The Studio
Wear history
Kṛttikā is a jewellery practice rooted in the visual and material histories of the Indian subcontinent. The studio draws from archaeological artefacts, temple architecture, sculptural fragments, and indigenous artistic traditions, approaching these sources not as motifs to replicate but as forms to be studied and reinterpreted. Each piece begins with close observation of historical objects- examining proportion, rhythm, and surface language. These elements are then translated into wearable scale, allowing architectural and archaeological forms to exist as contemporary objects while retaining a memory of their origins. Working primarily with silver and brass, Kṛttikā treats jewellery as a form of material translation. The pieces function both as adornment and as small cultural objects that carry traces of older visual traditions onto the body.
