Hi, I’m Manika — the hands behind Bead Trove.
What started as a love for beads, colours and creating with my hands slowly turned into Bead Trove in 2021. I never really set out to make jewellery that looks like everything else. I simply wanted to make pieces that felt beautiful, a little different, and most importantly, wearable.
Every Bead Trove piece begins with an idea — sometimes a colour combination I happen to notice, sometimes a beautiful stone or bead, and sometimes even an outfit or saree that inspires me. From there, I experiment, mix, bend, reshape and keep going until it feels just right.
There’s something incredibly satisfying about taking a handful of beads and a piece of wire and turning them into something you can wear. Every loop, curve and combination is done by hand, one bead and one wire at a time.
I love creating small-batch pieces and designs that don’t feel mass-produced. Some are delicate and dainty, some are playful and colourful, and some are bold — but all of them carry a little piece of the making process with them.
And then comes my favourite part — seeing them being worn.
My daughter is often my very first wearer. She wants to try almost everything I make, so the first piece usually goes to her for a little test run. ❤️
For me, jewellery is not just about adding an accessory to an outfit. It can be that tiny detail that makes you feel a little more you.
That’s what I hope every Bead Trove piece brings to you — something handmade, something personal, and something you’ll reach for again and again.
Made by hand. Made to be yours.
