It Started With Gold, Diamonds and a Love Story

Meet Yash. He grew up watching his father design and manufacture 22k gold jewellery, learning early that a beautiful piece is only as good as the way it is made.

Meet Priyal. She grew up around diamonds and jewellery machinery, went on to study jewellery design and manufacturing, and developed an instinct for creating pieces that feel a little different.

Gold met diamonds. Priyal met Yash. And somewhere between jewellery, travel, international trade shows and working across different parts of the world, Upakarna was born.

We started in Mumbai in 2019 with one simple idea. To create well designed, good quality jewellery that you could actually afford to wear every day.

Since then, years of designing, sourcing, making and obsessing over jewellery have sharpened our eye for the smallest details. The curve of a bangle. The finish of a piece. The way a stack comes together. The little detail that makes something feel special.

Today, Upakarna is a world of stacks, anti tarnish jewellery, personalised pieces, charms and designs made to become your own.

Our jewellery has found its way into the wardrobes of customers, celebrities and creators across India, but what excites us most is still the same thing.

Creating something you see, love and instantly know you want to wear.
