Blue
Pottery
“Jaipur Blue Pottery is a centuries-old craft that reflects a remarkable journey across cultures. Originating in Persia and Iraq, the technique traveled to China around the 9th century before finding its way to India. In the 19th century, it was revived and patronized by Maharaja Sawai Ram Singh II of Jaipur, becoming one of the city’s most celebrated artistic traditions.”
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 of 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 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.
Designing this collection was a journey of exploration. We experimented with countless motifs, shapes, and colour combinations before creating pieces that truly feel like Blue Pottery—celebrating an art form that keeps you rooted in tradition while allowing you to carry its beauty wherever you go.
An heirloom,
at last.
90+ days, countless iterations, handful pieces. It will outlive us — and that, exactly, is the point.
