Having made its name with its temple-inspired jewellery, Navarathan created their own line of designs from other parts of the country including Meenakari, Jadau and a complete range of faceted diamond jewellery. The inspiration comes from the temple jewellery designs of the south. These temples are a treasure trove of exquisite jewellery adorned by the goddesses. And for centuries people have worshipped them as much as they have worshipped the goddesses at these temples. 60 years ago, Navarathan ̶ jeweller to Royal Households of Mysore, Travancore House of Kerala and the fabulously wealthy Nizams of Hyderabad, were inspired by these pieces and set out to create their own versions of them. People from all over flocked to Bangalore to have for themselves a piece of history. Jewellery that was not just stunning in design, but also a throw-back to the days when intricate craftsmanship and painstaking attention to detail was the norm of jewellery making.
