Welcome to my blog

Im exploring aspects of mehndi,designs,techniques,significance,function and historical background. I incorporate patterns that are either modern and traditional,Indian or Arabic into contemporary jewellery.

draped bracelet/necklace

figure 1


figure 2

figure 1 and 2 is the prototype that i made for anglo platinum.at this stage it looks like it could be a chain or a bracelet.

figure 3

figure 4

figure 5

this was the pierced out pattern in figure 3,4,5 ,i thought i would use to make a ring, using the garnet as a set stone,the colour looks like the colour of a new mehndi stain. 


figure 6
i think attaching the chain to the pierced piece looks like they belong together but with a different stone. A citrine as shown in figure 7,8,9 .now looks like the colour of the mehndi stain fading.

This piece could also be used as a necklace when opened up like shown in figure 10 and 11
