1. Inspiration and Design
The journey of creating our silver jewellery begins with inspiration. We draw ideas from nature, art, culture, and our own experiences to shape a design that resonates with our values and vision. Our design process starts with sketches, where our designers explore different shapes, patterns, and concepts. Each design is unique, with attention given to every curve, line, and detail.
Whether it's an intricate mandala, a timeless geometric shape, or a custom creation, our designers ensure that each piece starts with a solid foundation of creativity and purpose. Once the initial sketches are complete, we use advanced software to refine the designs and bring them to life in 3D models, ensuring a precise fit and beautiful symmetry.
2. Selecting the Finest Silver
At Drishna, we believe that the quality of the metal is just as important as the design itself. We source only high-quality sterling silver, ensuring that every piece is durable, elegant, and holds up to the test of time. Silver is chosen for its purity and luster, as well as its ability to hold intricate details and polish beautifully. Our commitment to using the best materials means that every piece not only looks stunning but feels substantial and comfortable to wear.
3. Crafting the Jewellery
Once the design and materials are set, it’s time for the real magic to begin. Skilled artisans use a combination of traditional techniques and modern technology to bring our designs to life. The jewellery-making process involves several key stages:
- Casting: The first step in bringing the design to life is casting. A wax model of the jewellery is created based on the design, and then it's coated in a special mold. The mold is heated, causing the wax to melt away, leaving a hollow space in the shape of the design. This space is then filled with molten silver, which hardens to form the piece of jewellery.
- Molding and Shaping: After casting, the piece is carefully shaped and smoothed. Our artisans use specialized tools to remove any excess material and refine the jewellery’s surface, ensuring a perfect finish.
- Soldering and Joining: If the design involves multiple components, they are soldered together to form the final piece. This process requires precision and skill, as it ensures that each part of the jewellery is securely joined without compromising its integrity.
- Setting Stones: Many of our designs incorporate gemstones, which are set by hand with great care and precision. Whether it’s a sparkling diamond or a vibrant gemstone, our artisans carefully place and secure each stone, ensuring it is aligned perfectly within its setting.
4. Polishing and Finishing
Once the jewellery is assembled, the next step is polishing. Our craftsmen use various polishing techniques to bring out the natural shine of the silver, highlighting its smooth texture and intricate details. This step also involves cleaning the piece to remove any residues from the production process. The final polish ensures that each piece gleams with a mirror-like finish, exuding sophistication and elegance.
We also offer antique and matte finishes for those who prefer a more unique, subtle look. Every finish is carefully chosen to complement the design, creating a piece that feels both timeless and contemporary.
5. Quality Control
Before our jewellery is ready to be worn, it undergoes an extensive quality control process. Each piece is examined for any imperfections in design, casting, or finish. We check the quality of the metal, ensure stones are securely set, and verify that the jewellery is comfortable and safe to wear. At Drishna, we refuse to compromise on quality, so every piece must meet our rigorous standards before it reaches our customers.
6. Packaging and Presentation
Once your silver jewellery is crafted to perfection, it is carefully packaged to ensure it reaches you in pristine condition. We take great care in packaging each piece, ensuring it is secure and presented beautifully. The jewellery comes in elegant boxes, often accompanied by a thoughtful note, making it perfect for gifting or as a special treat for yourself. We understand that jewellery is not just an accessory; it’s an experience, and we want you to feel the love and care we put into every step of the process.
7. Custom Creations
At Drishna, we also specialize in custom jewellery design. If you have a unique idea in mind, our team is here to bring it to life.

The process begins with understanding your vision, and our designers and craftsmen collaborate to ensure the final product is exactly what you’ve dreamed of.
