Nicci found herself at yet another crossroads in 2013. The London based, Kenyan born jewellery designer happened by chance to come upon her old jewellery design sketches from almost 15 years earlier. It felt as if it was meant to be as the breeze blew some of the sketches onto her desk just when Nicci pondered ‘what next?’ That was the founding moment of Sohavi. Nicci went on to establish her jewellery business online in 2015. The name means beautiful in Gurmukhi, very fitting for artisan jewellery with soul that embodies grace, style and the alchemy of philosophical ideas, imbued into metals. The materials Nicci uses are all responsibly sourced to create finely crafted designs in sterling silver and with 22K Gold Vermeil, by artisans in Jaipur, India; including a natural gemstone mala bead collection with signature luxurious silky tassels, designed from the heart finished by hand.
Indian Renaissance
Sohavi reflects the divine feminine, a confident, fearless beauty, a woman of substance who in her quest for purpose, connection and oneness is experienced in ancient spiritual practices of wellbeing. We’re showcasing eclectic design, some of heritage influences that connect today with a modern twist of iconic ancient designs. These artisan jewellery designs express the brand ethos of positive energy and oneness.
Our new collection called Indian Renaissance takes influences and inspiration from the Mughal period of early 16–18 century India. Our coin collection tells mystical stories about the culture and beliefs of the rulers of the lands, Guru’s, Kings and Deities. The ancient symbolism, journeying back in time where the creative expression of new visionary thoughts and ideas are vividly seen throughout ancient antiquities in arts, crafts, architecture, palaces textiles and of course jewellery. The creative theme of the Modern Talismans and Amulets is that of enlightenment, courage, inner strength, gratitude, love, hope and the spirit of giving. Natural gemstones, and luxurious mother of pearl lend warmth and sparkle to collection Sohavi, makes the perfect gift idea as the brand is rooted in soulful significance, embodying mystical ideas and beliefs that act as a gentle reminder of love and authentic connection, to be treasured for a lifetime.
