Regal exclusivity with a rebellious streak where Versailles meets Mughlai.

Deriving from the floral decorations exhibited by opulent Mughal art, this pendant’s textile-inspired style encapsulates a world-wide 17th century fashion phenomenon in a single timeless locket. True chintz was highly popular during the late 1600s, when European trading of the fabric was banned due to the inability to replicate designs within Europe. With these rich representations of natural beauty restricted, the pattern grew a secret dynasty held by the storied and lawless Court of Versailles, where it was still worn by fashionable young courtiers. This Chintz Dynasty lives on in its regal exclusivity with a rebellious streak

The pendant is entirely handmade: forged from pure 23.5K gold, intricately engraved by hand, then inlaid with powdered glass enamel (meenakari) and fired in a high-heat kiln - a process that fuses the colors permanently to the gold.

Reversible and richly detailed on every side, including its edges, Roya pendants are modern heirlooms made with traditional artistry. The flowering motifs of early chintz in enamel, symbolizing the fullness of life, abundance, and the natural world’s sleeping potential - now awakening in you.

Like a sacred arch of a Mihrab, a sacred prayer niche, this pendant opens inwards. A portal toward stillness, devotion and divine alignment.

A contemporary talisman, the Eye of Chintz is both personal and timeless - a piece made to be worn every day and passed down across generations.
