The exquisite jewellery for Sanjay Leela Bhansali‘s monumental web series Heeramandi was designed by Shri Paramani Jewels. Inspired by their skill, Sanjay Leela Bhansali worked with them to make exquisite jewelry items set with priceless Basra pearls.
Shri Paramani Jewels creator Vinay Gupta talks about returning to his origins to create jewels that honor the history of the company.
The vast HEERAMANDI collection took three years to design; a whole studio was devoted to this labor of love, which brought 10,000 gems to the world and restored artwork dating back more than 200 years.
Handcrafting jewelry for an epic was not difficult, but the delight of reconnecting with my ancestry, lineage, and legacy as a descendant of Mughal treasurers over 200 years ago was the highlight.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali perused the collection, particularly drawn to the stunning Basra pearls gracing pieces such as the pasa, tika, nath, and necklace. Honoring the legacy of handcrafted Mughal jewelry with incredible devotion, we elegantly captured the mysteries of history steeped in an era of eternal heritage.
Mughal jewellery history is rich and fascinating, with excellent craftsmanship and unique designs. Mughal rulers were patrons of the arts, encouraging skilled artisans to create magnificent jewelry items for themselves and their courts.
Mughal jewellery included a variety of valuable jewels such as diamonds, emeralds, rubies, and pearls, which added a sumptuous touch to the items. Artisans used unique techniques like as Kundan setting, filigree work, and enamel to create exquisite patterns and textures on jewelry.
Mughal jewellery was regarded as a symbol of riches and power by the royal family, who inherited spectacular items through centuries. I found and loved the global legacy that Mughal jewels has left.
To be true to the design, the era, and the story. Each garment is produced, styled, and worn in the most realistic manner, bringing you to the era.
Each carefully created necklace, meticulously piled with earrings and tikas, represents a healthy balance of elegance. Over a three-year period, we painstakingly created kilos of jewelry using ancient handicraft techniques, showcasing our devotion to quality and precision that dates back centuries.
