Platinum Jewellery stirred by Art
Rajiv
Popley launches an
Art
inspired platinum jewellery collection
In
a unique effort, renowned jeweller & a fêted artist Rajiv Popley merges two
art forms to bring to you an exquisite line of platinum jewellery inspired by
his own collection of paintings. A curated collection that can never be made
twice, all originals in rare and of precious Platinum!
The
collection is deeply inspired by Salvador Dali, his newest series of oil on
canvas models surrealism at its core immersing a spiritual and meditative
feature. This new promising series is blended with Hindu culture and the land
of Kabir - Kaashi.
One
of the most captivating pieces named Kaashi Nath is inspired from the tranquil
phenomenon at Kashi where the sun rises, the bells ring & the holy fire
purifies the air. The yellow sapphire surrounded with rose cuts set in
platinum, circled by enamel and baroque pearls symbolises the serenity at
Kaashi during the sunrise aarti on the Ganga ghats.
Another
riveting piece from this collection is named the “Circle of Life” which
embodies the entangled nature of life, death and infinite nature of energy. The
flamingos – a powerful animal totem in the spiritual universe, symbolize the
release of old emotions and represents new experiences that journey along the
circle of life.
Taking
inspiration from this, is the ethereal pair of earrings crafted in platinum
combined with pink gold in alternating design, depicting eternity. The flamingo
wings are fabricated in Platinum & Rose gold embedded with Rose Cut
Solitaires outlined with hallow of brilliant cut diamonds
This
piece of art also extends inspiration to another striking pendant symbolic of
the blue moon in the painting. As the blue moon glows in the light of the Sun,
while the flamingos dance happily....blue sapphire set in pink gold dangles
from the radial star of marquise rose cuts set in platinum centred with yellow
sapphire.
Speaking
on this specially curated collection Rajiv Popley said, "I have expressed
my passion by creating art-on-canvas that will adorn the wall & then
translated this into platinum ornaments as art to be worn & flaunted".
In
a tribute to Kabir, Rajiv interprets the famous poem, “I said to my longing heart,
what is this river you want to cross?
There
are no travellers before you, there is no road. Do you see anyone moving or
resting on that bank? There is no river at all, and no boat, and no boatman.
There is not even a rope to tow the boat, and no one to pull it. There is no
earth, no sky, no time, no-thing, no shore, no ford!” on canvas.
This
Doha entrancingly translates into a piece of jewellery symbolic of victory of
the spirit over the senses, of intelligence & wisdom, of knowledge. Blue
petals woven onto blue enamel unfurl to reveal the lustre of the diamonds set
with pristine pearls.
Rare
and precious, platinum jewellery is truly a perennial artist favourite. All
over the world, designers prefer precious platinum to create master pieces
because of its versatility, and because it is the most secure setting for any
precious gemstone. It’s no surprise that Rajiv chose the rarest of metals
Platinum to interpret his artwork!
