A Tiger Trail Story

A client who loved wildlife and recently had returned from a tiger safari, wanted to mark a special milestone on his & his wife’s marriage anniversary. He wanted to gift a momento to remember this special trip and occasion. We met over a cup of coffee, where he shared his entire experience about the adventurous trip, his thoughts and ideas on the exquisite piece he wanted to make for his better half. He shared some pictures that he had shot on the trip after which we brainstormed a lot and got the direction to work upon the masterpiece.

He said, “I can’t wait to see the final piece, this will be the perfect gift for our anniversary. I am sure she would treasure this for the rest of her life

Subsequent to this bespoke order, I travelled to Ranthambhor forest sanctuary & heard about how the tiger population in India dwindled from 100 years ago to Today, How encroachments into their habitat & poaching has taken a toll on their numbers.

My thoughts then translated into a capsule collection to bring awareness to this issue.

I came back to the studio the next day and immediately started working on the clients request as I was equally eager to make this unusual bespoke piece for him.

I shared the entire conversation with my design team, we started putting down some rough sketches of earrings & bracelets which incorporated the tiger print but still spoke high jewellery.

We invited the client to our boutique, shared some sketches of earrings and bracelets based on the tiger print theme, we also inculcated some of his ideas that he shared on the design. Together we started shortlisting sketches, after a lot of discussion he finalized upon this bold and statement bracelet.
