The story behind the design
Pongal
For Pongal, discuss the particular scene or motif the family wishes to commemorate. The name of the occasion should lead to a conversation about the recipient's own celebration, rather than an assumed decorative formula. Choose one recognisable focal point and agree any Tamil wording in the proof. A note from the hosts can record the gathering and the reason for the gift alongside the finished piece.
A Small Token in a Big, Energetic Day
Makar Sankranti and Pongal can bring movement, brightness, and the feeling of a season turning. In the middle of a busy day, a very small act of attention can stand out precisely because everything else feels so lively. A brief hand-to-hand exchange, a pause to notice someone, or a quiet blessing may create a pocket of intimacy.
Welcoming a Child into Family Attention
A first Lohri can matter to relatives because it gathers attention around a child who has newly entered the family’s shared life. The baby will not remember the day, yet older people may remember their own feelings clearly: delight, protectiveness, laughter, and the sudden sense that the family story has opened into a new chapter.
From a story to a keepsake
Start with the person receiving the gift and the story you want it to hold. A family reference, the exact name of a place or a short account of the occasion gives the enquiry a useful beginning. Include any preferred wording and say which details are essential. The finished artwork and presentation are agreed with you before production.
All curated orders are made to order, with a minimum of 20 pieces per design and weight. Coin preferences are 10g, 15g, 20g, 25g, 50g, 100g. Weight describes the metal quantity; dimensions, relief and finish are separate parts of the specification. An enquiry helps establish feasibility and does not reserve stock or confirm a delivery date.
The presentation can hold the words that do not fit on the object: who gave it, why the motif was chosen and which moment it remembers. We discuss the kit or box as part of the quote, with its price and tax shown separately from the coin. Custom artwork and other additional work is confirmed before you decide to proceed.
Check names, scripts and the proposed depiction with the people who know the intended context. A commercial commission does not establish a temple, religious body, artist or other institution’s approval. Where a different format would suit the recipient better, the enquiry can explore that too.
