THE MAKERS

THE ART OF SILVERSMITHING IN INDIA IS DEEPLY ROOTED AND HIGHLY RESPECTED. THIS VOCATION IS PASSED DOWN FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION, OFTEN WITHIN THE SAME FAMILIES FOR CENTURIES. INDIAN SILVERSMITHS, PARTICULARLY IN REGIONS LIKE RAJASTHAN, ARE REGARDED AS THE CUSTODIANS OF A UNIQUE CULTURAL HERITAGE, PRESERVING ANCIENT TECHNIQUES, AGE-OLD SYMBOLS, AND A SIGNATURE THAT IS INTEGRAL TO THE ARTISTIC IDENTITY OF THEIR COMMUNITY AND THEIR TRADITION OF HANDCRAFTED JEWELRY.

Our Partnerships 

Our story begins with partnerships that truly matter. From the very start, Shankar and Manas have been key allies, joining us for reasons we may never fully define but that we deeply cherish. Life brought us together, guided by the spirit of this land, and it was no coincidence: we form a strong and complementary team committed to handcrafted jewelry.

Their collaboration has been essential to our growth. We prioritize the human aspect of our business; our partners are not just names on a screen, but friends and integral members of our extended family who share our passion for handcrafted jewelry.

In Rajasthan, silversmithing is more than a craft; it is a legacy. Our creations are inseparable from their makers—the guardians of these traditions who contribute significantly to the local economy through handcrafted jewelry. Generations have preserved these ancient techniques, and we are proud to work with these artisans who bring our visions to life.

Workshop in Pushkar 

Shankar and his three brothers led our second workshop in Pushkar. The Nath brothers live in Pee, only 16 kilometers from Pushkar. This workspace, filled with natural light, ensures fair wages, security, and support for their families. Their work hours, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., provide valuable flexibility along with holidays, breaks, and bonuses. Shankar has worked with the Nath brothers since their teenage years, and today they are like an extended family, celebrating the festivities of both clans together. These loyal allies produce high-quality work, and their commitment is reflected in every piece of handcrafted jewelry.

Workshop in Jaipur 

In Jaipur, several workshops are led by Manas and his teams, made up largely of intergenerational families. These safe spaces, bathed in natural light, provide fair wages, flexibility, and nurture family bonds, creating a fulfilling environment for handcrafted jewelry. This dedication is reflected in every piece that comes to life here.

Balancing Tradition and Modernity 

We incorporate modern technology for specific designs to bring our visions to life. 3D design allows us to stay true to our aesthetic while enabling larger-scale production and meeting practical needs for specific handcrafted jewelry pieces. We can create precise digital prototypes through advanced modeling software, allowing us to experiment with different shapes, textures, and finishes before production. This approach also allows us to optimize the structure of the pieces to ensure durability and comfort, while reducing material waste. Thus, 3D design enables us to merge innovation with traditional craftsmanship while expanding our product range in handcrafted jewelry.

Ethical Impact 

The art of silversmithing in India is deeply rooted and highly respected. This vocation is passed down from generation to generation, often within the same families for centuries. Indian silversmiths, particularly in regions like Rajasthan, are regarded as the custodians of a unique cultural heritage, preserving ancient techniques, age-old symbols, and a signature integral to their community's artistic identity and their handcrafted jewelry heritage.

Mastery of complex artisanal techniques is at the heart of this craft. Artisans work by hand, perfecting their precision through years of dedicated practice. Techniques such as chiseling, granulation, and engraving are performed with meticulous attention to detail, giving each piece an exceptional quality true to handcrafted jewelry.

We prioritize environmentally friendly practices at every stage, using recycled or recyclable metals and low-impact processes for handcrafted jewelry. Far from industrial production, our approach values authenticity, patience, and a commitment to human values. Each piece is crafted in Rajasthan, India, imported to Canada, and then carefully packaged in minimalistic, eco-friendly packaging at our workshop on the South Shore of Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
