The Journey of a Timeless Legacy
Our journey began over a century ago with a vision rooted in excellence, integrity, and masterful craftsmanship.
In the early 1900s, T. V. Parameswaran Pillai laid the foundation for a distinguished jewelry tradition in Kerala. A revered industry leader, he was not only a master craftsman but also the Founder and First President of the All Kerala Gold & Silver Merchants Association (AKGSMA) - shaping both the artistry and ethical standards of the gold trade in the region.
His pursuit extended far beyond creating ornaments; he sought to craft heirlooms worthy of royalty and esteemed families. With an unwavering commitment to purity and refined artistry, his creations became admired treasures among discerning patrons. For decades, the family legacy was deeply rooted in exceptional gold craftsmanship, built on trust, precision, and uncompromising attention to detail.
Carrying this heritage forward, the next generations strengthened and expanded the family’s presence in fine jewelry. Mr. P. S. Ganesh, grandson of T. V. Parameswaran Pillai and son of Chembakamani, continued this enduring legacy by establishing Nakshatra Jewels in the early 2000s. While honouring the strong gold foundation laid by his predecessors, he marked a significant evolution in the family journey by expanding into structured gemstone expertise, introducing certified precious stones alongside fine gold jewelry. Through his stewardship, authenticity, quality, and meticulous craftsmanship remained at the heart of the brand.
Today, the legacy enters a new era.
His daughter Nikhita and son Nikil now jointly lead Artisan by Nikhita, blending time-honored craftsmanship with contemporary design sensibilities. Rooted in tradition yet inspired by modern minimalism, they create jewelry that tells stories - of emotion, individuality, and timeless elegance.
From royal gold heirlooms to refined gemstone artistry, the legacy continues - crafted with passion, and carried forward through generations.
