SPAAbout
Aysha Bilgrami Jewelry emerges from the vibrant tapestry of tribal, cultural, and symbolic influences, rooted in Aysha’s own Colombian and Pakistani heritage. The essence of her jewelry arises from the fusion of cultural textures, materials, and symbols, a testament to boldness and timeless design.
Collective and individual identities are represented in Aysha’s creations. Giving a voice to individuals who seek the perfect balance of traditional elegance – modern sophistication and timeless allure. Each jewel embodies the essence of versatile, everyday statement pieces, honoring heritage and paying tribute to tribal inspirations while embracing a contemporary edge.
We take great pride in using the lost wax casting ancestral technique, a pre-Columbian method cherished and held by us. The handcrafted nature of this technique enables us to embrace and preserve the beauty of imperfections—a philosophy that extends to our handmade creations.
Our commitment to sustainability is deeply ingrained in our craftsmanship. Meticulously crafted from sterling silver reclaimed from X-rays, with 24 karat gold vermeil, and infused with semi-precious stones, crystals, glass, and elements like bull’s horn, our jewelry not only ensures exceptional quality but also reflects our dedication to environmental awareness. Giving a second life to materials is our motto, thus having a more sustainable and responsible approach.
Aysha Bilgrami’s Jewelry is an ode for those in a quest for uniqueness, boldness, and timelessness; a language that speaks volumes, transcending time and trends. We celebrate the journey, the fusion and the conversations that takes place between cultures, represented in jewels that become an heirloom, a treasure trove of unparalleled narratives.
Aysha Bilgrami
Born to a Colombian mother and a Pakistani father, she embodies the joyful encounter between these two very rich, yet very different cultures. Pakilombian is the term she coined to talk about her heritage and origins; a term meaning a myriad of possibilities that arise when different traditions coincide. From a very young age, Aysha loved drawing and sketching textures and garments that she imagined and learnt to sew to bring her creations to life. The years she spent in Milan studying Fashion Design at the Instituto Marangoni revealed to her, not only how much she needed to be creative in her everyday life, but also how clothes and accessories were powerful means to express oneself. Upon her return to Colombia, she worked in the fashion industry in different positions. However, she felt the urge to move towards accessories, a path that she finally set on in 2014 when she launched her first jewelry collection. Today she has a flagship store, Casa Creciente with Atelier Crump, a Colombian brand in Bogotá, where customers may buy her unique creations and other items that are part of her universe and that of the brands.
Luis Alfonso Tinjaca has led the jewelry-shop and his team for ten years, who skillfully transform Aysha’s ideas into tangible pieces. Eida McCoy oversees everything related to our website, Jaime Eduardo Zawadzki is our Strategic Advisor, Paula Andrea Melendez our Content Creator and Estefany and Sofia our Sales and Customer Service team led by Gabriela Varela our Commercial Director. Gloria Gaitán – Aysha’s mother– has an eye and attention to detail and works hand in hand with Aysha Bilgrami on special projects. And finally, Luz Mery Chaparro our Administrative Assistant who teams up with Do2 from Medellín to run our back office.
You are, of course, our last link in the chain. Our customers, who understand, and make the pieces part of your new universe, bringing them to life as expressions of yourselves.
The Team
Designing and crafting our unique pieces of jewelry requires many hands and minds. In the beginning there is cultural expression and tradition, our endless sources of inspiration. Then, the spark that ignites Aysha’s creativity and prompts her into digging deeper, looking for unseen connections, imagining new shapes and forms. We acknowledge each member of our team as they are a significant part of our creations.
