Samant Chauhan X Symetree

Samant Chauhan and Symetree Fine Jewels come together in Khan Market, New Delhi, bringing contemporary fashion and fine jewellery into one shared space.

There is a certain ease in seeing clothes and jewellery together. In India, the two have always been closely connected, whether through the textiles we inherit, the jewellery we wear or the pieces that eventually become part of a family’s story. The new Khan Market space by Samant Chauhan and Symetree Fine Jewels builds on that connection in a way that feels contemporary but familiar.

Opened recently, the space brings Samant Chauhan’s handwoven Bhagalpuri silks and contemporary prêt together with Symetree’s fine jewellery. The two brands come from different creative disciplines, but there is a natural point of connection in the way both look at Indian tradition through a present-day lens.

For Chauhan, there is also a shared cultural reference. Symetree comes from Jaipur, Rajasthan, a place whose craft traditions have long been part of India’s design vocabulary.

“Symetree also comes from Jaipur, Rajasthan, and that is very much at the core of our design sensibility as well. We look at a lot of contemporary ideas, but we always maintain that connection with tradition. My brand sensibility has not changed; it has evolved. Every time, the question is what new can we give our clients while staying true to where we come from.”

Symetree Fine Jewels brings another kind of craftsmanship to the setting. Founded by Abhishek Haritwal, the house works with rare gemstones across bespoke high jewellery, modern Jadau, Navratna and contemporary collections. Its jewellery draws on the traditions of Delhi and Jaipur, but the approach is not nostalgic. Familiar forms are reinterpreted with a cleaner, more contemporary sensibility.

Placed together, the two collections reveal an interesting connection. A handwoven fabric can change the character of a piece of jewellery, just as the right jewellery can alter the way a garment is perceived. Here, visitors can take in both at once, rather than experiencing fashion and jewellery as separate categories.

The space itself keeps things understated. With a gallery-like quality, it allows the clothes, textiles and jewellery to hold attention without an overly elaborate retail presentation. There is room to look closely, notice the materials and appreciate the work that has gone into each piece.

That feels particularly relevant to the way Indian luxury is being understood today. There is growing interest in where something comes from, who made it, what materials were used and how traditional craftsmanship can have a place in contemporary life. Rarity still matters, of course, but so do authenticity, individuality and the pleasure of owning something with a story behind it.

Khan Market is a fitting setting for this collaboration. One of New Delhi’s enduring destinations for fashion, design and lifestyle, it has a character of its own—familiar, independent and constantly evolving. The new Samant Chauhan and Symetree Fine Jewels space adds to that mix without trying to change it.

What is most appealing about the collaboration is that neither brand loses its identity. Samant Chauhan remains rooted in textiles and contemporary fashion, while Symetree continues its exploration of gemstones and Indian jewellery traditions.

The result is a thoughtful coming together of two forms of craftsmanship, with enough difference between them to keep the experience interesting.

For those drawn to contemporary Indian fashion, fine jewellery and the continuing evolution of Indian craftsmanship, the new Khan Market destination offers a chance to see all three in conversation—through fabric, form, gemstones and the details that make something worth looking at twice.
