Kasturjewels: Inspired By Antiques, With A Contemporary Edge

Kasturjewels: the jewellery brand inspired by antiques (with a contemporary edge). Some of the pieces are made using techniques dating back to the 15th century.

Founded in 2012, each Kasturjewel piece is handmade and selected by master craftsmen, with a contemporary edge, making them more wearable and relevant for the modern woman. The business started, because Rajvi Vora aspired to launch a jewellery brand in London, that embodied a profound story and heritage, – influenced by Indian design, art, etiquette, dressing, and architecture.

Indian jewellery influences on Western society have been evident throughout history (especially during the Mughal period, and in the post-Victorian era). The Empress of India was Queen Victoria. Therefore, Kasturjewels seeks to explore the mix of these two very important and interesting periods of history and design, with a modern twist.

‘Kastur is named after my Grandmother, which means ‘the Gift of God.’ Her characteristics are in effect, what I want my jewellery to make women feel: dignified, elegant, timeless, understated, but grand,” said Rajvi.

Rajvi worked in humanitarian aid for ten years before starting Kasturjewels, and now, she continues to contribute to her humanitarian passions through Kasturjewels, by donating a percentage of their sales to charity.

Since launching just over a decade ago, Kasturjewels have opened their own store in Marylebone, London, as well as having a presence in the V&A Museum and in the British Museum. Their pieces have been worn by celebrities, such as Michelle Pfeiffer, and they’ve been used in TV shows, including Bridgerton, and Game of Thrones.
