Delicate, trellised bracelets with intricate patterns, filigreed fantasies crafted into delicate rings, charming balis and fluted necklaces - Every piece is a work of art.

On a recent visit to Chennai, I stumbled upon a treasure trove! Yes, literally…Rasvihar is a sprawling jewellery showroom, peaceful and peace-giving. It almost felt like having walked into an art gallery. Mind you, the jewellery I saw, was no less than art!

I was told, the name implies “an abode or quest for real beauty”. They define beauty as the kind that involves all the senses and electrifies the very air around it. The aim is to transport the “rasika” to a higher plane of experience.

What I found in this treasure trove was truly mind boggling. Delicate, trellised bracelets with intricate patterns, filigreed fantasies crafted into delicate rings, charming balis and fluted necklaces. Every piece, I must admit, is a work of art. Interesting to note that lace has inspired jewellery. Wearable art?

Needless to say, Mission accomplished! Every NRI’s dream is to pick up exclusive, wearable jewellery. I certainly did…The inspiration for Rasvihar’s lace jewellery has come from history itself. Lace played an important role in European religious rituals, and was always associated with royalty. Rasvihar is probably the first gallery in the world to curate a Lace Collection, entirely created in finely wrought gold. It is indeed best defined as a work of art, designed by an artist and shaped by a master craftsman.

Rasvihar prides itself in touting jewellery making as a refined art. It upholds the same reverence for art and the artist, that is handed down through Indian tradition. The lady behind, is a reclusive Ahalya.
Rasvihar also arranges for a private showing, should you like privacy as you pick your collectors item.
