Last night in London, I was invited to Unbound by Beads — an evening hosted by Archana Thani that brought to life the beadwork traditions of Kutch and Kathiawar in the most unexpected way. Curated by Puja and Kunal Shah of Aurus, in conversation with Melanie Grant, the event was a poetic meditation on memory, craft, and cultural identity. Beads — once seen as everyday adornments — became vessels of history and belonging. The night also marked the unveiling of Kutch Collectibles, a fine jewellery capsule collection that reimagines centuries-old craftsmanship for a new generation. A rare balance of research, ritual, and refinement — every detail was intentional. Grateful to have been part of this moment that felt more like a love letter to legacy than a launch. #UnboundByBeads #AurusJewels #KutchCollectibles #JewelleryWithMeaning #CraftAndCulture #ModernHeirlooms #BeadworkRevival #PujaAndKunalShah #MelanieGrant #Gemologue #JewelleryEventLondon
