Priya Biswas, from Hojai, Assam, has pursued crafting since childhood. Active in jewelry design since 2011, she is a DC Handicrafts Master Trainer and recognized Shilp Didi, empowering students and community women through hands-on artisan training.
This eco-friendly jewelry craft uses GI-tagged Assamese Muga silk, mulberry silk, and Gamusa weaves. Artisans combine natural materials like seeds and arecanut with non-toxic colors, creating lightweight, bio-degradable wearable art celebrating indigenous heritage.
Hojai district in Assam forms part of a rich sericulture landscape. Assam produces nearly 90% of the world’s Muga silk, providing a thriving regional cluster for sustainable silk extraction, traditional weaving, and artisan-led handicraft innovation.
The range features handcrafted neckpieces, earrings, and bangles adorned with motifs of Bihu dancers, peacocks, and traditional Assamese themes. Made with Muga silk and Gamusa accents, these pieces serve as unique cultural souvenirs.
Historically, Assam's rare Muga silk was reserved for Ahom royalty and traditional ceremonies. Priya Biswas reimagined this royal heritage into contemporary jewelry, preserving ancient sericulture traditions while offering modern wearers portable, eco-friendly cultural tokens.
