At Jewel Box by Arnav, we've always believed in the power of jewellery to tell a story. Each piece should be a journey, an expression of creativity, and a reflection of the wearer's personality. That's why our collaboration with Chicory Chai is so exciting—because they share our philosophy of making jewellery more than just an accessory.
Chicory Chai, a jewellery design studio with a focus on bespoke design and the conservation of antique jewellery, approaches their craft with a deep sense of reverence for tradition and heritage. What sets them apart is their dedication to the handcrafting process. Over 98% of their jewellery is meticulously handcrafted in their studio-workshop, one piece at a time.
This hands-on approach ensures that each Chicory Chai piece is a labour of love, passed through the skilled hands of artisans who specialise in techniques like repoussé, enamelling, and stone cutting. These artisans, with their years of expertise, are the heart and soul of Chicory Chai, preserving a heritage that is both timeless and invaluable.
One of the most enchanting aspects of Chicory Chai's jewellery is their celebration of imperfection. Instead of hiding raw edges, marks, solders, and dents, they treasure them as unique signatures of the handcrafting process. This philosophy challenges the conventional norms of beauty and encourages us to appreciate the authenticity of each piece.
Chicory Chai's jewellery is not static; it's a living, evolving creation. It begins as a dream on paper, takes shape in the hands of the craftsmen, and continues to evolve with its owner over time. This collaborative approach to jewellery making is a testament to the mutual regard for individual contributions—both of the makers and the wearers.
At Jewel Box by Arnav, we are excited to bring Chicory Chai's exceptional creations to our customers. Each piece is not just an accessory; it's a work of art that tells a story, embraces imperfection, and celebrates the rich heritage of craftsmanship. Stay tuned as we explore the intricate details and unique aesthetics of Chicory Chai's jewellery in the upcoming blogs.
