ABOUT US
Adorned Narratives is a creative space rooted in storytelling, self-expression and community. Through jewellery, art, style and curated experiences, we celebrate identity, heritage and the many ways people carry their stories. Our work is shaped by lived experience, creativity and a belief that adornment can be both personal and powerful.
our founders
A UK-based artist, jewellery designer, and cultural practitioner working at the intersection of adornment, identity, and the divine feminine.
My work is rooted in my diaspora experience, drawing from the richness of South Asian heritage and the complexity of living between worlds. India is my deepest well of inspiration, but everything I make is filtered through my British Asian lens. That tension, that in-between space, is precisely where my work comes alive.
Through jewellery, curation, consultancy, and workshops, adornment is the golden thread that runs through everything I do. It is how I explore resistance, belonging, and the stories we carry in our bodies.
A personal stylist whose work centres on identity, visibility and belonging.
As a British South Asian I has navigated multiple cultures and identities. Drawing on these experiences I am passionate about helping women understand who they are beyond the roles, expectations and narratives that have shaped them.
Using personal style as a tool for deeper understanding and creative self-expression, I create reflective spaces that encourage women to reconnect with themselves and understand how their identities have been influenced by culture, society and lived experience. My work explores the relationship between who we are and how we wish to be seen.

Bhavya, Our mascot
When we asked you, our community, for your name suggestion, ‘Bhavya’ was the name that just connected and formed the missing piece to her identity.
“Bhavya,” a name of Sanskrit origin, signifies splendour and magnificence, resonating with vibrancy, comfort, and the radiance of the sun. In Hindu mythology, it is associated with goddess Parvati, embodying strength and maternal comfort, symbolising luminosity, beauty, and divine grace.
Her meaning rings deep with the heart and soul of Adorned Narratives and the love we pour into our spaces.
