Terracotta clay
Natural, earth-based clay from the Ganges and Yamuna riverbanks.
Terracotta jewelry is one of India's oldest crafts. We keep the technique and change the palette.
Every Cordelia piece is shaped, baked and hand-painted by our artisan partners at House of Kraft in Kolkata, India, then designed into theme-led collections by our studio in the American Midwest. Each collection begins with a single idea and is often many months in the making.
River clay from the Ganges and Yamuna banks is pressed and sculpted by hand, one piece at a time.
by handEach piece is baked until it's strong, yet stays feather-light to wear all day.
slow & steadyEvery motif is painted freehand in bright colors, so no two pieces are ever the same.
