To create without limitations.
To dream without boundaries.
To craft art for emotions.
CJ is a jewellery design house based in Kerala founded by Raaga and Paul Chiriankandath.
Having a family legacy of almost a century in the field of jewellery, to Paul, his most priceless moments spent with his grandfather are those at the workshop of the Thattan (Goldsmith), exploring the metal tapestry and serendipitously falling in love with jewellery making and also the world of gemstones. His passion for music and movement, along with interest in design and art, made the journey to CJ, a path awaiting to be beckoned.
For Raaga, the world through her eyes is always seen in literature. A lawyer by profession, an ardent lover of craft and couture, to her, every piece of jewellery at CJ is imbedded with stories of love, intricacies and individuality.
As they say, sometimes all you need is love. It was love that brought both of them together and their love for artisanship, legacy, revival and most importantly the eagerness to create one of a kind Jewel art, etching deep into people's hearts, that gave birth to CJ.
Forever inspired by the world around us, the eras behind us and beacon of future ahead of us. Always rooted. Yet, our creative mind travels global.
To transform jewellery from only being a metal, to being an emotion, having its own tales, journeys and never ending destinations.
