Indian-born and London-based jewellery artist, Sugandh Makwana transforms cultural heritage into contemporary art through jewellery. Her practice is defined by a deeply reflective style that bridges tradition & innovation​, enriched with cultural sensitivity and personal storytelling.

Sugandh approaches jewellery as more than mere adornment, it is a language of identity and memory, a medium for narrative and artistic expression. 

Studio Philosophy

Every piece begins as a reflection of heritage, of emotion, of who we are before the world tells us who to be.

At Sugandh Makwana Studio, jewellery becomes language, translating memory into material, identity into form.

Our work lives between two worlds: ancient craftsmanship and contemporary expression. Each creation is hand-carved, slow-made, and steeped in narrative carrying traces of culture, touch, and time.

Euphonious seasonality

The grain of rice becomes a metaphor for continuity, nourishment, and life’s quiet rhythms.Each gemstone is hand-carved to echo the subtlety of seasons; the pause between change, the grace in repetition.

Why the Studio Speaks Through Food

Food, for the studio, is a language that everyone understands.

It transcends geography, religion, and class, creating connection where words or boundaries often fall short.

Sugandh Makwana Studio chooses to communicate through food because it holds the essence of what the practice stands for: memory, emotion, and belonging. The act of blending ingredients of tea steeping slowly, of spices mingling, of rice becoming nourishment; reflects how identity itself is layered and evolving.

In the studio’s process, materials are treated much like ingredients: each with its own texture, story, and warmth. Through tea, rice, and spice, the work explores the universality of human experience how something as simple as a shared flavour can carry history, dissolve difference, and remind us of where we come from.

To speak through food is, for the studio, to honour the everyday as sacred to find meaning in the familiar, and to create pieces that evoke the quiet comfort of belonging.
