Welcome to Rudraksha Jewellery, a North-Bengal, India business owned and operated by me (Suchismita Saha). I hope you enjoy perusing through my collection of handmade Seed Jewellery. My varied designs range from traditional, graceful, eclectic and sometimes, just simply playful and vibrant.
Over the many years of travelling throughout the magnificent tropics in North Bengal and North-Eastern India, I developed a strong infinity for nature and the beauty it has to offer.
Seed jewellery is an ancient tradition shared by many cultures across the world, never so strong as here India. I had the privilege of learning many stories and traditions from my indigenous friends especially about our glorious seeds and their fascinating uses.
Throughout my travels, I collected many different seeds ranging from our Red Bead Seeds (Adenanthera Pavonina), bright,red and vibrant, to the "Lucky" Matchbox Seed (Entada Giga) with its rich brown shiny surface, and began to weave them for fun. As my collection of traditional jewellery seeds grew, so did my collection of Seed Jewellery, with many admirers wanting to own one of my designs. It was then that I decided to turn my passion into a full time obsession and thus created Rudraksha Jewellery.
My beautiful seeds are rich, colourful, healthy and durable which transfers into high quality truly unique jewellery.
Each seed is gathered and drilled in preparation for the piece I am about to make in my studio in Kolkata. My designs vary and at times I enjoy using a variety of quality resources such as Alloy Beads, Wooden Beads and Sterling Silver.
And I never dare to use any animal part like Corals, Shells, Pearls, Bones and not even leather.
I hope you enjoy my handmade seed jewellery as much as I enjoy making, and of course, wearing it. My inspiration comes from the magnificent beauty of nature which I feel is well and truly reflected in my work.
