The first solo jewellery show by Madhuree is titled "The Pleasantness: The Story of Madhuree." It is devoted to her intense fascination with nature's beauty and the influence that nature has had on her life and current thinking.

When questioned about her sources of inspiration, she recalled always having a passion for jewellery and growing up wearing her mother's silver and gold pieces. Her interest in organic and natural jewellery dates back to her childhood.

The exhibition will remain open for all until 8 July, 2022. On Monday through Saturday, the gallery is open from 3PM to 9PM; it remains closed on Sunday.
