By Rova

Some jewellery is decoration. Roots & Rhythm is different — it is textile jewellery built with heritage embroidery. Using pearl setting, where cords are stitched to a textile base with stitches kept invisible and beads are seated along those cords, the collection carries centuries of craft knowledge but is made to be worn now.

At its heart is a balance: heritage forms that hold history, and modern adaptations that prove the technique still lives. This contrast is where Roots & Rhythm finds its strength.

Distinctive by Design

What you see in Roots & Rhythm doesn’t exist in mainstream jewellery. These are not polished metal chains or strung glass beads. Each piece is embroidered — constructed line by line with pearl setting.

That makes them lighter than metal, yet striking in presence. Worn against a plain linen shirt or layered with textured knitwear, the jewellery reads as something unusual: a detail that changes the whole outfit.

For anyone tired of predictable accessories, this is a collection that gives you individuality stitched into form.

One-of-a-Kind Exclusivity

Every piece in the collection is unique. Bracelets are stitched individually and no two are the same. The collar necklace exists as a single piece, with the possibility of one more only on request. The bag charm is the only design produced in a batch of three, yet even here each one holds subtle variations from hand-stitching.

Exclusivity here is not a marketing claim but a fact of the making process. When you choose from Roots & Rhythm, you are choosing something rare.

Heritage Foundations: Collar and Multi-Strand Necklaces

The collar necklace is the centre of the collection. It recalls historic jewellery that encircled the neckline in wide bands, but its structure is entirely embroidery-based. Built line by line with pearl setting, the collar creates a patterned surface that feels both strong and tactile. Styled over linen it feels grounded, while against dark fabrics it becomes dramatic.

Alongside it is the multi-strand necklace, which carries rhythm through repeated lines of beads. Although the design recalls traditional strands of beads, its structure is built with pearl setting, giving it a layered texture that feels both heritage-rooted and contemporary.

Modern Adaptations: Bracelets and Bag Charm

Where the necklaces continue historic forms, the bracelets and bag charm take the embroidery method into categories that did not exist in medieval craft. They are not reconstructions of the past, but translations for today.

Each bracelet is individual, designed to be worn alone or stacked for impact. They carry the rhythm of cords and beads in a format that slips naturally into modern life.

The bag charm is the most playful piece of the collection — embroidery applied to a compact object that moves with you. It’s not a medieval echo but a proof that heritage craft can adapt without losing its character.

Why It Belongs in Modern Boho Fashion

Boho fashion today values texture, layering, and individuality. Too often, that is reduced to mass-market beads and festival clichés. Roots & Rhythm offers a different path: boho that is rare, historically aware, and made with precision.

The necklaces serve as bold centrepieces, the bracelets as versatile accents, and the bag charm as an unexpected detail. Together, they show that embroidery doesn’t belong to archives — it belongs in the wardrobe of anyone who wants their accessories to carry meaning as well as style.

 

Roots & Rhythm is both roots — collar and multi-strand necklaces that keep heritage alive — and rhythm — bracelets and charms that bring the craft forward. Each piece is unique, each one created with pearl embroidery, and all are made to prove that medieval craft can live in modern fashion.

For those who value jewellery that is distinctive, exclusive, and layered with meaning, this collection offers a rare choice.
