Who we are
We are a 115 year old Jewellery crafter’s family, it all started in the pre-independence era when our great grand father Sri. Pillappa Shetty Shroff (popularly known as Pillappanavar), established a home workshop and row of shops trading in gold, precious gems and Diamonds in current day Chikpet Bangalore, even today there is a road that is named after him.
Over these long years the family faced several financial and other challenges, leading to the disintegration of the family business in to fractional entities.
Quite recently, the new generation of the Pillappanavar family came together and co-founded the Brand ‘Golden Craftist’, with the mission to revive the old roots and bring back the glorious years of true ‘Handmade Jewellery’.
We are the only authentic Handmade Bespoke jewellery brand in India, with a set of highly skilled senior craftsmen and contemporary designers, hence the brand name “CRAFTIST” (CRAFTSMEN + ARTIST).
Over Millenniums man has used these precious metal and stones to commemorate important milestones and capture timeless memories in Handmade ornamental art pieces. An Ornamental handmade Jewellery is the symphony between mother nature’s wonderful creations and human creativity, hence it was always cherished as family heirloom.
This wonderful tradition of handmade jewellery passed on from hundreds of years, drastically started perishing from the last 20 to 25 years, with the advent of mass manufacturing or Factory made jewellery. The bitter truth is that the 95% of the Indian jewellery market is dominated by mass produced factory products and distributed to all across the retailers.
As an insider of this unorganised industry, we know that this ugly truth is closely guarded and collaboratively hidden from the innocent customer. The customer is always told that the jewellery that they are buying is made to order by a skilled karigars.
Because of the business centric approach of the entire jewellery industry, the customer interests are heavily compromised. This has universally led to the following consumer complaints.
