Blue
Pottery
“Blue Pottery is a traditional craft of Jaipur. A piece of blue pottery jewelry find it's roots in 14th century. It was revived by Maharajah Sawai Ram Singh II in the 19th century.”
The Sketch.
Living in Jaipur means living inside a museum that never closes — colour and craft are simply in the air I breathe. One afternoon, I sat with a Blue Pottery vase and found myself tracing its patterns with my fingertip before I even reached for a sketchbook. I began drawing — florals, geometric loops, the symmetry that Jaipur's potters have carried for centuries.
The Finding the Right Scale.
Blue pottery pieces are usually made large and decorative.Turning them into wearable jewellery meant starting all over again, at a smaller scale. We searched, tested, and kept refining until the form began to feel just right.
The Mould making and iteration.
This stage was full of trial, error, and patience.Many moulds did not work the way we hoped, but each failure taught us something new. Slowly, the process became clearer, and the tiny forms started taking shape.
The Choosing the colors.
The colors came from the traditional palette of Jaipur blue pottery itself.We wanted the collection to feel rooted in the craft, not just inspired by it. So every shade was chosen to carry that familiar, timeless spirit.
The Jewelry design.
Once the motifs were ready, the next step was to build the jewellery around them. We had to find the right balance between beauty, wearability, and structure. Each piece was designed to let the motif breathe and still feel complete.
The Finish.
We experimented with silver and brass finishes before settling on silver polish. It felt cleaner, softer, and more aligned with the final look we wanted. This step gave the jewellery its final quiet elegance.
An heirloom,
at last.
90+ days, countless iterations, a single piece. It will outlive us — and that, exactly, is the point.
