Mixed Heritage

Discover our handcrafted mixed heritage — heritage-inspired fashion jewellery, designed and made in Jaipur.

When two traditions meet on one bench.

The technique

The Mixed collection is what happens when a single piece combines two or more techniques — Kundan-and-Meenakari on the same bridal choker, Polki-and-temple-work on a single maang tikka, Rajputi layout with Kundan stone-setting. These are the pieces that take longest to make because they pass through more bench specialists.

A typical Mixed piece spends a week at the Kundan setter's bench, another week with the meena painter, three days at the kiln, then back to the gold-plater for the final polish. Six weeks for a complex bridal set is realistic.

What to wear it with. Mixed pieces work hardest on photo-heavy occasions where the close-up matters — reception, engagement, formal portrait. The detail rewards a second look; a guest at the same wedding will see something new in the piece when they sit next to you at the dinner table.

Provenance note. Every Mixed piece is documented per-technique on the product page — which artisan did which step, what materials, what firing temperature. We have receipts for every claim. (See our NO-CHEATING rule.)

Six weeks. Two techniques. One bride.
