Inspired by Mughal court jewelry and the intimate rituals of the Seraglio, this sterling silver bracelet features a heart-shaped clasp rooted in historical symbolism. Drawing from the Arsi ring—an object of reflection, vanity, and power—it reinterprets a personal adornment once worn by women of the royal court. A handcrafted piece where ornament becomes gesture and meaning.

In the women’s quarters of the Mughal court, known as the Seraglio, jewelry was more than ornament—it was a companion to daily ritual. The Venetian traveller, physician, and soldier Niccolò Manucci recounts in his Storia do Mogor a distinctive ring worn on the right thumb: the Arsi. Instead of a gemstone, it held a small round mirror framed by pearls, allowing women to contemplate their reflection at any moment, an act he notes they greatly delighted in.
The Arsi ring existed in many variations, sometimes reaching remarkable dimensions, and held both practical and symbolic value. It was an intimate object, associated with beauty, self-awareness, and the private world of the court. Manucci himself was granted rare access to these enclosed spaces in his role as physician, offering a unique glimpse into life behind the palace walls.
Rooted in traditional craftsmanship and cultural heritage, this piece bridges Mughal court aesthetics with modern artisan jewelry, celebrating adornment as both reflection and identity.
