Hand-Painted Indian Jewellery — Four Collections, One Craft
EthniiChic's jewellery spans four collections — hand-painted Earrings, Kemp-style Earrings, hand-painted Necklaces, and hand-painted Bangles — built across eight Indian folk and classical art forms, from Kerala mural and Theyyam to Pattachitra, Madhubani, Kalamkari, Pichwai, Tholu Bommalata, and Cheriyal. Nothing across any of these collections is printed, stamped, or cast from a mould. Every earring, pendant, and bangle starts as a wood cut-out and is painted by hand by an artist trained in that specific tradition.
The four collections aren't variations on a theme — they're genuinely different formats, worn differently, and priced differently. Here's what's in each, and where to go for the full range.
Earrings — the everyday range
52 pieces spanning five art forms — Kerala mural, Theyyam, Madhubani, Pichwai, and Tholu Bommalata — as studs, jhumkas, and danglers from ₹599. Built for daily wear as much as festive dressing, with the widest motif range of any collection here: devotional faces, peacocks, lotus, mandala, and classical dance-drama portraits.

Kemp-Style Earrings — South Indian temple jewellery, reimagined
26 pieces reinterpreting South Indian Kemp temple jewellery — traditionally cast in metal and stone — on a hand-painted wood base instead, so the look stays bold while the weight and price drop. Geometric drops, teardrop and crescent studs, and a couple of Kerala mural crossover pieces.

Necklaces — the statement range
37 pendant necklaces across seven art forms — Kerala mural, Theyyam, Pattachitra, Madhubani, Kalamkari, Tholu Bommalata, and Cheriyal — from a ₹650 Trishul pendant to the ₹2,950 Pattachitra Dashavathar set. Pendants are hand-cut into teardrops, triangles, rounds, and shields, then strung on hand-assembled chains — cotton rope, coral, turquoise, rudraksha — chosen to suit each piece.

Bangles — the everyday-wrist range
14 hand-painted pine wood bangles across six art forms — Kerala mural, Kalamkari, Pattachitra, Theyyam, Madhubani, and West Bengal folk painting — priced under ₹500. The lightest, most accessible entry point into EthniiChic jewellery, and one of the easiest pieces to ship internationally for gifting.

What Ties the Collection Together
Every piece across all four collections is hand-painted, not printed — the same distinction that runs through EthniiChic's decor and wall art. Earrings and necklaces are built on engineered wood for its stability and fine detail; bangles use pine wood, chosen for its lightness on the wrist through a full day of wear. Beyond material, the common thread is craft accuracy: each art form is painted by artists trained in that specific tradition, not approximated from a reference image, which is why a Kerala mural piece looks distinct from a Theyyam piece even when both are on the same product format.
Choosing Where to Start
If you want daily-wear jewellery with the widest motif choice, start with Earrings. If you're drawn to the bold red-and-green palette of South Indian temple jewellery, go to Kemp Earrings. If you want a statement piece — for a festival, a wedding, or as the centrepiece of an outfit — the Necklaces collection has the most range in scale and price. If you want the lightest, most affordable way to bring a specific art form home, or a gift that ships easily, start with Bangles.
For gifting, the four collections work well combined — a bangle and a stud pair in the same art form, for instance, make a considered gift set without needing a single expensive centrepiece. Each collection ships internationally; write to contactus@ethniichic.com before ordering to confirm rates for your country.
