The Amdavad Necklace
Magnificent. Celestial. Complete.
A silver collar strung with coral red beads, carrying five dramatic pendants — a crescent moon, a large pearl, a violet enamel dagger, star motifs and sword drops, finished with a citrine briolette.
Having grown up in Amdavad, I've watched the city transform — from a quiet, aristocratic place rooted in centuries of culture, into a vibrant, contemporary one that never lost its soul. This necklace was designed to hold both. Every motif is a different thread of that history — Mughal, Gujarati, colonial, modern — layered together the way the city itself has layered its eras, one into the next. And at its centre, a crescent moon that is not coincidence: Shashikala means the phases of the moon, the woman who held everything together.
To wear the Amdavad Necklace is to feel magnificent, celestial, complete — old world grace, worn with a thoroughly modern spirit.

Natural Aventurines
At UNCUT, we often use Aventurine — a semi-precious stone loved for its luminous green hue and natural sparkle. We embrace it for its rich colour, symbolism of prosperity and good luck, and the refreshing vibrancy it brings to modern heirloom jewelry. Please note, being a natural stone, slight variations in colour are to be expected — a mark of its authenticity and unique beauty.
