Pune : “Swaabhi is a true embodiment of beauty, pride, culture, and womanhood, and she is prepared to conquer the world with jewellery for any occasion. Founder of Swaabhi Mrs. Swaroopa Utgi notes. Swaroopa has been fascinated by India and its rich cultural traditions, including the classical dance of Bharatnatyam, since she was a little child. She spent years diligently studying and mastering Bharatnatyam, and she plotted her course by learning about complementary art forms including costume design, stage lighting, rhythm, music, and jewellery.
Mrs. Utgi, in her pursuit of knowledge, travelled extensively throughout the Indian subcontinent and Asia, meeting a wide variety of artisans and jeweller specialists with whom she formed a sharp eye for well-crafted handcrafted jewellery of immaculate quality. She had a passion for Bharatnatyam tradition and her husband gave her a lot of encouragement, so she came up with the idea of fusing Bharatnatyam with jewellery.
Swaabhiman, the Hindi and Marathi term for “self-respect,” was the inspiration for Mrs. Utgi to create the name Swaabhi. Swaabhi fuses elements of Indian art, culture, nature, and tradition into her jewellery designs. She often thinks back to the days when she would scribble drawings on scraps of paper, only to realise years later that they would become wonderful pieces of jewellery. Mrs. Utgi founded Swaabhi with the belief that every woman should be able to afford and feel safe wearing jewellery. The store’s jewellery is composed of brass and copper that has been polished with gold or silver.
In this fast-paced world, everyone is looking for something that is compact, timeless, valued for money, expedient, elegant and something that can also be gifted. Hence, Swaabhi offers special combo packs of delicate jewellery pieces, which are in combinations of necklace + earrings or earrings + bracelets and so on. These are perfect for those looking for everyday office wear/ college wear, or casual occasions. These combo packs come in special blue boxes, which are perfect for gifting!
Other jewellery collections available at Swaabhi are Kundan, Jadau, Temple, Maharashtrian, and CZ Diamonds. All are well suited for the wedding season and other traditional occasions. There is a large variety of necklaces, pendant sets, earrings, bangles, maang tikas, waistbelts, anklets etc., offered.
Mrs. Utgi developed her cadence and caliber, and stood out in the over-exhausted market of jewellery when she launched her first collection called ‘Parna’inspired by the auspicious leaves used by Indians for their daily rituals, cooking & Ayurveda. The unique spread of leaf design ranged from Tulsi, Neem, and Mango to Banana and Apta leaves. Her second best-selling and most eccentric yet meaningful collection was when she designed and launched the ‘Spice’ collection. Even after 4 years of this collection, customers still review these spice designs as one of a kind concept, as this collection touches the sentiments of different kinds of spices like clove, cardamom, garlic, star anise, bay leaf, coriander and many more, that are seen and used in everyday life of an Indian household. The tribal art form of Warli was the inspiration behind the Warli collection. Figurines depicting this particular art form were skilfully crafted into pendants, earrings and pins.
Although Mrs Utgi understands the cultural significance of Swaabhi as a brand, she also wanted the appeal of jewellery to reach into the daily lives of the millennials and gen z; incorporating the recent trends and lifestyle of the youth today, Swaroopa decided to go with a minimalist, aesthetic, and chic design for her new collection which she named ‘friendship’; this sure has another unique take to it, as the collection is inspired from commonly heard phrases like “Lets hangout?”, “Up for a coffee?”, “Let’s chat”, “Just chill & relax”, “Cheers!” and many more.
The in-house collections like Parna, Warli, Dashavatara, Spice, Rangoli, Mandira, Friendship & more are what make Swaabhi special and one of a kind.
Through all these collections, Swaabhi Jewellery aims to add a touch of special to all your everyday and big occasions. Their collection understands the women of today, their mindset, likes, and aspirations. Swaabhi aspires to be the first choice of every woman that is fearless, aspirational, and a go-getter but equally humble and rooted. Here’s to all of us experiencing the “Swaabhi” in us!
