About
Riddhi Patel is a contemporary jewellery designer from India. Inspired by the ingenuity of Indian craft traditions, Riddhi merges sustainability with bold, intricate aesthetics. Her designs celebrate vibrant colours, patterns, and textures, drawing from the natural world while embracing contemporary sensibilities.
The collection “Tinka” explores an innovative approach to surface design as both jewellery and decorative art. Crafted from delicate strands of organic materials like golden grass, palm leaves, and natural fibres, many of these materials are sourced from wild or discarded plants commonly used in Indian basketry and accessory crafts. They are reimagined into micro mosaic jewellery and art, redefining their value and function. Riddhi’s work encourages a renewed appreciation for frugal materials. For her is important to highlight these heritage materials derived from nature, inspiring people to explore their roots for sustainable practices.
Each organic strand is dyed with non-toxic colours, offering a vibrant, lightweight, and regenerative “material paintbox” that adds depth to both fashion jewellery and interiors. Expanding beyond adornment, Riddhi has translated the same intricate patterns onto wooden bases, opening new possibilities for home décor. This shift allows her work to exist beyond the body, bringing sustainable craftsmanship into everyday spaces.
As a flower enthusiast, the contrasting floral cultures of India and UK have influenced the design of this collection. The patterns and colours are inspired by popular florals from both countries, blending the best of both worlds and seamlessly incorporating the organic beauty of flowers.
