At My Motifs, jewellery is a canvas for storytelling, blending the drama of nature with the depth of heritage. Inspired by the misty hills of Kurseong and a love for bold, statement pieces, our collections celebrate symbols that have resonated across Indian culture for centuries. Let’s explore the meanings behind some of our most cherished motifs: the Elephant, the Fish, the Lotus, and the Parrot.
The Elephant: Strength and Wisdom
A revered symbol in Indian tradition, the elephant represents wisdom, strength, stability, and good fortune. Often associated with Lord Ganesha, it embodies prosperity and royal grace. In My Motifs designs, the elephant is reimagined with a bold, tribal aesthetic—transformed into chunky rings, dramatic pendants, and statement earrings. These pieces are for those who carry themselves with power and poise, honoring the majestic spirit of this gentle giant.
The Fish: Abundance and Freedom
The fish is a timeless symbol of abundance, and fluid movement. In Indian folklore, it signifies transformation, freedom, and the flow of life. Capturing its elegant form, we craft silver jewellery that mimics the fish’s sleek curves and scales, often paired with textured finishes and eye-catching details. Wearing this motif is believed to invite prosperity and positive energy—perfect for the modern woman who values both meaning and movement.
The Lotus and Flowers: Beauty and Resilience
The lotus, rising pure from muddy waters, symbolizes spiritual awakening, purity, and resilience. Alongside other floral inspirations drawn from Darjeeling’s valleys, flowers in our designs celebrate growth, beauty, and the cycles of nature. At My Motifs, we translate these organic forms into intricately detailed, voluminous pieces—whether as a dominant centrepiece or as delicate accents. They remind us that true beauty often emerges from depth and patience.
The Parrot and Birds: Love and Joy
Vibrant and full of life, the parrot has long been a symbol of love, passion, and communication in Indian art and poetry. Birds, in general, represent freedom, perspective, and the connection between earth and sky. Our avian-inspired jewellery captures this spirit through vivid, chunky silhouettes and playful details—think bold parrot earrings or necklaces that seem to take flight. These creations are for the joyful, expressive soul who isn’t afraid to stand out.
Carrying Forward Stories, One Motif at a Time
Founded in 2013 by Mrs. Surabhi Didwania, My Motifs believes in “more is more”—jewellery that makes a statement and tells a story. Each motif we choose is a bridge between glorious Indian heritage and contemporary self-expression. From silver elephants that command attention to lotus pendants that whisper of grace, our pieces are worn by those who appreciate art with intention.
