Nature’s Muse: Birds & Blooms Jewellery Collection

My process begins with observation. Whether I am trekking or simply spending time in my Mumbai studio, I look for textures that can be translated into gold. The 'Birds & Blooms' collection is a result of translating these organic shapes into my signature 'Chantilly Lace' woven gold.

The Technique Behind the Blooms

I hand-weave 18k gold wire to mimic the softness of fabric. This filigree work allows me to create high-relief, three-dimensional structures—like the cherry blossoms wrapping around a finger or the wings of a butterfly—that feel solid yet look transparent. It is a slow, meditative process. No two pieces are identical because each floral motif is shaped by hand.

Working with Colour

To bring these nature-inspired designs to life, I integrate ethically sourced gemstones. I prefer the deep, vibrant hues of Zambian emeralds and Mozambique rubies, often using them in their raw, sugarloaf, or cabochon cuts to retain their natural character. When paired with the matte and mirror-finish textures of my gold work, these stones create a visual contrast that mimics the interplay of light in a forest.

If you are looking for a specific custom piece, such as a swivel ring featuring a particular bird or a pair of floral earrings that match your style, I am happy to consult with you one-on-one. We can discuss the gold weight, gemstone selection, and the final look to ensure the piece feels like a natural extension of yourself.
