”The Living Trace”
Samriddhi Tiwari is a contemporary jewellery designer from India, whose design language merges the ethics and values of traditional techniques with modern technology to create wearable sculptural forms.
Raised in India, Samriddhi grew up surrounded by a deep appreciation for craft and cultural heritage. Having had the opportunities to engage directly with craftspeople, she developed a strong understanding of the materials, techniques, values and cultural significance embedded in traditional practices. The intricacy of these crafts and the stories surrounding them inspired her to explore the rich diversity of Indian traditional crafts.
She completed her Master’s degree at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London, where she explored the cultural and material significance of Indian bamboo craft in a contemporary context. Her work looked at how natural materials like bamboo and cane could be combined with metal, blending sustainable approaches with traditional elements in jewellery design.
This cross-cultural experience between India and the UK shaped a creative perspective that values heritage while seeking new ways to interpret and preserve it. Drawing from her background, Samriddhi reimagines traditional craftsmanship in contemporary forms, aiming to keep these narratives alive and relevant in a global design context.
Samriddhi Tiwari is a contemporary jewellery designer whose work tells stories through material, form and tradition. Her practice merges traditional craftsmanship with modern technology to create wearable, sculptural pieces, using jewellery as a medium for storytelling rooted in cultural heritage.
Her Indian heritage remains a constant source of creative influence and plays a significant role in shaping her values as a designer. She explores the intersection of culture, heritage and contemporary sensibilities, with a strong focus on sustainability and ethical production. Experimenting with different materials and techniques is an important part of her process, allowing her to reimagine traditional crafts through contemporary aesthetics in a way that feels both current and personal.
Samriddhi sees jewellery as a wearable story, calling each piece a tangible memory: an object that holds not just physical presence but also carries memories, narratives, emotional connections, and creativity. She believes that jewellery rooted in traditional craft, but adapted for today, can connect with people not only for its beauty but also for the principles it upholds: sustainability, cultural value and personal meaning. Her pieces embody bold yet delicate forms, where materials carry memory and every connection tells a story.
