An Ode to Infinite Feminine Energy
Zoya, the exquisite diamond boutique from the House of Tata, presents a marquee collection, Aeterna, that is an ode to infinite feminine energy. Revathi Kant, Head of Design for Titan takes us through this collection:
What is the inspiration behind the collection?
“Aeterna’sdesign story narrates the chronicle of the feminineenergythat resides in the soul of the Zoya woman.It’s a power inherent in us all. Connected with this energy we feel limitless, and able to do anything we want. So it’s a very special collection, inspired by the source code for women, a beacon for our soul journeys. We wanted every piece in Aeternato to be like a beautifully crafted, powerful talisman, a lovely reminder of this elemental power within.”
What is sacred geometry and how is it reflected in Aeterna?
“Aeternatracesinspirationfromancient symbols that are geometric in nature, and have often described as a blueprint of the universe.Supremely powerful symbols create deeply meaningful imagery for the Zoya woman in Aeterna. The design inspirations for the pieces come from Flower of Life pattern, symmetrically balanced intersecting circles featured in clean and edgy fractal patterns, the sacred symbol of the Vesica Pisces, presenting a metaphoric vessel for sacred power. Platonic solids shaped as pyramids, cubes, octahedrons, dodecahedrons, and icosahedrons are thoughtfully placed amidst the design and harken to the elemental feminine energy that lies in the seed of life as the source of all creation. They take the form of subtle detailing within the settings of stones, structure of bangles, lattices and metalwork. Sophisticated toggle necklaces, lariats, stackable rings feature complex detailing and intelligent construction.”
What is the visual language of the collection and how can it be styled?
“Thevisual language of this landmark collection juxtaposes a very feminine palette in amethyst, pink sapphire, morganites and rose gold with strong abstract design to deliver a collection that is lovely and stylish. Zoya’s Aeterna is designed for versatility smoothly transcends looks suited for both day and evening wear.”
