The German word ‘Gestalt’ refers to the essence or shape of an entity’s complete form. Jewellery designer Malvika Vaswani, who has a new cross-disciplinary brand by the same name, is out with a collection of jewellery inspired by the idea of Gestalt. The collection includes necklaces, rings, bracelets, earrings, accessories, headpieces and palm cuffs.

Each piece boasts of a stark geometry; the jewellery is made of base metal brass and plated with rose gold. It also uses
the handicraft Bidri (art of laying silver/copper on gun metal) that Vaswani has been working on repurposing. The handicraft originated from Persia and now finds itself nested in India’s Deccan region.
