Above our Wattala showroom is a small workshop where most Jayani pieces begin. The benches are worn smooth, and several of the goldsmiths who sit at them have been with us for more than twenty years.
A single kasu malai can pass through five pairs of hands: casting, shaping each coin, linking, setting and a final polish. Nothing leaves the bench until it has been weighed, checked and hallmarked.
It's slower than buying in finished stock, but it means we can adjust a bangle, repair an heirloom or make a piece from scratch, all under one roof.
