URSA LOVES: FLORA BHATTACHARY
''I fell in love with jewellery early, when I was given an ancient carved bird at an archaeological site in Taxila. I keep my little bird close and it encapsulates my passion for India and its' ancient mythology.''

THE JEWELLERY
Flora creates fine jewellery, inspired by the glamour of India’s past. Flora explores her connections with India through elegant sculptural designs to create bold and feminine jewellery. Her collections are made from recycled gold at her London studio.

''I design jewellery for women who are happy to experiment with their look and make a statement. They understand tradition and quality - and also want to have a little fun with their jewellery.''

THE CRAFTSMANSHIP
Each design is produced in limited editions and is hand crafted and carved in the UK. Flora previously worked with a number of British jewellery brands and as Director of the renowned Electrum Gallery.
