Hi! I am Riddhi Patel from India. I hold a master's degree in Design from Central Saint Martins, London with a specialization in jewellery design. Having a background in Fashion & Lifestyle Accessory Design, I have exposure to fashion, materials, and art history.

​

As a contemporary jewellery designer, my creative focus lies in harnessing the beauty of neglected materials such as leather waste and organic materials. These elements form the foundation of my craft, allowing me to create unique pieces that merge sustainability and style. I find great inspiration in the resourceful use of frugal materials and techniques employed in heritage Indian crafts. One of my utmost aspirations is to revive and reconnect with this regenerative craft tradition while adapting it to the demands of contemporary lifestyles.

​

My creative work exudes a vibrant and playful aesthetic, characterized by intricate surface details. Drawing visual inspiration from the captivating colors, patterns, and textures of the natural world, I infuse my designs with a sense of organic beauty.

​

I own a brand – Irida, where I create statement jewelry from leather offcuts.
