An elaborate composition of colour, kundan and ornament, The Zuleikha Choker is conceived as a jewel of unabashed celebration. At its heart sits a sculptural central medallion, surrounded by smaller ornamental forms in deep emerald green and ruby tones. Layers of kundan, pearls and suspended stone drops give the piece movement and richness, while the intricately gathered pearl strands and hand-tied dori soften its grandeur. Rooted in the splendour of traditional Indian jewellery, Zuleikha is not meant to disappear into an ensemble. It is the piece the ensemble is built around. Ornament, colour and memory — gathered into one extraordinary jewel.
