An expert in jewellery techniques, Suhani used Minakari, lace work, folding, pressing, shredding, curling, levelling and extrusion with great skill and brought in Indian Repousse to give glamour to her jewellery.

The bold giant neckpiece with 3D rose motifs, which were Suhani’s favoured design, looked imposing around the model’s neck.  The giant rose linked bracelet and the very graphic earrings were stunners on the ramp. Layers of petals in metal with tiny floral detailing were a part of a magnificent necklace; while sprays of interconnected leaves formed a stunning piece of jewellery.

Minakari suspender necklace, vintage harness, belt and palm cuffs looked very New-Age yet a touch of heritage reflected in them. Pressed metal gloves, ear buttons, folded metal detachable necklace, the metal two-sided neckpiece, shredded and metal cuffs were breathtaking in their design, craftsmanship and finish.
