Delhi

Dariba Kalan in Chandni Chowk has been a jewellers' street since the Mughals. A short metro ride away, Janpath's stalls are where Delhi's college girls have always found their oxidised jhumkas.

Oxidised silver-tone & statement collars
Wear it now
Oxidised hoops with a white kurta, or one big collar with a black dress.
Market tip
Run a finger along the back. A well-made piece is smooth where it touches skin.

What our buyers look for

  • Crisp filigree with no broken wires
  • Oxidising that's even, not patchy
  • Collars that sit flat on the collarbone
  • Clasps strong enough for a dance floor

Delhi gives us two moods in one day. In Dariba Kalan, it's collars and chokers built for a big entrance — intricate, layered, unapologetically dramatic. At Janpath it's the opposite: oxidised hoops, mirror-work drops and the boho pieces that live in your college bag.

We look for pieces that bridge both — a filigree hoop sharp enough for the office, a collar that turns a plain black dress into an event.

Delhi is loud. We bring back the pieces that are loud in the right way.
