About Us

A studio with an old soul.

Krest Jewels is a Mumbai-based jewellery studio founded by Kavish Uday Desai. Pieces are made one at a time, by hand, with the intention that they will outlast the trend that brought them into being.

A note from the founder

Made slowly. Made to keep.

Krest Jewels was founded in Mumbai on a single belief: a piece of fine jewellery should carry a person's story without ever being louder than it.

Every design is sketched by hand. Every stone is sourced with care. Every piece is hand polished then hand finished by master karigars who have been doing this work for generations.

How a piece is made

From sketch to heirloom.

01

Design

A sketch on cotton paper, refined over weeks until the silhouette breathes.

02

Sourcing

BIS-hallmarked 14kt, 18kt or 22kt gold. IGI / GIA-certified diamonds. Traceable colored stones.

03

Crafting

Four to six weeks at the karigar's bench. Hand set, hand polished, then hand finished.

04

Final touch

Quality check, hallmarking, hand-bound box. The piece is ready to be lived with.
