The family that gives heirlooms a new life.

The trust and skills of nine generations helping people feel closer to their heritage.

 We love high-quality Jewelry pieces, but do we know the differences between their types and processes? Here we distinguish and explain to you the creative process.

Heirloom jewelry,
the invisible bond.

 Heirlooms aren't just old pieces of jewelry that have gone out of fashion ages ago. Heirloom jewelry, often called Khandani Jewelry, is the pride of every bride and a legacy every family should own. They are treasured pieces of nostalgia associated with memories of our ancestors. 

Trends can come and go, but heirlooms are the classics that represent the rich heritage of our culture and are the cherished assets that add that extra magic to every occasion for which one dresses up.

Heirloom jewelry in India

Most of us grow up watching the women of our family adorning themselves with exquisite heirloom pieces or khandaani jewelry. Jewelry is an integral part of Indian culture, and heirlooms are signs of affection for the new generation of women, often passed down to mark special occasions such as weddings.

While jewelry is an investment, khandaani jewelry is a mark of respect and something everyone longs to own. Heirloom jewelry becomes a mark of tradition and a safety net in times of distress.

The family that gives heirlooms a new life.

Since the Mughal influence brought various jewelry art styles to India, many native artisans took on the new techniques. These artisans embraced exotic jewelry techniques like Jadau, Meenakari, and Kundan and made them their own. Like the rest of the occupations in India, being a jeweler was a legacy and skill passed down to the oncoming generations.

This practice has birthed countless lineages with skills of beautiful craftsmanship and captivating stories. One such family that has followed the footsteps of their forefathers, who served the royal families and their ornamental requisites, is the Jhaveri family. Today, known better as Jagir Jhaveri Jewels, this family holds a legacy not many have heard.

Along with providing their customers with a wide range of beautiful handcrafted jewelry, they also offer the distinct and niche craft of jewelry revival. In this service, clients bring old pieces of jewelry that their parents have passed over to them, looking to get them restored in newer styles. The Indian tradition of passing down jewelry has brought this family Jewelry pieces ranging from a few years old to generations old. These pieces are then broken down, separated, and redesigned with new elements.

These new additions expand the horizon of jewelry design. There are no limits to what changes can be made to redesign jewelry. With the traditional techniques of Jadau, the intricate work of Meenakari, old buttons from a grandfather's coat, and even combining two pieces of jewelry, their restoration methods are conventional and unconventional. Still, the output is always a timeless and elegant design piece.

However, their work is more than just reviving old jewelry. It maintains the essence of an heirloom and transforming each jewel into a magnificent time capsule encased in a design that preserves the legacy.

The modern-traditional Jewelers

In the Indian scenario, jewelry stays associated with the family he serves for a long time. A jeweler is likely to design jewelry for more than three generations of the same family, and for them, understanding what their clients need is extremely important.

But why Heirlooms?

The family believes when a woman buys a piece of jewelry, a part of her heart longs for the day her daughter or daughter-in-law might get to wear it, or when a woman wears jewelry that belongs to her mother or mother-in-law, a silent bond gets woven through the jewels.

It is not just the monetary value jewelry holds but the emotional one. In Indian culture, jewelry has always been a women's property. It is her safe house and her rightful share. The heirloom's importance has compelled the family to keep this service going.

There is no better way to respect an heirloom than by embedding it in modern designs, current fashion trends, and contemporary colors such that it is a pride to wear. Redesigning an ancient artistic piece of jewelry into a beautiful new design with a timeless touch is the elevation that an heirloom justifies.

So, does the family that revives heirlooms for a living have one of its own?
Well, of course! The Jhaveri family gets inspiration from their traditions and heritage. The Dodi set, crafted in the traditional Amdavadi style, has been passed down by four generations of women in this family.
