Our Story
House of Heer is the convergence of two worlds into one.
Our founder, Keerit Kaur, was raised between her Punjabi heritage and her daily life in the diaspora which meant a constant navigation of two identities, a constant layering of parts of herself. Jewelry became a place where all the layers could exist together. Growing up experimenting with jewelry alongside sisters, aunts, cousins, mothers, friends, became a way to create a new world of her own.
House of Heer is that world.
It is the fusion of tradition and modernity - where craftsmanship meets wearability. Each piece is designed and created to move between worlds, just like the women who wear these pieces will.
The name of our brand reflects this universality. In Punjabi, ਹੀਰ "heer" is diamond. Heer is also the name of the iconic heroine from Heer Ranjha, a Punjabi folk story of star crossed lovers. In the story, Heer is remembered not only for love, but for her defiance, her depth, and her refusal to live a life that was not her own. Over time, her name has come to represent every woman’s story.
