Irasva Unveils ‘Rüh’: A Soulful Bridal Collection Inspired by Pichwai Art

Published

Luxury diamond jewellery house Irasva has launched Rüh, its newest bridal capsule collection that draws deep inspiration from Pichwai art — the 400-year-old sacred painting tradition originating in Nathdwara, Rajasthan. Designed to reimagine bridal jewellery as wearable heirlooms, Rüh reflects a soulful blend of heritage, symbolism, and modern aesthetics.

Staying true to Irasva’s ethos of merging contemporary design with Indian heritage, Rüh transforms sacred motifs and spiritual symbolism into fine jewellery crafted not only for the bride but also for her mother, sisters, and bridesmaids. Each piece is meticulously hand-painted by skilled artisans using miniature brush techniques — a tribute to the intricate artistry of Pichwai paintings.

The collection incorporates symbolic elements such as:

  • Lotus blooms – representing purity and spiritual awakening,
  • Tree branches – symbolising rootedness and personal growth, and
  • A deep cosmic blue backdrop – evoking the divine connection to Lord Krishna.

These motifs aren’t just decorative; they embody the emotional and spiritual essence of the Indian bridal journey, making Rüh a deeply meaningful offering for modern women seeking more than just adornment.

“The Rüh Collection is a tribute to the soul of Indian heritage — delicate yet powerful, intricate yet intentional. Inspired by the Pichwai art technique, each piece draws from sacred motifs like the lotus and the kadamba tree — symbols of purity, growth, and divine connection. Rüh is not just adornment, it is the soul made visible,” said Leshna Shah, Founder & Creative Director of Irasva.

Rüh is part of Irasva’s broader bridal portfolio, which also includes:

  • Amara – classic silhouettes symbolising eternal love,
  • Polki – evoking the regal splendour of the Mughal era, and
  • Diamond Bridal Jewellery – reflecting modern elegance with timeless appeal.

With this launch, Irasva once again demonstrates its commitment to reviving Indian heritage through thoughtful, design-forward innovation. Rüh positions jewellery not just as a fashion or ceremonial element, but as a powerful emotional expression and legacy — jewellery that begins its story on a bride’s special day and continues through a lifetime of cherished moments.
