A Sustainable Journey: From Raw Silver to Jewellery
At Jakhu Studio, materials are more than just elements, they carry meaning, memory, and intention. We work primarily with locally sourced silver, often recycled from old pieces or studio remnants. Every step, from melting metal in our workshop to hand-finishing each piece, reflects our commitment to sustainability, integrity, and care. This quiet, grounded approach to making honours both the natural world and the communities we work with.
At Jakhu Studio, a raw piece of silver is never just a material. It holds memory, meaning, and immense potential.
We primarily use locally sourced silver, with a significant recycled portion used across our artisan collections. In our workshop nothing goes to waste, we melt down old pieces and reuse every leftover fragment. For us, sustainability means respecting resources at every step. Our process is slow and intentional. We avoid harsh chemicals and industrial finishes, choosing instead to work in small batches and produce limited-edition and made-to-order designs. These methods honour traditional jewellery-making techniques and tread lightly on the earth.
This journey — from sourcing raw materials, to designing, to handcrafting — is one of reverence, responsibility, and integrity. We believe every choice, no matter how small, carries weight.
By embracing transparency in our materials and methods, we hope to offer not only beautiful but thoughtful jewellery pieces.

peru, stories of resilence
A portrait of resilience through the everyday lives of women in the Andes. This post honours the warmth, strength, and spirit of the artisan community, a quiet tribute to presence, care, and connection.
Nature is still, yet everything is transforming resiliently.
I miss Peru and the warmth of people deeply. Resilience lives in the land, in the community, in the hands of the artisans I work with, my extended family.
May this post reconnect us with what truly matters: presence, care, slowness, reverence and togetherness.
Endless gratitude for the hands and hearts behind the work.

reflecting on glaciers
A breathtaking view of Huaytapallana’s snow-capped peak and its turquoise lake in the Peruvian Andes. This Earth Day, we reflect on glaciers and the fragile beauty of our planet.
It all began at around 4,000 meters above sea level, where the silence deepens. Nature holds you and humbles you.
I was beyond grateful to witness the raw beauty of the Huaytapallana last year, a glacier in the central Andes near the artisan’s workshop. Majestic and vulnerable, too, heartbreakingly impacted by climate change.
Glaciers feed rivers, regulate weather patterns, and hold stories in their ancient ice. When we lose them, we lose more than just frozen water. We lose balance.
Let this day be a reminder that our planet needs our care and love every day. Live as sustainably and responsibly as you can and let your actions inspire others in your community.
