Our Heritage pieces are truly one-of-a-kind treasures, each one carefully curated for its exceptional craftsmanship, provenance, and character. These pieces are selected with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring they embody the timeless elegance and cultural richness that define our collection. Because every Heritage item is unique, only a single piece is available, making each acquisition a rare and meaningful addition to any collection.
Each Heritage item is entirely handcrafted using centuries-old techniques that are deeply rooted in India’s rich jewellery traditions. Every piece is thoroughly inspected and expertly fitted by us to ensure it meets the standards of contemporary wear. Together with the client, we review whether any custom adjustments are desired, ensuring the piece aligns perfectly with modern comfort while preserving its historical integrity.
Heritage pieces are delicate and need to be handled with care. Please store your jewellery in the supplied pouches and cases, to prevent them from scratching.
Please avoid contact with water, perfume, other liquids or strong substances.
When not worn, we strongly advise jewellery from our Collections to be stored in the supplied pouch and cases. With the exception of enamelled surfaces, your jewellery can be cleaned with a soft toothbrush and soft jewellery polishing cloth. Avoid any soap
