In an era where luxury is being redefined through identity, craftsmanship and global narratives, a fresh wave of jewellery designers from the South Asian and diaspora landscape is making its mark. These brands aren’t just rooted in heritage - they’re operating on the world stage, blending culture, art, concept and wearability into pieces that feel modern, meaningful and unmistakably personal. Here are seven labels shaping the future of contemporary fashion jewellery, one collection at a time.

Bhavya Ramesh

Designer Bhavya Ramesh’s eponymous label specialises in handcrafted silver jewellery that fuses bohemian and tribal aesthetics with modern structure. Her collections often include bold chokers, layered necklaces, statement rings, nail-rings and statement sunglasses. Her material palette - oxidised silver, semi-precious stones, intricate engravings - is a nod to India’s craftsmanship heritage re-imagined for now.

Alighieri

Based in London and founded in 2014 by Rosh Mahtani, Alighieri is rooted in story, material and technique. The brand draws deeply from modern literature, notably Dante’s Divine Comedy, and builds jewellery through lost-wax casting in Hatton Garden. Mahtani’s work champions imperfection, texture and narrative - each piece is “a talisman” rather than just ornament. In recognition of its craft, Alighieri received the Queen Elizabeth II Award for British Design.

Misho Designs

Founded by Suhani Parekh, Misho Designs redefined modern jewellery with its sculptural, architectural forms. Inspired by art, geometry, and everyday design, each piece is handcrafted in bronze and finished in gold or silver tones - wearable architecture that feels bold yet effortless. Seen on the likes of Beyonce and Zendaya, Misho blends form and function with an edge that’s distinctly contemporary and unmistakably global.

Anisha Parmar

A London-based designer whose work is rooted in her South Asian heritage, Anisha Parmar explores adornment as cultural expression. Her collections pull from Indian iconography and diaspora experience - from mango-shaped studs to statement serpent earrings and elephant-motif necklaces. Parmar’s studio practice frames jewellery as storytelling, identity and ritual, not just decoration.

Together, these labels illustrate how South Asian jewellery design is evolving beyond ceremonial aesthetics. What unites them: craft as concept, heritage as design language and global relevance.
