Hello & welcome to Thulya,
I’m Sudha Pillai—an artist, writer, and photographer. Storytelling is at the heart of everything I do—whether through words, visuals, or objects. Thulya is an extension of that passion. A deeply personal journey into the world of handmade jewellery. I draw inspiration from architecture, nature, and the rich cultural heritage that surrounds us. My work is rooted in The Art of Enough—a philosophy that embraces simplicity, balance, and meaning. Every design is thoughtful, every detail intentional. I work with materials like concrete, silver, and repurposed elements to create pieces that are modern, minimal, and mindful. Jewellery that speaks softly, yet powerfully. But sometimes, the grandiose, colourful Indian in me takes over. I indulge in celebratory, statement pieces—a playful detour from my usual minimalism. And I love it. But no matter how far I wander, I always find my way back to balance, to simplicity, to Thulya. Thulya isn’t a big brand. It’s not mass-produced. It’s just me—crafting each piece with my own hands, one at a time. It’s not just about adornment; it’s about meaning. It’s for those who appreciate authenticity and understated beauty. Thank you for being here. I hope you find something that speaks to you. — Sudha
