Our Heritage
A dialogue between centuries
SWARNAV — from the Sanskrit for gold — exists to carry India's jewellery traditions to collectors around the world. We work with established makers whose families have practised their craft for generations, selecting designs for their artistry and presenting them with the care and transparency international clients expect.
The crafts we champion
Nakshi
Relief work hand-chased from the reverse to raise gods, peacocks and lotus motifs — the signature of South Indian temple jewellery.
Kemp
Deep-red and green kemp stones set closely in antique gold, a tradition born in the temples of Tamil Nadu and Kerala.
Mehndi finish
A soft, matte antique gold tone that lends heirloom character and pairs beautifully with silk.
Silver & stone
Polished silver bases set with coloured stones for a lighter, contemporary presence.
Authenticity commitment
Transparent by design
Every piece carries a permanent Swarnav ID linked to its specification record — metal, finish, stones and craftsmanship notes. Metal purity and any hallmarking are confirmed in writing with your quotation, and each piece is inspected before insured dispatch.
