At Jamnasha, we recently had the honor of sharing our journey and masterpiece, the Seep Mahal Necklace, with Deputy Chief Minister of Rajasthan, Diya Kumari. This meeting was a celebration of art, tradition, and the extraordinary effort that goes into creating something timeless.
Presenting the Seep Mahal Necklace
During our conversation, we showed her pictures of the Seep Mahal Necklace, detailing the inspiration and the intricate process behind its creation. This necklace, inspired by the iconic Hawa Mahal, is a tribute to Jaipur’s architectural beauty and India’s artistic heritage.
We explained how this masterpiece took 13 months of dedication to complete. From the delicate hand-breaking and polishing of seashells to recreating the intricate windows and domes of the Hawa Mahal with brass wire, every step of the process involved unparalleled craftsmanship.
The necklace features:
- 240 grams of 92.5 sterling silver
- 230 grams of seashells and pearls
- 30 grams of brass and other metals
- 524 embedded zircons to add brilliance to the miniature windows

As a member of the Jaipur royal family, Diya Kumari has always been an advocate for preserving Rajasthan’s rich culture and craftsmanship. She listened attentively as we shared how much effort and passion went into crafting this necklace. Her admiration for the intricate design and the dedication behind it was evident in her words of appreciation.
She expressed her love for handmade art and traditional jewelry, emphasizing how such creations keep India’s heritage alive.

Diya Kumari’s kind words and encouragement reminded us of the importance of preserving the legacy of handmade craftsmanship in a fast-paced world.
We left the meeting inspired to continue our mission at Jamnasha: to create jewelry that celebrates India’s history, honors its artistry, and tells stories that resonate with everyone who experiences them.
The Seep Mahal Necklace, with its intricate beauty and heartfelt story, remains one of our proudest creations—a true testament to the timeless connection between heritage and art.
