Sustainable Jewellery, Handcrafted from Upcycled Saris
I was a Sari makes sustainable jewellery from upcycled saris: earrings, necklaces and bracelets, each one lightweight, colourful and one of a kind.
Every piece is handcrafted by women artisans in Mumbai from pre-loved sari fabric, so its colour and texture are unrepeatable. The result is expressive, comfortable jewellery made with zero textile waste.
What makes I was a Sari jewellery sustainable?
Each piece is made from existing sari fabric rather than new materials, keeping textiles out of landfill. Production is hand-finished and small-batch, and every purchase supports fair, dignified work for women artisans in India.

Shop by category:
- Earrings: from pleated fans to beaded drops, light on the ear.
- Necklaces: pleated, beaded and charm styles in unique prints.

- Beaded jewellery: fabric and glass beads for a delicate shimmer.

Why is every piece unique?
Because each one is made from a different sari, no two designs share the same colour, print or texture. Every piece carries its own rhythm and story.
