Gulzaar Mahal Necklace with Gulzaar Bahaar Earrings

Gulzaar in Urdu means a garden in full bloom, it’s a place where nature and royalty are one. This necklace is exactly that place. A burnished gilded chain of baguette zirconia barrel spacers, multi-coloured Navratna flower connectors and carved cabochon stations moves across the neckline like a royal procession through a walled garden, each unit a different bloom, each stone a different season. Pink tourmaline, carved jade, amber rutile, grey crystal and pearl sit alongside ruby, emerald and onyx in a palette that owes nothing to restraint. At the centre, three cascading teardrop pendants of amethyst, carved green stone and onyx hang from a gilded Mughal arch, the garden's innermost courtyard, where all colours finally meet.Bahaar means springtime in Urdu, and the Gulzaar Bahaar earrings carry that season in miniature. A multi-stone Navratna flower stud opens the composition, its petals set with ruby, emerald and zirconia in the same gilded framework as the necklace. Below it, a ribbed gilded oval cradles a pink tourmaline cabochon ringed in emerald accents, and from it hangs a pavé-framed onyx teardrop, dark and luminous as the last hour before spring turns to summer.
