Big dreams from small towns often turn into the most inspiring stories, and Harsha Ambady’s journey is
no exception. Growing up in the culturally vibrant town of Thrissur, Kerala, creativity was second nature
to her.
As a kid, she would design clothes for her dolls and transform bits of her mom’s broken jewelry
into quirky earrings and anklets. What started as playful experimentation became the foundation of her
own brand, proving that following your passion can lead to extraordinary success.
In 2023, she brought her dream to life with a brand that carries her name and passion for geometry,
architecture, and sculpture. Her designs are modern, sophisticated, and rooted in architectural concepts
like symmetry, form, and light, turning each piece into wearable art. While her background as an architect
shapes much of her work, she lovingly credits her mother’s creativity for being her guiding force and
fueling her journey from the start.
With over a decade of experience, she turned her long-held dream of launching her own jewelry brand
into a reality. Her design sensibility is shaped by spatial design principles like form-making, perspective,
and the play between mass and void. She translates these concepts into beautiful, wearable art, making
her pieces as thought-provoking as they are elegant.
Her debut collection, ‘Align,’ takes inspiration from the architectural beauty of her native Kerala. Rooted
in her heritage, the collection draws from the Kolam—a traditional pond or stepwell known for its
geometric patterns and symmetrical steps reflecting the lush greenery around it. This connection to her
origins is beautifully expressed in her 18k gold-plated brass pieces, featuring labradorite stones that
capture the essence of this timeless design.
