In 2014, she completed an intensive silversmithing course at Ruth Prowse School of Art in Cape Town where she brought to life bird skulls, mandibles and shells creating one of her signature collections Bird & Bone. In 2020, Ambica explored a silversmithing village in Bali where she now works hand in hand with skilled artists who are generationally trained as silversmiths and master wood and stone carvers. Her new collection Ancestral is a deep exploration of adornments of the past, heirlooms that are symbolic of a tribe, their land & cultural heritage. This collection is a modern interpretation of rare, antique jewellery ‘finds’ into wearable pieces while celebrating these unique tribes & cultures. As Ambica continues to explore working with sustainable materials, she recently introduced a linen clothing line to the overall collection, where comfort meets style in down-to-earth bohemian patterns. Designed and curated by Ambica, handmade by a wonderful group of women’s seamstresses in Bali as well as two tailors in Kenya.
