Hand-Painted Fabric Jewelry Sets
I turn fabric into wearable stories, hand-painting every motif myself on cotton and linen canvases. These featured sets are designed to bring a touch of traditional Indian art into your daily style.
This statement necklace set is a perfect example of my craft. It combines hand-painted fabric in bold red and black with intricate patterns and is embellished with natural cowrie shells for a distinct tribal-boho feel. The matching earrings complete this lightweight, wearable art piece.
Inspired by the divine feminine, this 'Maa' necklace set is hand-painted on a fabric canvas. The design captures the serene yet powerful essence of Durga, set against a vibrant red and yellow background. It's a piece of spiritual art you can wear, paired with delicate matching earrings.
This set celebrates the simplicity and charm of Warli folk art. I hand-paint the traditional motifs, depicting scenes of tribal life, onto a bright pink fabric base. The necklace and matching earrings are incredibly light and tell a story of community and culture.
Here, I've blended traditional Kalamkari print fabric with natural cowrie shells and oxidized metal charms. The rectangular pendant creates a modern silhouette, while the materials give it an earthy, ethnic feel. The matching earrings feature ghungroo details for a subtle sound.
This piece showcases the beauty of Ikat fabric in a contemporary design. The vibrant red and yellow threads of the adjustable cord complement the hand-painted pendant, which is accented with wooden beads and jute tassels. It's a perfect example of a modern ethnic accessory.
For those who love bold, geometric designs, this set features a patchwork of hand-painted patterns on fabric. The vibrant orange and red are balanced by black and white details, with thread tassels adding texture and movement. This is a contemporary take on handcrafted jewelry.
A quick look at some of my available handmade fabric neckpieces. This video shows the variety in my collection, from hand-painted Durga and Warli art sets to tribal-inspired designs with shells and beads. Each piece is crafted to be colorful, unique, and comfortable to wear.
About Featured
Because I use stiffened mount board cores, these pieces offer a bold, large surface area without the neck strain of metal jewelry. Each set includes an adjustable cotton dori, giving you the flexibility to wear them as a choker or a longer necklace depending on your neckline.
My Creative Process
My creative process begins with selecting high-quality cotton or linen. I then hand-paint each motif using acrylics, drawing inspiration from traditional Indian art forms like Warli, Pichwai, and the expressive faces of Durga. To add texture, I often incorporate cowrie shells, wooden beads, or ghungroos.
Why I Choose Fabric
I moved away from heavy metal accessories because I believe jewelry should be an extension of your personality, not a physical burden. These sets are skin-friendly, sustainable, and designed for long-wear comfort, whether you are at the office or attending a festive event.
Care and Customization
How to care for your jewelry
Keep these pieces away from water and perfume to protect the paint. Since they are fabric-based, store them in a dry, cool place to keep the colors vibrant.
Ordering for events
I am happy to handle bulk orders for festive gifting or boutiques. If you have a specific color theme or art style in mind that you do not see here, feel free to message me. I often take on custom work to match specific outfits.
