Poetry in Gems
Chandeliers that transform light into living color—gemstones arranged in spectral progressions.
The Nandanvan Chandelier
50,000 carats of emeralds in a single chandelier. Commissioned for a state dinner hosted by Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
"Nandanvan" refers to Indra's celestial garden in Hindu cosmology. The chandelier brings a fragment of paradise into material form—emeralds arranged to evoke the verdant splendour of divine gardens.
