In nature, nothing is complete and everything is complete is the first thought one can think when one sees this pair of earrings.

The Galaxie Collection redefines jewelry design by merging cosmic inspiration with meticulous craftsmanship. Derived from the Big Bang, Taichi Yin and Yang, the eye, and the cushion hexagon, the design symbolizes rebirth and prosperity. Australian Crystal Opal, with its vibrant play of color, presents challenges due to its softness and translucency. These were overcome using custom crafted settings and a blackened gold backing, ensuring enhanced fiery hues and durability when paired with 14K white and yellow gold.
The collection takes inspiration from the step well, known as Kolam in Kerala. The geometric layout and symmetric steps contain water reflecting the lush greenery of its surroundings. The design uses clean, bold lines that coil around the smooth cylinder shaped labradorite gemstone. The labradorite has been used here to depict water.
Safety Pin is a ring shaped as a fully functional safety pin. The ring sits over three of the wearer's fingers and can also be used as a brooch, pendant or pin. Safety Pin is made of 18ct yellow gold and set with multicoloured gemstones of 2.09 carats, with a total weight of 14.40 grams. A 3D model was prepared, then a wax prototype was printed and cast in gold. The cast was finished by hand and polished. The gemstones were fixed in place, and the parts were then joined. The design aims to remain lightweight, wearable and playful.
Astrifer is a pair of earrings made with natural freshwater pearls and cubic zirconia. The design conceals the metal connectors, so the pearls and stones appear to float around the ear.

Three holes at different heights let the wearer select the position that suits the shape and size of the earlobe, for a secure and comfortable fit. A triple layer of nickel plating, thick gold plating and nano sealing improves resistance to wear and discoloration.
