IshaRa Gems & Jewels

Five working dossiers

Collections as lines of enquiry.

Each register studies a material or construction question. The dossiers overlap at the bench, where the individual stone still determines the final setting.

Collection I

Rajputana Light

Strong silhouettes cut with narrow channels of light, informed by Jaipur's stone screens and measured courtly objects.

Ornate interior with yellow walls and detailed tile work.

Ornate interior with yellow walls and detailed tile work.

Rajputana Light begins with mass and then removes it with intention. Bezels protect important stones, engraved lines clarify the face, and open galleries admit light without pretending that every gem needs the same construction. The collection is architectural in proportion but quiet on the body.

01
Yellow gold with polished and brushed planes
02
Emerald, yellow sapphire and diamond
03
Open backs for inspection where the stone permits

A commission begins with the intended object, scale and wearing context. Stone selection and drawings follow through direct conversation.

Collection II

Jharokha Geometry

Apertures, ledges and repeated bays translated into precise, wearable structures.

Gold-colored necklace.
0102
Gold-colored necklace.

This collection studies the jharokha as a system of frame, interval and shadow. Its forms remain abstract. Repeated bays organise stones, recessed edges protect them, and the reverse is treated as part of the object rather than a hidden surface.

01
Gold profiles built from ruled intervals
02
Diamond as a point of light, not surface coverage
03
Integrated hinges, catches and articulated joints

Proportions are adjusted at the bench after the wearer and the selected stones are considered together.

Collection III

Gulabi Bagh

Rose, red and garden tones organised in open floral settings with visible structure.

Woman in red and gold sari dress.
0102
Woman in red and gold sari dress.

Gulabi Bagh does not copy a flower literally. Petal intervals, branching joints and changing colour provide the underlying order. Spinel, ruby and tourmaline are chosen for individual character, with enough space around each stone for colour and construction to remain legible.

01
Spinel, ruby and tourmaline selected stone by stone
02
Open floral galleries with serviceable settings
03
Polished edges against quieter satin planes

Natural colour variation is established before layout. The atelier shares treatment information and the proposed setting approach before work begins.

Collection IV

Celestial Navratna

A study of the nine-stone tradition through documented gems and restrained contemporary settings.

Natural diamond crystal or mineral specimen in close catalogue view.
0102
Natural diamond crystal or mineral specimen in close catalogue view.

Celestial Navratna treats the traditional sequence with respect and clear disclosure. A chart consultation, when requested, is separate from gemological assessment. Each stone is identified on its own merits, and the finished object carries no promise of a particular outcome.

01
The traditional nine-gem vocabulary
02
Individual treatment and identity records
03
Settings planned for the durability of each material

A Kundali-led piece proceeds only after a private consultation. Cultural interpretation and material disclosure remain distinct parts of the conversation.

Collection V

Modern Kundan

Hand-fitted kundan construction clarified by lighter profiles, articulation and recorded stone disclosure.

A woman in a red and gold bridal outfit.
0102
A woman in a red and gold bridal outfit.

Modern Kundan retains the patient fitting of high-purity gold foil around a stone while reconsidering weight, reverse finish and movement. Pearls and articulated links soften the line. Traditional technique is treated as a living bench practice, not an applied motif.

01
High-purity gold foil fitted by hand
02
Cultured pearls and individually assessed coloured stones
03
Hinged panels with smooth, inspectable reverses

Scale, movement and wearing context are resolved in conversation before a kundan commission is laid out.

Commission close

A collection is a beginning, not a fixed menu.

The atelier studies the intended object, scale, stone and wearing context directly. Material records and drawings follow that conversation.
