ABOUT KHAJANO
Khajano, meaning "treasure" in Gujarati, signifies the allure and artistry of intricately designed jewels that symbolise the rich legacy of jewellery craftsmanship of western India.
Each piece has been meticulously crafted to precision embracing the essence of a slow-made process where in our artisans pour their skill and dedication into every design, ensuring timeless beautiful pieces that will last for generations.
HANDCRAFTED WITH LOVE
The journey begins with our Artisans as they carefully select raw brass sheets and wires, selected for their strength and warm golden hue. Skilled artisans then cut, shape, and sculpt the metal by hand drawing from traditional techniques passed down through generations. Every curve, texture, and detail is patiently etched, engraved, or hammered, infusing the piece with a unique character.
Once shaped, the jewellery is polished to bring out its rich glow and is often enhanced with hand-finishing techniques. This slow, intentional process ensures each creation is not only visually captivating but also deeply rooted in culture and designed to be treasured for years to come.
