Created using a unique vertical embroidery technique, each of our jewels is a fragment of ancestral know-how dating back to the first maharajas.
To keep it alive, we work with these exceptional craftsmen to revisit a technique originally used to create ceremonial garments and Indian army uniforms.
In this way, history is perpetuated and many Indian families continue to make a living from their art.
At NAHUA, the men embroider and the women assemble the jewelry. We often like to point out this gender inversion, which is normal in this South Asian society.
Discover our 2 types of embroidery 🧵 :
Aari embroidery :
Aari embroidery is a needlework technique practiced in various regions of India.
It involves the use of a fine-pointed hook called “Aari” or “Drum” to create intricate designs on a variety of fabrics such as silk, cotton and velvet.
Artisans use a push-and-pull motion of the needle through the fabric to create precise patterns, often embellished with beads and metallic threads.
Patterns created using Aari embroidery are often elaborate and rich in detail.
Zardozi embroidery :
Zardozi embroidery is an ancient form of ornamental embroidery originating in India.
It consists of embroidering decorative motifs on fabrics using metallic threads, often silver or gold, as well as pearls, precious stones and colored silk threads.
Zardozi designs are usually very elaborate and luxurious, often used to adorn ceremonial garments such as saris, wedding dresses and luxury clothing, and at NAHUA we use it to bring you quality jewelry.
All our products are handmade, with leather, silk thread, sequins, pearls and semi-precious stones. You must therefore take the utmost care of them!
We advise you not to immerse your jewelry in water (salty or chlorinated), detergents, oils, cosmetics, alcohol, chemicals or acids.
BRACELETS :
All our bracelets have a two-buckle adjustment: for thin wrists, push the buckle past the ball; for medium-sized wrists, push the buckle past the Nahua-engraved “T” bar.
It’s important not to detach the ball from the clasp!
We cannot guarantee a refund if the item is returned to us with the ball unstuck, as it will be considered damaged!
Avoid exposing your bracelets to liquids, heat or light, and store them in the pouches provided.
If you notice a manufacturing defect or a problem with the fastening of your bracelet, please contact us as soon as possible.
BANGLES :
All our bangles are adjustable by pressure, so they fit your wrists perfectly!
As with other jewelry, avoid contact with water, acid, alcohol or other substances. Avoid overexposure to heat and light, and store them in the pouches provided.
If you notice a manufacturing defect on your bangle, please contact us as soon as possible.
BROOCHES :
Our brooches are as beautiful as they are delicate, so to avoid any deterioration we advise you to protect them by not overexposing them to heat and light, and by storing them in their little pouch. Also, avoid rubbing (bag straps, seat belts, etc.) and don’t bend them..
Caution: the pin can perforate delicate materials such as silk or leather.
If you notice a manufacturing defect or attachment problem with your brooch, please contact us as soon as possible.
EARRINGS and EAR CLIPS:
Store your pairs carefully in your Nahua pouches, away from light and heat. Do not fold them, and be careful with the rings, hooks and clip fasteners, which can break if handled too roughly.
If you notice a manufacturing defect or an attachment problem on your pair of earrings or ear clips, please contact us as soon as possible.
NECKLACES and CHOCKERS:
Avoid liquids and overexposure to light and heat.
Caution: Caution: choker chains can become tangled and knotty, so store them so that they are as straight as possible and do not overlap.
If you notice a manufacturing defect or attachment problem on your collar or chocker, please contact us as soon as possible.
BAGS:
To care for your leather pouches, follow these tips:
Clean the pouch regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt.
In case of stains, use a cloth slightly moistened with warm water and mild soap to gently clean the surface. Avoid harsh chemicals
Apply a quality leather care product to nourish and protect the leather. Choose a product suited to the type of leather in your pouch (smooth leather, suede, etc.).
Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight or direct heat, as this can dry out and damage the leather.
Avoid contact with water wherever possible. If the pouch gets wet, let it dry naturally at room temperature. Do not dry near a heat source.
Store your pouch in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place when not in use. Use a cloth storage bag rather than plastic to allow the leather to breathe.
