Weight you can feel

At the bench — the Kundan & Meenakari line

Nine days where a cast takes an hour

On this line, every join was made by a person deciding where to put it. That is slower, more expensive and occasionally uneven, and it is the entire reason a hand-made piece reads differently across a room. The Vault's other line — lab-grown diamond and moissanite — is set rather than joined; see below.

Gold

22k and 18k, recycled, assayed and stamped before it leaves the bench.

Stones

Uncut polki and rose-cut, bought at source, never lab-treated without saying so.

Silver

925, hand-drawn to wire in the workshop rather than bought as chain.

Bench

Jaipur, Chiang Mai and Seoul. The piece carries the name of whoever finished it.

Next door

Something to put on after

The Apothecary is two rooms over — cold-pressed oils, fermented essences, and an ingredient list printed by weight rather than by marketing. Small batches, dated by hand.
