The Story Behind ARKH
I'm Palak, and I grew up in a jewellery shop.
Our family business, Akash Ganga Jewellers, has operated from Meerut, India since 2000 — a retail space of 3 floors, a workshop on the fourth. I spent my childhood watching master craftspeople shape metal by hand, learning to tell a good stone from a great one, and absorbing the quiet discipline that turns raw metal into something someone will wear for the rest of their life.
Before jewellery became my full-time work, I spent a decade as a professional photographer. Ten years of framing shots, reading light, and obsessing over composition. That training shows up in everything ARKH does — in how we photograph our pieces, in the art cards we design by hand, in the visual language of the brand. Photography taught me that beauty lives in restraint, not excess. Jewellery taught me the same thing.
In early 2025, I moved to Melbourne, Australia. Instead of leaving the family trade behind, I brought it with me — and ARKH was born.
What ARKH Is
ARKH is a jewellery house rooted in Meerut, with connections across India and Thailand, now reaching customers worldwide. We work across three distinct collections, each with its own character and purpose.
Radiance — Lab-grown diamond jewellery in 9K, 14K, or 18K gold. Custom and made to order. Every diamond is independently certified (IGI/GIA), minimum G colour, VS2 clarity. Our family has been in the diamond trade for 25 years — lab-grown is the natural evolution: the same expertise, the same standards, without the ethical and environmental cost of mining. Protected by our Lifetime Value Guarantee (60–100% buyback).
Heritage — Sterling silver artefacts and traditional Indian jewellery. Idols, diyas, candle stands, kitchenware, coins — all 925 certified and hallmarked. Some pieces are sourced through trusted partners we've worked with for decades. Others are one-of-a-kind, handmade by my mother — each one unrepeatable, each one carrying her hand.
Everyday — Lightweight sterling silver jewellery designed for gifting. Packaged in glass bottles with cork lids and original hand-illustrated art cards. This line is where my photography and art background comes through most — every piece is designed to feel like a small, meaningful present, not just a product.
How We Work
ARKH sits closer to the maker than almost any jewellery brand you'll find online.
Most retailers buy finished goods through importers and distributors — by the time a piece reaches you, it's passed through three or four hands, each one adding a margin. We work differently. I select every stone personally. I brief the craftspeople directly — people I've known since I was a child, people my family has worked with for over two decades. I check production at every stage. When your piece ships, it comes from the same hands that shaped it.
This isn't a factory line. It's personal production — small-batch, relationship-based, quality-controlled at every step. The result is a better piece at an honest price, with a real person behind it.
My Mother's Hand
Some of the pieces in our Heritage collection can't be reproduced. They're designed by my mother — made by hand, no machines, no duplicates.
Each one is singular. When it's gone, it's gone.
I've given these pieces their own space in our collection — we call it The Atelier. They're not available to add to cart. If one speaks to you, message me and we'll talk.
What We Believe
Direct means better. Fewer hands between the maker and you means a better piece at a fairer price. We don't use middlemen, we don't wholesale from catalogues, and we don't inflate prices to cover overheads that don't improve your jewellery.
Honest materials, always. Lab-grown diamonds certified by IGI or GIA. 925 sterling silver, hallmarked. 9K, 14K, or 18K gold — your choice, clearly stated. We tell you exactly what you're getting.
Made with intention. Every Radiance piece is made to order — nothing sits in a warehouse. Heritage artefacts are selected one by one. Everyday pieces are packaged by hand with original artwork. Nothing about ARKH is mass-produced.
Heritage-crafted, globally delivered. The craftsmanship is in India — shaped by 25 years of family knowledge and trusted partnerships. The design eye draws on a decade of visual work and a life spent around jewellery. We ship worldwide, with free tracked delivery on every order.
