Taking his love for all things Channapatna, founder Karthik Vaidyanathan of Varnam, has introduced a new collection of pendants. Made out of wood and in the colourful Channapatna style, these statement pendants are minimal and fuss-free and come in colours such as blues and purples, — usually not typical of the craft.

Price: INR 500 each

Their jewellery is inspired by history, culture and architecture, and their new collection called Amulets, Lockets and Talismans is no different. Handcrafted sterling silver jewellery in the form of rings, earrings and pendants inspired by references and periods such as the Victorian, cultures such as Central Asia and India and tribal accents. Most of the jewellery has been created to look like amulets, talismans and lockets meant to preserve memories, to value as a keepsake or even for good luck.
