Contemporary jewellery label KEYA by Adbhut marked its association with Delhi Art Weekend 2026, held from 25–27 September at Travancore Palace, New Delhi, bringing its distinctive approach to jewellery, craftsmanship and nature to one of the city’s key cultural gatherings.

The Delhi Art Weekend brought together artists, designers, cultural practitioners, collectors and creative communities through exhibitions, conversations, workshops, performances and curated retail. The weekend explored the intersections of art, design, music and contemporary culture, creating a platform for emerging and established creative voices.

For KEYA by Adbhut, the association offered an opportunity to introduce its artistic language to an audience engaged with contemporary art and collecting. Founded by Jaipur-based jewellery designer, researcher and author Keya Agarwal Badhalia, the label approaches jewellery as more than adornment, creating limited, collectible works of art that happen to be wearable.

Rooted in India’s centuries-old jewellery-making traditions, KEYA by Adbhut reinterprets techniques including Jadau, Partash, Meenakari, Gulabi Meena and Utarai through a contemporary lens. The brand’s debut collections, Under the Ocean and Into the Forest, draw from the intricacies of the natural world, translating shells, marine life, foliage, wildlife and fantastical forms into sculptural jewellery.

A defining aspect of each KEYA piece is its individuality. Every work is produced in limited quantities and individually numbered, while the reverse of each jewel features hand-painted detailing, creating a personal element that makes every piece distinct.

The brand’s creative approach is also informed by Mughal miniature painting, particularly its extraordinary observation and rendering of nature. This dialogue between painting, craftsmanship and jewellery is central to Keya’s practice, where traditional Indian techniques become a vocabulary for exploring contemporary forms and ideas.

Keya Agarwal Badhalia, Founder & Designer, KEYA by Adbhut said:

“KEYA by Adbhut was created to explore what Indian jewellery can become when craftsmanship is treated as an artistic medium. Our association with Delhi Art Weekend allowed us to place that conversation within a wider cultural ecosystem of art, design and collecting.”

Through its presence at Delhi Art Weekend, KEYA by Adbhut continues to build a dialogue around Indian craftsmanship as contemporary art, celebrating the skill, history and imagination embedded within techniques passed down through generations while giving them a new visual language for today’s collector.

Keemti Jewels Unveils Second Lagship Store In Mumbai At  Borivali-West

Published

on

Keemti Jewels, India’s most trusted and price-efficient diamond jewellery brand, has further strengthened its presence in Mumbai with the inauguration of its second flagship store in the city, in Borivali West. The store was inaugurated in the presence of Shri Sanjay Upadhyay Ji, Hon’ble MLA – Borivali Vidhan Sabha, General Secretary, BJP Mumbai, and Hon’ble President, Mumbai BJP and Member of the Legislative Assembly, Maharashtra, marking another milestone in the brand’s rapidly expanding retail journey.

Located at Shop No. 1 & 2, Ground Floor, The Haveli Co-op Housing Society, Gulmohar Road, Sundar Nagar, Borivali West, Mumbai, Maharashtra 400092, the new store brings Keemti’s contemporary lab grown diamond jewellery experience to one of Mumbai’s established residential and retail markets.

The Borivali launch comes soon after the opening of Keemti’s first Mumbai flagship in Andheri, making it the brand’s second store in the city and another step in its strategy of building a strong retail presence across key markets. With stores opening back-to-back across India, Keemti is moving rapidly to establish a nationwide network and make its proposition accessible to a larger consumer base.

At the heart of Keemti’s proposition is its approach to disrupting the lab grown diamond jewellery buying experience. The brand operates through an in-house manufacturing setup and its own design capabilities, allowing it to have greater control over design, production and pricing. Its vertically integrated, factory-direct model reduces traditional layers between manufacturing and the consumer, enabling Keemti to offer certified lab grown diamond jewellery at significantly more price-efficient rates.

With diamonds available at approximately Rs 30,000 per carat, Keemti is challenging conventional pricing in the category while focusing on design, certification and craftsmanship.

The new Borivali store offers a wide selection across rings, earrings, bracelets and neckwear, alongside other diamond jewellery designed for everyday, workwear, wedding and occasion dressing. Customers can explore different designs, diamond sizes and styles, with Keemti also offering made-to-order options that allow them to customize their jewellery based on their preferences.

Speaking at the inauguration, Armaan Kothari, Founder & Managing Director, Keemti Jewels, said:

“Mumbai has been an important market for Keemti, and opening our second store here is an exciting milestone for us. Borivali has a strong and evolving consumer base, and we wanted to bring our jewellery closer to customers in this part of the city. Our aim has always been to change the way people experience and purchase diamond jewellery by bringing together good design, our own manufacturing capabilities and genuinely price-efficient offerings. As we continue to open stores across India, we are focused on building a brand that consumers can trust and return to for different jewellery needs.”

Keemti’s retail expansion reflects the growing momentum behind its business model. Built on the Kothari Group’s 45+ years of expertise in diamond manufacturing and jewellery, the brand combines this manufacturing heritage with its own design studio, in-house production and a contemporary retail experience. Backed by the Kothari Group, entrepreneur Nikhil Kamath and Kavin Shah, Keemti is building a new-age jewellery business focused on making diamond jewellery more accessible and relevant to today’s consumer.

The Borivali store is another step in Keemti’s rapid retail expansion, with the brand targeting 88 stores by December 2026. With consecutive store openings across cities, Keemti is building scale while strengthening its proposition of design-led, certified lab grown diamond jewellery at transparent and price-efficient prices.

As the brand continues to expand, Keemti’s larger ambition is to disrupt the way diamond jewellery is bought in India, bringing together in-house design, manufacturing, competitive pricing and a contemporary retail experience to create a more accessible and transparent way of buying fine jewellery.
