JD Design Awards 2025

Peer Deeper by Mithra M

Diploma in Fine Jewellery Design 2024 Batch

The geode-inspired creations by Mithra M, who won ”The Untamed Stone Design Award”, leave you wondering what exactly makes these bumpy rocks so special. But that is the magic; on the outside, they’re bristly and bland, but open them up and you have sparkly crystals waiting to be shown off. It’s almost like a metaphor; most of us are traipsing about looking all rough on the outside, but with something brilliant tucked away.

Mithra’s not hiding the imperfections; she’s showing it off with the jagged edges, rough metal, and colours going wild. It’s almost perfectly imperfect to find life. She’s selected stones with rough edges, metal raw. She’s handing the spotlight to Mother Nature. Making you feel like you’re putting on a secret. Everyone gets to see the cool exterior, but only you know how much sparkle’s on the inside.

The generic, mass-produced aesthetic is left firmly behind; no two pieces are identical, making it truly unique. It’s clear that Mithra embraces fluidity and fearless spontaneity. It’s an ode to approaching the unexpected with a touch of wildness and eccentricity. She brought on master craftsmen, who knew how to accentuate the natural imperfections.

Noteworthy for its sustainable sensibility. She’s employed sustainable materials and ensured nothing is wasted.

These aren’t just sparkly bits to chuck on and let it be forgotten. They’re a reference to the hard times, the glow-up, and all those scars that make you interesting. Geode by Mithra M is a wearable encouragement speech.
