Maharashtrian Textile Legacy

The Soul of Sia Arts

Rooted in centuries-old handloom tradition, Sia Arts transforms ceremonial Paithani silks and geometric Khann weaves into timeless, featherweight jewellery.

Chapter I

Gold Zari of the Royals

For over two millennia, the town of Paithan on the banks of the Godavari river has woven what is universally revered as the “Queen of Silks.” Adorned with pure metallic zari, oblique square borders, and kaleidoscopic peacock and parrot motifs, Paithani is more than silk — it is an heirloom passed down through generations of Maharashtrian brides.

At Sia Arts, we honor this noble textile by preserving its intricate motifs within handcrafted jewellery medallions. Each cut of fabric is treated with reverence, sealed against moisture, and framed with hand-strung seed pearls.

Chapter II

The Geometric Rhythm of Khann

Originating in Guledgudd and woven across southern Maharashtra and northern Karnataka, Khann is an ancient handloom cotton-silk distinguished by its miniature triangular matrices and vibrant two-tone luster.

Traditionally folded into auspicious offerings during festive poojas, Khann has seen a glorious renaissance. Sia Arts crafts Khann fabric into lightweight daily pendants, festive bangles, and matching earring drops that carry the warmth of heritage into contemporary wardrobes.

Our Principles

The Sia Arts Promise

Zero Factory Mass Production

Every choker, earring pair, and mangalsutra set is crafted by hand upon order. No two cuts of Paithani are identical.

Featherweight Comfort

Traditional gold jewellery is heavy and fatigue-inducing. Our fabric-base jewellery offers regal festive impact at a fraction of the weight.

Weaver Direct Sourcing

We source our Paithani borders and Khann fabric directly from master weaving communities across Yeola, Paithan, and Guledgudd.
