Embroidered Assertion Jacket

A muted-color jacket means that you may put on a brooch with brilliant colours. And even one thing that’s completely gold for instance. It can stand out. I selected the sunshine inexperienced “Change Of Fortunes #InTime 02” 2.5 inch diameter brooch. It seems virtually neon on this jacket. Easy gold lengthy earrings that dangle vertically, praise the gold leaf from the brooch. For make-up, I normally keep on with a clear basis, a pink lipstick, barely darker eyebrows & a bronzer on my cheek hole.

Structured Shirt & Dhoti

The shirt is printed, so finest to choose a single shade brooch. Numerous permutations and mixture of pink and blue make purple / lilac, so, I believed that “The Magic Returns #InTime 02” 2.5 inch brooch would work right here. A smaller sized brooch may get completely misplaced within the print of the shirt.

Off-Shoulder Gown

The “gown” is definitely the dhoti / skirt from the Tarun Tahiliani ensemble above. That’s how my mind works. Make a brand new outfit from the half of one other outfit. If it matches, why not.

I picked a pink one from my Diwali 2020 Artwork Collection, the “Requited #InTime 02”, 2.5 inches diameter brooch. It really works nicely with the stable blue and enhances the pearls and gold of the multi-string necklace.

The necklace was bought from the Amrapali retailer at Khan Market, a couple of years in the past. I don’t recall when. The ear rings are from the identical retailer as nicely.

Embroidered Cocktail Gown

My most favorite gown in my wardrobe. Often, I put on it with simply the gold ear rings. However one can get away with further bling throughout the festive season. I picked the largest piece, “Of Reminiscences #InTime 03”, 3 inch diameter brooch. I paint these huge items for myself as a result of I LOVE sporting massive brooches and most of my purchasers desire 2 and a couple of.5 inch diameter brooches. There are some purchasers, in fact, who love the massive brooches as a lot as I do, which is why I all the time launch the work on my store.

Ear rings had been my first treasured jewelry buy from Amrapali in Khan Market.

Satin & Georgette Sleeveless Mini-Gown

A cutest pink gown that ends 4 inches above my knees. Delicate embellished & sparse embroidery on the georgette overlay. The blue, gold and copper “Dig Deep #InTime 02”, 2.5 inches diameter brooch is what I picked to pair with this ensemble. I didn’t need to add extra shade with the jewellry, therefore caught to silver. However I additionally needed to maintain it heavy and stylish.

This might simply be a day AND night time look.

Block-Printed Silk Jacket

Heavy prints on a lightweight Chanderi material. A proper collar. Matching treasured jewelry. So, the colour of the portray needed to be one thing that may stand out even from a distance. “Elevation #InTime 01”, 2 inches diameter brooch, is considered one of my favourites from the Diwali 2020 Artwork Collection.

Jewelry was a present.

The Again of The Brooch

All my brooches have a magnet clasp on the again.

No pins.

This was a alternative I made as a result of I completely abhor it when pins poke via treasured silk and cashmere. The magnets that I exploit are fairly sturdy however is not going to maintain nicely when worn on very thick material like double layered tweed for instance. The magnet holds nice on a few of my thickest puff jackets and on all method of overcoats and silks and sweaters, and many others.

Each bit has its identify written on the again, signed by me and the yr of the art work can be talked about.

Every buy is accompanied by a Certificates of Authenticity to assist set up provenance in case of a future re-sale of the art work.
