About Contemporary Ethnic & Gifting Jewellery
Why Our Jewellery Feels Different
I mix classic ethnic vibes with a fresh, modern twist. From protective evil eye charm jewellery to modern mangalsutra styles, each piece is made for your story - not just tradition for tradition’s sake. You won't find old-school, heavy sets here. My designs are light, bold, and easy to wear every day.
What’s in the Collection
- Modern mangalsutra styles that work at the office, on a night out, or even for video calls with the fam.
- Evil eye charm jewellery and hamsa hand pieces - think minimal rings, layered necklaces, and statement bracelets for that little nazar ka protection (protection from evil eye) with style.
- Designer rakhi bracelet options your sibling will actually want to wear, even after Raksha Bandhan - not just for the festival.
Made for Real Life
Jewellery isn’t meant to sit in a box. Mine is pakka waterproof (definitely waterproof) and anti-tarnish - shower, swim, wash, no worries. Stainless steel base and solid plating means it stands up to daily hustle. Bonus: It’s hypoallergenic, so sensitive skin isn’t an issue.
Gifting and Personal Touch
Trying to find that perfect gift? I make personalized ethnic gift jewellery - initials, names, or custom charms. Each piece comes in pretty packaging, so it’s ready for gifting or that Insta-worthy unboxing. Mix and match charms, build your own look, and make it totally yours.
