days to complete, from the initial sketch to the final varnishing. When you reach out, you are not just buying an accessory, you are joining a slow, intentional process that respects the craft.
