Proving her metal

Edgy jewellery designer Suhani Pittie’s show named ‘Child of Eden’ only served to strengthen her position as one of India’s most appreciated jewellery designers. Seeking to revive the Bidri star print,the Chand Bali and the filigree work,(Pittie lives in Hyderabad and is inspired by the city’s heritage),the collection boasted of fine craftsmanship as seen through her cuffs,bangles,collar bands,neckpieces,belts,earrings and even hairbands,anklets,brooches and bags. From leaves and roses to a swan’s wing,a peacock and a hornbill’s beak,the designer’s love for nature spoke loudly. Metals continued to be Pittie’s primary raw material: she had fashioned these beautiful pieces out of plated copper,steel and cord. The black-and-white clothes too helped accentuate the beauty of the accessories on display.
