High Sari Odisha Ring
14ct yellow gold, 18.39ct champagne zircon, white diamond triangles, lacquer enamel
One of a Colour
Inspired by a temple sari from Odissha on the East coast of India, this boulle ring holds an 18ct champagne zircon, with diamond fire. Set on the side with triangle diamonds, the ring features a graphic representation of the peacock, a symbol of power, strength, and confidence, associated with Juno, Goddess of Goddesses and the astrological symbol Sagittarius.
The Sari collection is made in London; at least 4 people with over a century of learned skill are involved in the production of each Alice Cicolini piece.
Inspired by the myriad patterns, weaves and colours of this iconic 5 yard length of fabric, the sari holds so much symbolism; a marker of national and regional identity, different patterns and weaves can also be worn to mark the passing of the seasons, and the wrapping style indicating what traditions of work the wearer might come from. From the stark but rich simplicity of Kerala’s white and gold geometric lines, to the intricate riots of fronds, flowers and birds that characterise the textiles of Gujarat and Madya Pradesh, the sari encapsulates a universe of meaning.
This collection has been inspired by the subtleties of colour combination, the juxtaposition of matte and high shine surfaces created by woven gold in the saris of Benares and Kerala, the balance of transparency and opacity in the Jamdani style and the particular graphic rendering of temples and birds from the saris of Odisha. Alice has deployed elements of the granulation technique, established in Greece but carried to India by Alexander the Great and reimagined in the Indian style.
