The “Shezmin” collection by Pallavi Foley for Abharan Jewellers was a breath-taking offering inspired by the fragrant white jasmine buds derive near the Himalayas and the Ganges Plains.

The gorgeous handmade jewellery had bunches of pearls entwined, draped and layered to create perfect 3D ornaments with a unique fluidity and natural touch. Working with 18 K gold, diamonds, silver and fresh water pearls, Pallavi Foley visualised a collection that was perfectly hand crafted in detail and designed, giving it an Avant Garde look.

Multiple rows of pearls were draped on the models and at times caught with motifs at the side. A line of long slender necklaces had pendants with gold leaves and floral bursts were seen over rows of chains. The jasmine motif in a circular sphere at the end of the chain was elegant in its fragile feminine beauty.
