The collection draws on India’s love of gems and Ancient Hindu Cosmology; where gemstones are believed to be more than just ‘pretty objects’ and are imbued with symbolic value relating to deities, planets and days of the week and are considered capable of malefic and beneficial energies.
AW20 draws inspiration on ancient Indian ‘Navaratna’ Jewellery, which was predominately worn by Kings and emperors (Maharaja). The Sanskrit term, which means 'Nine Gems' is jewellery which contains one of each stone affiliated with the planetary bodies, which in turn represented the 'Navagrah', 'Nine Celestial Deities'. Ruby for Surya (Representing the Sun) is always at the center of such jewels; Pearl for Chandra (Moon), Red Coral for Mangala (Mars), Emerald for Budha (Mercury), Yellow Sapphire for Brhaspati (Jupiter), Diamond for Shukra (Venus), Blue sapphire for Shani (Saturn), Hessonite for Rahu (Ascending Node), Cat’s Eye for Ketu (Descending Node). By placing all the possible gems together on a single object, the wearer is believed to retain complete cosmic harmony on his or her person.
