www.womanthismonth.com 31 March 2015 The history of Indian art is as old as civilisation itself. Indian craftsmen have long been renowned across the world for their intricacy, eye to detail and innovation. The Taj Mahal or the temples of South India are great examples. This gift of crafting delicate patterns has transcended into the art of jewellery making with Indian adornments characterised by elaborated texture and motifs. The pieces worn by the Indian royalty are fabled and many masterpieces adorn museums and the coffers of private collectors across the world. The jewellery is seldom developed in the bright yellow hue of gold. Instead, artisan jewellers choose the antique finish. Matte gold is the perfect neutral backdrop for the complex and colourful minakari work, also known as enamel work, the art of painting jewellery with patterns. The technique involves a variety of colours and is painted using a thin brush. The Tanvi collection by Devji evokes the royalty of India. The Tanvi antique range comprises pendants, necklaces and bridal necklace sets, bangles and statement cuff bracelets. Using the age-old technique of mixing alloys, the collection stands as a class apart. The matte-finished gold lends grandeur to the pieces, making them stunningly understated. Items are designed by fusing contemporary elements with traditional forms. The result is a wondrous amalgamation of expression, making Tanvi a perfect complement to your personal dressing style, be it traditional Indian, Western or Arabic. The Tanvi collection is crafted in pure 22k gold; however, special alloys are used to create the antique finished colour. The intricate design makes Tanvi an heirloom collection, worthy enough to be passed from generation to generation. With jewellery trends now shifting towards understated glamour, the collection is the perfect choice for a discerning lady or bride who wants to look glamorous and different. Jewellery making at Devji is a passion that has been nourished over the past 65 years. Every piece is accompanied by the four invisible labels of Purity, Quality, Craftsmanship and Value, making the brand a name that stands for gold.
