Melt looks at jewellery through the lens of personal style. We believe a piece should feel less like an occasion and more like an expression of who you are; something to wear, layer, live in and make your own.
Our designs play with proportion, colour, texture and unexpected details, bringing together the familiar and the unexpected.
Fine jewellery, but with a little more attitude.
We’re interested in jewellery that doesn’t follow a dress code. Pieces that work with a white shirt as easily as they do with a sari, and feel just as right worn alone as thrown together with everything else. We borrow from the past, look closely at the present and leave plenty of room for personal interpretation. Because the best jewellery doesn’t just complete a look, it becomes part of it.
Melt was founded by Arushi Parakh, a fashion stylist and former editor, and a sixth-generation jeweller. With more than a decade spent working in fashion and editorial, she came to jewellery with a stylist’s instinct – seeing it not simply as something to own, but as an essential part of how we dress and express ourselves. Her family’s jewellery house, Kasturi Fine Jewellery, brings generations of knowledge and craftsmanship to the mix.
Melt sits somewhere between these two worlds: deep jewellery heritage, seen through a fashion-led eye.
At Melt, we care about how our jewellery is made, who makes it, and the choices behind it. We believe in asking questions, being honest about what we know, and always looking for better ways to do things.
To achieve this, we:
Work with people we know and trust
Ask questions and verify what our suppliers tell us
Think about the impact of the choices we make
Are honest about what we know and what we don’t
Use recyclable packaging that’s designed to be kept
Don’t work with pearls or coral
Pay close attention to where our stones and materials come from
Every Melt piece begins with an idea and ends in the hands of a maker.
Our designs are developed in our studio and brought to life in our workshop, where traditional techniques meet a more contemporary sensibility. We work with 18K gold and carefully considered materials, giving equal attention to the tiny details and the bigger picture. Nothing is rushed, and no two handmade pieces are ever quite the same.
