The Subtle Language of Adornment

The feeling we get when we encounter a beautiful textile is often similar to the feeling we get when we see a piece of jewellery. A sense of wonder, a little intake of breath, and the feeling that the piece is subtle. It is the result of tradition, skill, and the secrets of craft.

SEE ALL JEWELLERY

Over many years, Maiwa has travelled the world researching textile processes and the cultures that support them. During this time we have also encountered cultures with a long history of unsurpassed skill in working precious metals.
 
Maiwa seeks out traditional items, such as amulets, broaches, turquoise, lapis and amber. When working in India we employ local silversmiths to set stones and traditional pieces in 92.5% silver settings.

We are happy to say that in India, our enthusiasm for traditional pieces has ignited renewed interest in traditional work. Often the combination of antique elements in new settings provides the perfect contrast to fire the imagination. These are pieces with a history and a story, adornment that whispers in its own voice.
