Renowned luxury jewellery designer Poonam Soni and celebrity artist Nawaz Singhania lately announced the launch of their all new jewellery label – S2, at a Special Preview hosted at Tote On the Turf, Mumbai.S2, a new range of limited edition signature jewellery represents the coming together of the distinctive artistic strengths of both Nawaz and Poonam. A pioneer of jewelled art and bespoke jewellery, Poonam has conceptualized this collection in the form of innovative French sautoirs. This collection is cleverly woven around miniature paintings by Nawaz. The 2011 range of S2 jewellery has been christened the ‘Born Free’ series.
Each of the French sautoirs of this range, inspired by Bohemian styling uses multi mediums in stones, gems & leather. They are detachable and can either be worn as a long drape or as a neck piece.” The paintings by Nawaz, as part of the sautoirs, are oil on canvas and are of a 2×4 sq inch dimension, revolving around the concept of movement and speed.
Talking about S2 brand, designer Poonam Soni says, “I’ve treated these sautoirs as stylish yet casual neck pieces using a mixed medium of silver, gold, antique rose cuts with precious gems. With unusual stones, the S2 range of French sautoirs symbolize an art style that intricately balances ancient Indian craftsmanship in patchi style motifs, weaving them around a modern concept. The ethereal blend of the enamoring ancient with the trendy modern is the key characteristic feature of the jewellery pieces. The antique rose cut studded silver chains are punctuated at places by ‘bugs’ and real leather loops.”
