About Isharya

Isharya is a fashion jewellery house founded in 2004 by sisters-in-law Gauri and Radhika Tandon, with its design operations in Bandra, Mumbai. The label works with unconventional materials such as resin and wood alongside plated metals, and its name combines the names of the founders' three children. A 2007 bulk order from Net-a-Porter pushed the brand onto the global stage, and it has since been stocked by retailers including MyTheresa, Bloomingdale's Dubai and Saks Fifth Avenue, reaching over 500 retail and online doors. In India the brand grew to eight of its own stores. Pieces have been worn by Priyanka Chopra, Sonam Kapoor, Eva Longoria and Kim Kardashian.
