Avantika
Aaraa by Avantika is a label that offers exquisite handcrafted silver jewellery assemblages creating an entirely new language with the interplay of ethnic and modern ideas. The design language of our jewellery line finds strong influences from the Indian history, culture, art, crafts and architecture. 'Aaraa' is the Arabic synonym for adornment and embellishment.
With Aaraa by Avantika, the idea here is to bring new meaning to silver as a semi precious metal and presenting it in an unconventional way while maintaining its wear-ability.
The label has been founded by the lifestyle accessory designer Avantika Kumar Agrawal, an alumna of the National Institute of Design (NID), Ahmedabad.
Signature Collection
The Aaraa Signature Collection has been inspired from the flower Lotus. Lotus has always been an essential part of our Indian cultural and religious history as a sacred symbol of creation and rebirth. It is also associated with the concepts of absolute purity and beauty, which stands synonymous with our design ideology. As the logo of the label Aaraa by Avantika also carries a Lotus, it’s aptly named the Signature Collection.
Gold plated silver jewels have been handcrafted using contemporary lotus motifs studded with pearls and lab corundum, ranging from bold neck-pieces to eye catching earrings and maangtikas.
