Louvers - Window to History

The Louvers jewellery piece serves as a captivating tribute to the rich cultural heritage of India’s tribal communities, particularly the Konyak and Naga tribes from Nagaland, India who have historically adorned themselves with intricate jewellery crafted from porcupine quills. This organic material symbolizes identity, strength, and a deep-rooted connection to nature. Crafted in luxurious 18kt gold, Louvers showcases the jaali technique—a delicate lattice design that acts as a lens through which history is seen. The jaali is meticulously inlaid on the porcupine quill and revealed through a portrait cut, allowing wearers to glimpse the intricate craftsmanship and cultural stories that lie beneath. Accented with diamonds and onyx, the vibrant green and pink hues enameled within the jaali pattern echo the natural beauty and rich colors of the environment, further enhancing the piece’s visual appeal.

In Louvers, each element tells a story: the organic quill reflects ancestral traditions, the jaali lattice invites viewers to explore history, and the portrait cut frames this connection beautifully. This exquisite pair of earrings can be worn in two ways: with the hanging for a statement look or without for a more subtle elegance. Louvers celebrates India’s cultural richness by merging traditional materials and techniques with modern sophistication, making it a unique and meaningful addition to contemporary jewellery.
