Dhathu – Metal Collection

Finally, I am done with my Metal collection – Dhathu and all ready to launch it. To begin with here is the promo poster…
Its my color, mood, and inspiration board for the collection. This collection boasts of many first for me – working with Patina inks being the foremost. I have worked with sheet metal before, but this was the first time I worked with Brass sheet metal. When I began researching for this collection  I wanted it to be a a line of jewelry that was unique, totally new and completely handmade. But As most of you, my hand problems prevented me from proceeding. But I didnt want to give up. So I divided the collection into 2 parts – one with hand made components(fabricated by me) and one with machine made components, both exciting nonetheless. The result is a new, incredibly Indian indigenous collection that’s been made by exploring a lot of western techniques that even Vintaj wouldnt have thought of.
