Our Story

Can a piece of jewelry reflect the original you?

We believe that Jewelry is an expression of our personality. Each piece has a story to tell and it comes from our soul. And when it is made using an art form which is thousands of years old, it becomes a piece of our heritage.

Risham is an artisanal, contemporary jewelry line that celebrates our culture, our stories, and the power of self-expression. We believe that jewelry is more than an accessory — it’s a reflection of who you are and what you stand for.

Born out of a deep love for traditional craft, Risham was founded with the desire to revive old art forms and make them meaningful in today’s world. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted — a quiet blend of age-old techniques and thoughtful, modern design. Elegant yet bold. Authentic and versatile. The kind of jewelry that becomes part of your life — and stays with you for generations.

Our collection ranges from intricately woven beaded jewelry to beautiful 92.5 sterling silver pieces, finished with 22kt gold plating. These are pieces made to spark conversations — inspired by nature, architecture, and motifs found in age-old Indian embroidery. They carry whispers of the past, but are designed for the women of today.

At the heart of Risham is a deeper purpose: to empower. We are proud to train and employ women artisans, many of whom are crafting not just jewelry, but their own path to independence and self-worth. True to our allegiance to traditional crafts, we are deeply committed to fine workmanship, sustainability, and building a better quality of life for the women behind every creation.

Every Risham piece is a celebration — of heritage, of individuality, and of the quiet strength in all of us.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Founder's Note

 

I think I was born with a creative bone dabbling with all things artsy & crafty. But life had other plans and I graduated as a Software Engineer. Typical of many others in Bengaluru, I treaded the software route for over 16 years. A turn of events in my life inspired me to switch careers, turn entrepreneur and take my passion for jewelry design as a full time career. My foray into bead-weaving as a medium of jewelry making was accidental, but it is something that i am passionate about.
My love for color, motifs, nature also inspires me to create timeless pieces which bring out both the complexity and simplicity of a woman's personality, embracing all the multiple facets of a woman's life in its multitude of tiny woven beads. I design for modern and confident women, who know what they want and value art and culture. They prefer originality and quality and through this, my jewelry is able to create an emotional connection which is reflective of their personality. I  always believe your stories are yours to tell in what you wear and how you live.
My desire is to create something you will cherish, love and that will be a treasure for many lifetimes...
