At Quirksmith, we believe that jewellery is never just an accessory. It can be a memory. A feeling. A moment frozen in time.
And sometimes, it’s the quietest pieces that speak the loudest.
Especially when they’re passed down—from a grandmother’s ring to a mother’s bangle to your own hands.
These pieces carry stories that no price tag could ever capture.
The Meaning Behind Inherited Jewellery
Inherited jewellery often comes to us wrapped in nostalgia. It may not be trendy. It might not be the "perfect match" to our outfits.
But it fits something far deeper—it fits our hearts.
It’s your mother’s nosepin she wore every day for years.
It’s the chain your grandfather gifted your grandmother when they were just married.
It’s a mangalsutra kept safe in a small box, full of time and tenderness.
Even if we weren’t there for those stories, the jewellery carries them forward—so we can wear them, remember them, and keep them close.
Wearing My Grandmother’s Ring
A Quirksmith team member once shared this:
“I wear my Grandmother’s silver ring when I’m nervous. I don’t know where she got it or why she wore it every day—but I feel calmer when it’s on me. Like I carry her strength on my fingers.”
That’s the magic of inherited jewellery.
It becomes a quiet source of comfort—like a hand resting on yours, even if it’s no longer physically there.
The Stories Tied to Jewellery Pieces
Every dent, every fade, every bit of tarnish on old jewellery is proof that it was lived in.
Maybe it was worn every day, through both ordinary routines and big celebrations.
Maybe it was passed down with a story, or maybe it arrived in silence—but made space for new memories with you.
At Quirksmith, many of our designs are inspired by this idea—jewellery that becomes part of your story, and then someone else's.
How Jewellery Connects Us to the Past
There’s a quiet kind of power in wearing something from those who came before you. It connects you to their journey, their values, their strength.
It reminds you that you are part of something bigger.
Whether it’s your mother’s earrings or your dadi’s nose ring, it’s not about how new or shiny the piece is—it’s about how close it feels.
Let Your Jewellery Tell Your Story
You don’t need diamonds or gold to feel rich in meaning.
Sometimes, a simple silver ring passed down in the family, or a necklace with a story behind it, carries more value than anything you could buy.
At Quirksmith, we design jewellery that celebrates this kind of meaning—pieces that feel personal, that feel like home.
So whether you're inheriting, gifting, or creating new memories—let your jewellery speak for you.
