Celebrate Navaratri with stunning oxidised silver jewellery this festive season

This Navaratri, RASA Jewels steps into the spotlight with its newest Oxidised Opulence Collection with an overdose of filigree work, granulation, and hand embossing. The collection features handcrafted sterling silver jewellery with intricate detailing that celebrates the spirit of dance, devotion, and self-expression.

Handcrafted sterling silver with intricate filigree and granulation

The peices are dramatic—oversized jhumkas, temple-inspired chokers, crochet chains, and sculptural layered necklaces—all meticulously crafted in 92.5 sterling silver with a rich, oxidised finish. It’s silver with an earthy edge, traditional yet modern.

“The collection draws inspiration from temple motifs, folk/tribal jewellery, and everyday heirlooms that once defined silver jewellery,” shares Manan Bohra, co-founder of RASA Jewels. “It exudes celebratory energy of the festive season, where jewellery is more than just ornamentation, but it is self-expression.”

Every piece tells a story of hand-carved textures, of ancestral motifs made relevant again by giving it a modern twist. According to Manan, “We use age-old techniques like filigree work, granulation, and hand embossing, enhanced by a controlled oxidisation process. This not only adds visual depth and contrast, but also gives each piece a vintage appeal and lasting uniqueness.”

Beyond beauty, there’s thoughtful functionality. “The designs are lightweight, versatile, and thoughtfully scaled,” he explains. “You can pair them with a heavy lehenga or a sleek fusion outfit. That balance makes the jewellery feel timeless yet wearable across occasions.”

Whether you’re dancing through Garba nights or attending Durga Puja in a power sari, the pieces in Oxidised Opulence are meant to move with you. “A pair of bold jhumkas or a chunky kada can instantly uplift your outfit,” Manan adds. “Oxidised silver has an incredible versatility—it’s a true festive staple.”

Perhaps what makes the collection resonate so strongly with younger audiences is its sense of freedom. “Unlike gold, which often feels formal or investment-driven, oxidised silver offers freedom of expression,” Manan says. “It aligns with today’s preference for individuality, slow fashion, and pieces you can style in multiple ways.”
