Article: Heritage that speaks Global Languages
India was once called ‘sone ki chidiya’ (golden bird)- a nation with extremely rich heritage, a plethora of resources and the world its canvas. Today- India isn’t just called the Golden Bird, it is literally the golden bird; with record sales of USD 923.48 Billion in 2023 in jewellery exports throughout the world; the world’s biggest silver exporter- dominating 20% of all silver exports.
One could easily say that Indian jewellery, the art and the craftsmanship, have gained global recognition through the years, and is a blooming industry in the modern world. Indian-inspired designs, with their deep roots in heritage and a rich legacy of workmanship, continue to capture hearts across continents. As the globe shifts towards a more personal style of storytelling, where individual vibe is the most important part, the fascination of jewellery that expresses culture, spirituality, and symbolism has grown greater than ever.
Today, we will look at how ancient Indian jewellery-making skills continue to drive the global market—and how modern brands like Kicky & Perky reinterpret these age-old traditions to create pieces that are both rooted and relevant.
Crafting Timelessness
The enduring appeal of Indian jewellery stems from its craftsmanship, which has been passed down through generations, honed over ages, and is now adapted for the modern world. At Kicky & Perky, we believe in conserving the essence of these timeless traditions while redefining them for the modern global citizen.
The Polished art of Unpolished Polki
Polki jewellery, which was traditionally produced with uncut diamonds set in gold, now has found a modern, ethical counterpart in silver-based alternatives. Kicky & Perky draws inspiration from Polki's unpolished, organic charm, reimagining it with lab-grown moissanites and 925 sterling silver. This method preserves the regal grandeur of the Polki style while making it lighter, economical and environmentally friendly. Our Polki-inspired pieces exude splendour, ideal for individuals seeking a balance of heritage and versatility in their jewellery.
Meenakari Means Business
Meenakari, also known as enamel work, is the ancient practice of fusing powdered glass onto metal to create brilliant, colorful motifs, which are generally found on the back of kundan jewellery. Traditionally, natural minerals and plant-based pigments were pulverized to create colors such as red, green, and blue. Modern techniques incorporate synthetic pigments and epoxy-based enamels, broadening the color pallet to include pastels, neons, and metallics. At Kicky & Perky, we carry on this tradition by creating intricate enamel designs on silver bases that add a splash of color without sacrificing wearability or comfort. Meenakari in silver enables us to honor tradition while remaining lightweight, joyous, and ideal for everyday elegance. It's a wearable canvas of narrative steeped in Indian culture and designed for the global woman.
Fine Filigree in Silver
Filigree is the delicate skill of twisting silver wires into lace-like patterns, a tribute to complexity and perseverance. Silver filigree, which has long been done in Odisha and Andhra Pradesh, exemplifies India's history of painstaking, detail-oriented craftsmanship. At Kicky & Perky, we use this method to create delicate yet durable designs that evoke old-world elegance with a modern twist. Our filigree-inspired designs are purposely lightweight and adaptable, making them ideal for everything from casual simplicity to festive layering. Each twist and curl is a nod to tradition, reimagined for today's style.
By embracing these approaches, we support slow, ethical fashion, where workmanship is honored rather than rushed. Each piece becomes more than just ornament; it is a subtle tribute to the artistry of Indian heritage, worn proudly around the world.
Indian Designs, Global Runways
Indian jewellery, long the glory of royal courts and religious events, has evolved into a global fashion language. Its international appeal stems from a powerful combination of precise detailing, deep symbolism, and emotional storytelling—each piece is not just beautiful, but also important.
Whether it's the lotus symbolizing purity, evil eyes providing protection, or chakra-inspired designs representing balance, Indian themes transcend location and religion to speak a universal human language of spirituality and identity. Modern populations all over the world are drawn to these deeper themes, preferring pieces that serve as reflections of self rather than just accessories.
Bridal jewellery, with its dramatic designs and storytelling elegance, has influenced global trends. Heavy wedding sets, nose pins, chandbalis, and maang tikkas are no longer limited to weddings or certain regions; they can now be found on worldwide runways, red carpets, and streetwear.
Kicky & Perky celebrates this cultural transition by transforming iconic forms into lightweight, wearable art. We produce jewellery that feels both traditional and innovative by reducing elaborate traditions into minimalist statements—a reflection of legacy that resonates with people all around the world.
