“Wear the Heritage of India, One State at a Time.”

Each piece of jewelry reflects the rich cultural heritage of its state in India. From the intricate Rajasthani designs and mirror work of Gujarat to the clay crafts of Uttar Pradesh and traditional Thakarayan art of Maharashtra, every ornament tells a unique story. These aren’t just accessories—they are a celebration of India’s craftsmanship, history, and regional artistry.

Handmade jewellery is a beautiful blend of artistry and craftsmanship, created entirely by skilled artisans instead of factory machines. Each necklace, bracelet, earring, or ring is carefully designed and shaped using techniques like wire-wrapping, metal-smithing, beading, or resin casting, making every piece truly unique and one-of-a-kind. Crafted with high-quality materials such as sterling silver, gold, natural gemstones, and recycled metals, handmade jewellery reflects creativity, style, and attention to detail. Many makers focus on ethical and sustainable practices, offering eco-friendly accessories that are perfect for conscious fashion lovers. Whether you prefer bohemian, minimalist, or elegant designs, handmade jewellery is more than an accessory—it’s a personal statement that supports small businesses and celebrates the timeless art of artisan jewellery.

  1. Beaded Jewellery
    Crafted with vibrant glass beads, seed beads, crystals, and natural gemstones, this handmade jewellery style is perfect for colourful bracelets, elegant necklaces, and stylish earrings that suit both casual and festive looks.

  2. Materials Needed                   

    Beads

    • Glass beads (seed beads, Czech glass, lampwork)

    • Gemstone beads (amethyst, turquoise, jade, quartz, onyx)

    • Crystal beads (Swarovski, cut-glass crystals)

    • Metal beads (gold-plated, silver, brass, copper)

    • Wooden beads (sandalwood, bamboo, coconut shell)

    • Pearl beads (freshwater pearls, imitation pearls)

    • Clay or polymer beads

    • Acrylic or resin beads

    Stringing Materials

    • Elastic cord (0.5–1 mm stretch cord)

    • Nylon or silk thread (for knotting pearls or gemstones)

    • Beading wire (tiger tail, stainless steel coated)

    • Leather or cotton cord

    • Fishing line/monofilament

    Findings & Components

    • Clasps (lobster, toggle, magnetic, hook-and-eye)

    • Crimp beads/tubes

    • Jump rings and split rings

    • Spacer beads and bead caps

    • Headpins and eye pins

    • Earring hooks and posts

    Tools & Extras

    • Beading needles

    • Round-nose pliers, flat-nose pliers, wire cutters

    • Jewellery glue or clear epoxy for added strength

Step-by-Step Process

  1. Design & Layout
    Plan your beaded jewellery design by arranging beads on a bead board or flat surface. Decide the pattern, colour scheme, and desired length for your bracelet, necklace, or anklet.

  2. Measure & Cut String
    Cut the elastic cord or beading wire at least 4–6 cm longer than your final size to allow for secure knotting or clasp attachment.

  3. Prepare Ends

    • For beading wire jewellery, slide a crimp bead and one clasp half onto the wire, loop it back, and flatten the crimp with pliers.

    • For elastic beaded bracelets, simply leave extra length for knotting—no clasp required.

  4. String the Beads
    Thread the beads in your chosen sequence, using a beading needle if the holes are small. Maintain the pattern for a professional, handmade look.

  5. Secure the Finish

    • For elastic jewellery, tie a surgeon’s or square knot and add a drop of jewellery glue for strength.

    • For wire jewellery, attach the second clasp half with a crimp bead, loop, and crimp securely.

  6. Trim & Polish
    Cut off excess cord or wire close to the knot or crimp bead. Gently clean the beads to remove any glue or fingerprints.


Pro Tips

  • Use strong, stretch-resistant elastic cord (0.7–1 mm) for durable beaded bracelets.

  • Pre-stretch elastic before adding beads to prevent sagging.

  • Add spacer beads or mix bead sizes for a more eye-catching design.

  • Store finished handcrafted jewellery in a soft pouch to protect the beads.

This beaded jewellery method is perfect for creating unique handmade accessories, whether you’re designing everyday pieces or statement fashion jewellery.

    Artisans skillfully twist copper, silver, or gold-filled wire around gemstones and crystals, creating intricate wire-wrapped pendants, delicate rings, and statement earrings with an artisan touch.

  3. Metal-Smith or Hand-Forged Jewellery
    This traditional form of artisan jewellery involves cutting, hammering, soldering, and shaping metals like sterling silver, brass, or gold to produce bold cuffs, stylish rings, and classic necklaces.

  4. Polymer Clay Jewellery
    Lightweight and endlessly creative, polymer clay accessories can be molded into custom earrings, playful charms, and unique pendants in a wide variety of patterns and colours.

  5. Resin Jewellery
    Clear or coloured resin jewellery encases dried flowers, glitter, or tiny charms, resulting in glossy, eye-catching pendants, earrings, and artistic bracelets.

  6. Macramé & Textile Jewellery
    Using intricate knotting techniques with cotton, hemp, or silk cords, macramé jewellery delivers a boho-chic vibe through handmade chokers, bracelets, and stylish anklets.
