Jewelry with Stories to Tell………….

What I like about our Indian jewelry is its  uniqueness -  I feel it is not a design or technique of our jewelry that makes it only one of its kind but  a beautiful portrayal  of Indian art and culture through it makes it truly matchless.  In India , jewelry is  not  just a style statement but a fact of life , Its  a tradition followed by us for thousands of years , right from Ramayana , Mahabharata,  Raja Maharaja era to  till date .

Believe,  India is only one country in the world where jewelry is not only adorned by human  but created as an offering to deities in our temples and also  magnificently decorated as a part of historic tradition on elephants , camels , cows , horses in various parts of the country . The predominant fact of Indian jewelry is that ornaments are crafted  from head to toe to enhance wearers beauty . In India,  each  part of the country represents different  Jewelry style  whether it is a filigree work from Orissa and Andhra Pradesh or minakari or kundan work from Jaipur ,  pachchikam jewelry from Gujarat,  Tribal jewelry from Rajasthan , Nagaland , Thewa jewelry from Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh, temple jewelry of Nagercoil,

I feel Tanishq is one brand in India that captures Indian essence so stunningly , with each piece of their collections having a rare story to tell , timeless pieces  that will never go out of style

I am in love with the way Tanishq relives vivid art , culture and history of India through its breathtaking designs.

Would you like to have a glimpse of it ??? I know for sure yes yes yes …..

Jewelry in India would continue to  narrate tales  from its  rich cultural heritage and folklore , from  colors , from  emotions, from passion , from fine workmanship  , from  seamless Indian beauty  and so on …….

Picture perfect houses of Liza Bruce and Nicholas Alvis Vega !!!

Liza Bruce is  a famous swimwear designer. Liza Bruce and her artist husband, Nicholas Alvis Vega have an incredible eye for detail and their passion and love of design show  through in their  home decor. I really love when people push the boundaries and are not afraid to experiment , whether it is use of bold colors   or mixing of old world classiness with chic modern strokes  to make a strong design statement  that reflects their own design style  and for sure  this  couple  has it all , a proud  owner of   beautiful homes, bold interiors that  can uplift moods .  I love EVERYTHING about their  homes in India and Morocco  and would like  to take you guys on a virtual tour with me !!!!!!!!!!!

Needless to say , Indian influence is so prominent into their Jaipur home interiors.
