Sterling Silver Locket Necklace 'Prayer Chest' This 'Prayer Chest' locket necklace by Independent Artisans is a tiny, meaningful treasure from designer Bhavesh, who comes from a long line of jewelers in Jaipur. The locket, with its shining tendrils set on dark, oxidized silver, is a prayer box used by followers of many religions to focus thoughts on a wish or prayer, which is then worn close to the heart. This piece beautifully combines timeless Indian artistry with a deeply personal and spiritual function. The locket is a powerful symbol of faith and hope, a tangible expression of inherited knowledge and creative vision.
Born and raised in Jaipur, this designer comes from a long line of jewelers whose craft dates back to the time of Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II. Introduced to gemstones through his father, a master craftsman, he began selling stones as a teenager before turning to jewelry design — a path that allowed him to combine inherited knowledge with his own creative vision. Since founding his workshop, he has grown from working with five artisans to leading a team of nearly forty, creating employment and stability for their families while preserving Jaipur’s renowned jewelry traditions. His collections feature gold, sterling silver, and gemstones, balancing timeless Indian artistry with modern trends. Exhibited internationally, including in Paris, his designs continue to evolve through experimentation with new stones and forms. Supported by his wife and business partner, he remains committed to crafting jewelry that reflects Jaipur’s cultural essence and connects with a global audience.
Handcrafted in sterling silver, this necklace measures 18 inches L with a 1 mm W chain. The pendant measures 1.1 inches L x 0.8 inches W x 0.6 inches D and weighs 0.49 oz. It features a combination finish, a cable chain, and a spring ring clasp.
