There’s no such thing as perfect jewelry. However, some brands manage to capture the timelessness and style of each unique piece of jewelry. Launched in 2018 by Rudrali Gupta, KAOAPH is a contemporary demi-fine jewelry brand that presents the idea of simple luxury in the form of awe- inspiring creativity and craftsmanship coupled with utmost dedication and love.

Story of hope and inspiration

When asked about the story of KAOAPH’s inception, the founder Rudrali Gupta said “We started from scratch with the bare minimum. All I had was a burning desire to make a mark in this field.” She was drawn towards contemporary art and minimalism and believed jewellery to be an effective form of self- expression and self-discovery. All the products she designs are inspired by the travels, the diversity and culture, the nature and habitat across the globe and the things we feel and experience everyday, and imbibes stories and tales with a creative spirit.

Her deep passion for jewellery coupled with her keen interest in the design process and the eagerness to witness the art of jewellery creation led Rudrali to launch her own label. From spending hours in her small workshop, making abstract jewellery by herself to building a successful jewellery brand, the gutsy lady has come a long way.

KAOAPH strives to create a sustainable ecosystem that’s not only attuned to the moods and minds of contemporary women but also establishes an effortless experience for them. Everyday, the team beats their own schedule to drive themselves in creating pieces that feel and look unusual. Going against the tide and standing firm by the belief that jewellery is a form of self expression, the brand has repeatedly rejected mass factory production so that the beauty of jewelry making is handed over to skilled craftsmen, thus supporting thoughtful hands and artisanal industry.

Based out of Pune and Atlanta, this demi-fine jewellery brand ensures a seamless merge of fashion jewellery and fine gold thereby creating urban and imaginative pieces of long-lasting quality and rare brilliance.

KAOAPH’s jewellery is made with skin-friendly materials and plated in 18–22 Karat Gold. Besides being lead and nickel-free, materials such as 925 sterling silver, brass, stainless steel and metal alloys are used. Rudrali adds “We additionally do a 15 to 28 micron extra gold plating to the jewellery, which protects them from tarnishing, coating and makes them water-resistant.”
