Sustainable Jewellery, Handcrafted from Upcycled Saris

I Was a Sari makes sustainable jewellery from upcycled saris: earrings, necklaces and bracelets, each one lightweight, colourful and one of a kind.

Every piece is handcrafted by women artisans in Mumbai from pre-loved sari fabric, so its colour and texture are unrepeatable. The result is expressive, comfortable jewellery made with zero textile waste.

What makes I Was a Sari jewellery sustainable?

Each piece is made from existing sari fabric rather than new materials, keeping textiles out of landfill. Production is hand-finished and small-batch, and every purchase supports fair, dignified work for women artisans in India.

What's included in the jewellery collection?

The collection covers everyday accents and statement pieces across every category:

  • Earrings: From pleated fans to floral danglers, light on the ear.
  • Necklaces: Rope, pleated and beaded styles in unique prints.
  • Bracelets: Cord and charm designs with handcrafted details.

Why is every piece unique?

Because each one is made from a different sari, no two designs share the same colour, print or texture. Every piece carries its own rhythm and story.

Made by women artisans in Mumbai

From pleating to beading, every piece is shaped by hand — circular craftsmanship that turns forgotten textiles into joyful, lasting design.
