With over decades of experience in handcrafting fine jewellery Delhi based designer Dolly Oberoi has come to be recognised for her unique designs sensibility and impeccable finish.
The Lotus Goddess collection is inspired by nature and is set in 18K gold studded with diamonds and finished with myriad forms of hand enamelling showcasing handcuffs, earrings, pendant sets, cat collars and heavy bridal sets.
Dolly’s new collection focuses on various forms and shapes and hues of Lotus drawing everyone, thus bringing it closer to nature. Plique-à-jour enamel that originated in France in the 14th century means “open to light”. This technique is a different task to master because of the tremendous skills involved in creating such fragile objects.
Artefacts made of plique-à-jour is uncommon and extremely valuable for several reasons. Very few enamellers have the proficiency to make good plique à jour works, and they are therefore not found in abundance. Further, the time and effort required to create a single plique à jour object is considerable.
