Hand-Painted Kerala Mural Jewellery
Wear a piece of art that carries a story. My hand-painted necklace sets combine traditional Kerala mural styles with lightweight, comfortable materials for your everyday wardrobe.
This Radha Krishna necklace set is one of my signature pieces, capturing divine love in bright, joyful colours. The hand-painted MDF pendant is complemented by matching wooden jhumkas, colourful pompoms, and brass embellishments, making it a complete work of wearable art.
Feel the power of the goddess with this Durga necklace set. I painted this piece to be bold and protective, using a strong red and yellow palette. The set includes a detailed MDF pendant with brass ghungroos, wooden jhumkas, and sacred rudraksha beads.
This piece, named 'Mamta', is a celebration of a mother's love. The hand-painted pendant shows a tender moment between mother and child, paired with matching wooden jhumkas and finished with delicate shells that add a soft, natural touch.
Here is a look at the variety of stories I love to tell through my art. This collection features four different hand-painted necklace sets, from the sacred Pichwai cow to the serene lotus flower, each with its own unique character and handcrafted details.
Every piece of my jewellery begins by hand. This video shows the very first step, where I sketch my designs directly onto the wooden jhumkas before the painting process begins. It is this attention to detail that makes each earring unique.
Here I am wearing my hand-painted Radha Krishna necklace set. I love seeing how my art comes to life when worn, transforming from a painting into a statement piece that complements your style. It brings me so much joy to create and wear them.
This vibrant necklace set features Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles. I used a deep blue background to make the colours pop. The set is completed with hand-painted wooden jhumkas and glass beads, perfect for auspicious beginnings.
About Featured
Every piece begins as a blank MDF base before I sketch and apply layers of acrylic paint, finishing with a high-gloss lacquer polish to make it splash-proof. Because I craft these entirely by hand, you will notice subtle variations in the brushstrokes, ensuring that the set you wear is truly unique.
My jewellery is not just an accessory; it is a wearable piece of art rooted in the traditional Kerala mural style. When you choose a set, you are wearing a piece that has been hand-sketched, painted, and finished by me. I use high-grade Medium Density Fibreboard (MDF) for the pendants to ensure they remain lightweight and comfortable for all-day wear. The painting process involves fine-brush acrylic work, capturing intricate details like the serene expressions of Radha Krishna, the protective gaze of Durga, or delicate floral motifs.
Each necklace set is designed to be versatile. You can pair them with a simple cotton sari for a workday or dress them up for an occasion. To keep them looking fresh, I finish each painted surface with a lacquer coating, which provides moisture resistance. I carefully assemble the strings using traditional elements like Rudraksha, glass beads, and brass ghungroos (bells) to complete the look.
