Hand-Painted Terracotta Jewellery Collections
I craft every piece here from natural baked clay, drawing inspiration from Indian folk art traditions like Warli and Jamini Roy to bring a bit of color to your everyday style.
This artistic peacock necklace is one of my signature creations, a piece I am incredibly proud of. I meticulously sculpt and paint each feather detail with metallic hues to create a vibrant, textured look. The set includes matching jhumka earrings, making it a complete statement piece for any celebration.
I pour my heart and devotion into these hand-painted pendants. This piece features the serene face of a goddess, detailed with traditional motifs, making it perfect for festive occasions or as a piece of wearable art. The necklace is strung with terracotta beads that complement the pendant.
For a modern take on traditional designs, I created this two-layer necklace inspired by the classic 'gini haar'. The mirrored terracotta coins are lightweight and catch the light beautifully, offering a chic and contemporary look. It is paired with simple, matching coin-style earrings.
See the unique 3D effect on my Warli art necklaces. In this video, I'm holding a piece where the dancing figures are not just painted but raised from the surface, creating a texture you can feel. This red and white set is a tribute to traditional Indian folk art.
I love playing with colors, and this multi-layered floral necklace is a celebration of that joy. The design features four rectangular pendants adorned with 3D multicolor flowers, creating a vibrant cascade effect. It’s a cheerful piece that comes with cute, matching jhumkas.
Inspired by the grandeur of South Indian temple jewelry, this Mahalakshmi motif necklace is designed for special occasions. I use an antique gold finish and green accents to give it an authentic, ethnic feel. The set is completed with matching goddess-motif earrings.
This is my 'hansli' or collar-style necklace, designed to sit elegantly on the neckline for a bold, modern statement. The deep blue is accented with delicate gold patterns, and the set includes a hanging jhumka and matching half-moon earrings.
Hello everyone. Join me in one of my live sessions where I share my latest collections and the stories behind them. Here, I talk about my process, the different art forms that inspire me like Jamini Roy and Warli, and show you the intricate details of each handmade piece.
This feather-pendant necklace is one of my more bohemian designs. I hand-paint each segment with intricate, colorful patterns, and the matching beads add a playful touch. It’s a unique piece for anyone who loves artistic and free-spirited jewelry.
This piece is a celebration of love, featuring a hand-painted depiction of Radha and Krishna in the Madhubani style. I use a vibrant palette on a circular terracotta pendant, complemented by colorful beads. It’s a piece of art that tells a timeless story.
About Featured
Every necklace you see here comes with an adjustable cotton thread. You can slide the bead to fit it exactly where you want, whether you are pairing it with a deep-neck blouse or a high-collar kurti. It saves you from worrying about whether the piece will sit right on your neckline.
My process starts with raw, natural clay. I shape, bake, and hand-paint every single piece in my Bengaluru studio. Because I work with terracotta, the jewelry is lightweight, eco-friendly, and has that signature rustic charm you just cannot get with factory-made accessories.
I pull my design inspiration from art forms I love—Jamini Roy’s expressive faces, Warli’s rhythmic dancers, and the intricate, storytelling details of Pichwai and Madhubani. For weddings and festivals, I create 3D relief pieces with antique gold or copper finishes. These feel heavier, grander, and are designed to stand out.
A quick note on care: while the clay is kiln-baked and sturdy, it is essentially earth. Please keep your pieces away from direct water contact and handle them with care to avoid drops. Every order is packed carefully, but since I am a small artist, I do not offer returns or refunds. I only provide exchanges for transit damage, provided you send me an unedited opening video of your parcel within the required time. If you have questions about a specific design or need a custom color combination, just drop me a message and I will help you pick the right one.
