Sonam Kapoor’s Cannes Look Blends European And Indian idioms
Kalyan Jewellers’ global brand ambassador Sonam Kapoor showcased 18th century and Victorian era inspired dark romance jewellery with Indian undertones at Cannes 2017. Designed by sister Rhea Kapoor and the team at Kalyan Jewellers, this stone-studded, rose-gold collection can only be termed as wearable art. 12 artisans worked for 35 days to create these hauntingly beautiful and timeless pieces. Her glittering, customized accessories included dramatic haat phools and lightweight shoulder duster earrings – each a spectacular statement piece. Sonam was wearing a pale pink gown by designer Elie Saab.
To match the shade of pink used in the gown, Rhea Kapoor worked closely with Kalyan Jewellers and chose tourmaline – an exquisite gemstone. This was paired with brilliantly sparkling polished diamonds, strings of fresh water pearls and muted Polki diamonds all set in a rose gold base with just the right hint of white gold. At 5.23 inches, the 18 carat shoulder duster earrings surprisingly weigh just 60.43 grams. The Haat Phools have a more elaborate design with multiple pearl strands connecting daintily from the finger to the bracelet, and the pair weighs 171.09 grams.
