About Us

Guardians of an
Ancient Art

Founded in 2024 by Raavi Kashyap — who brings over half a decade of experience in jewellery manufacturing — Shrivatsa was born from a deep reverence for India's jewellery heritage. Named after the sacred mark, Shrivatsa symbolizes divine beauty, endless love and the beloved presence of Goddess Lakshmi.

From the intricate artistry of Jadau and Meenakari - techniques perfected over centuries and preserved by only a few master families - each creation is shaped patiently by hand. These rare traditions demand time, precision, and devotion, transforming precious metal and stones into heirlooms meant to be cherished for generations.

The Craft

Where Hands Speak
the Language of Gold

01

Stone Selection

Every gemstone is hand-selected for its fire, colour, and character. Our gemologists travel to mines and cutting centres to find stones worthy of a Shrivatsa creation.

02

Gold Purification

Only the finest gold is refined through traditional methods, achieving the warm, rich lustre that distinguishes Indian heritage jewellery from all others.

03

Hand Setting

Each stone is set by hand using techniques unchanged for centuries. The karigar uses no magnification - only the trained eye and steady hand that generations of practice bestow.

The Art of Meenakari

Colours That
Breathe Life

Meenakari - the ancient art of enamelling on gold - is the soul behind the reverse of every Shrivatsa jadau piece. Where the front dazzles with polki and precious stones, the back reveals an equally exquisite world of hand-painted enamel in vivid reds, greens, blues, and whites.

Our Meenakars have inherited this art from their forefathers. Using fine brushes and powdered glass mixed with mineral pigments, they paint intricate floral patterns that are then fired repeatedly at precise temperatures until the enamel fuses permanently with the gold.

The Jadau Tradition

A Indian Art,
Preserved Forever

Jadau is the crown jewel of Indian jewellery-making - the art of setting uncut diamonds, gemstones, and polki using Kundan (24KT gold), a technique that requires no modern tools. Invented in India centuries ago, this art form survives today in the hands of a precious few master karigars.

At Shrivatsa, we are committed to preserving this art. Every jadau piece passes through the hands of multiple artisans, each contributing their unique mastery to the final creation.

The Design Process

From Vision
to Masterpiece

Every Shrivatsa creation begins with a sketch - drawn by hand, not by machine. Our design atelier studies centuries-old patterns from Rajasthani, Mughal, and South Indian traditions, then reimagines them for the woman of today. Whether it's a bridal set or a contemporary diamond necklace, the design process honours tradition while embracing modern sensibility.

The journey from concept to creation spans weeks, sometimes months. Multiple rounds of refinement ensure that every proportion is perfect, every curve deliberate, every detail considered.

Our Manifesto

We Believe in the Hands
That Shape Beauty

We believe that true jewellery is not manufactured - it is born. Born from the patience of a karigar who spends years mastering a single technique. Born from gold that has been purified and shaped with reverence. Born from stones that carry the weight of the earth within them.

We believe that every Indian bride deserves to wear not just jewellery, but a piece of her culture's soul. That every woman who chooses Shrivatsa chooses to carry forward a tradition that predates empires.

We believe that craft is not a relic of the past - it is the future. And as long as there are hands willing to learn and hearts willing to treasure, the art of Indian jewellery will never fade.
