When I work with delicate filigree or intricate nakshi embossing, I focus heavily on the underlying metal strength. This ensures that even the most ornate-looking necklaces are reinforced to withstand movement, so you can wear these traditional designs without worrying about them bending or losing their shape over time. Heritage craftsmanship is about more than just a traditional look; it is about preserving the skills that define our cultural identity. At Rianza, I keep these techniques alive by applying them to pieces that fit into a modern wardrobe. ### The Techniques I Use * **Filigree:** This involves twisting fine gold wires into lace-like patterns. It requires a steady hand and hours of patience, but the result is a piece that looks weightless yet remains sturdy. * **Nakshi Work:** I use this traditional embossing technique to create depth in gold, giving motifs a 3D effect that catches the light differently than standard polishing. * **Rajwadi Kundan:** For bridal sets, I focus on the authentic Rajwadi style, which relies on high-quality uncut stones and traditional meenakari work on the reverse side of the metal. ### Why Quality Matters All my heritage pieces are crafted in 18kt hallmarked gold. Whether it is a heavy bridal choker or a daily-wear pendant, I insist on using 18kt because it offers the perfect balance of durability and purity. It allows for the intricate detailing required in heritage work while ensuring the piece holds its value for generations. ### The Customisation Process If you have a design in mind or want to adapt a traditional heirloom look for a contemporary event, we start with a consultation. I sketch the concept, and once we finalize the details, I oversee the production in my workshop in Mumbai. Because I manage the entire process from metal sourcing to the final finish, I can ensure that every piece meets my standards for both design and long-term wearability. ## About Rianza I started Rianza to bridge the gap between heavy, unwearable heritage jewellery and the lightweight, practical needs of today. My family and team back me up as we transform 18kt gold into stories you can wear.
