An insignia of modern classics
‘Numisma’ is a Latin word that indicates the practice of collecting coins, setting a monetary system… Nostalgically, the designer duo’s inspiration for this collection goes back to a comforting childhood memory of how their mothers used to make their jewelry with gold coins as pendants or necklaces. Historically, in India, there has always been a strong inclination toward collecting coins. And this romantic fascination was the starting point for Shivan & Narresh’s jewelry line for Aulerth.
‘Numisma’ is a captivatingly versatile jewelry collection. While the pieces are very contemporary, the roots are intrinsically Indian in their inspiration. Every piece will seamlessly blend with western staples for a cocktail night or a fun destination wedding celebration. The collection is bold, and contemporary and will instantly make heads turn.
Speaking about conceptualizing this bold and decadent jewelry line for Aulerth, Shivan Bhatiya and Narresh Kukreja said, “The idea originates back to the Colonial era when the British came to India; they went to the Deccan Plateau to purchase spices and commodities from local villages and paid back in gold coins as a form of currency. When they returned to these markets afterward, they saw that these coins were being turned into jewelry as Indians were extremely wealthy and did not see the need to store coins. For us, this crossover of western design with an adaptation of eastern philosophy to wear jewelry is how we see this collection. And, our partnership with Aulerth allowed us to think freely, and that became the biggest reason for a smooth transition and translation of our designs into beautiful jewelry for the ‘Numisma’ line.”
On the launch of this collection,Vivek Ramabhadran, Founder & CEO of Aulerth said, “We are thrilled to announce Aulerth’s latest partnership with Shivan & Narresh. Our first collection with them titled ‘Numisma’ is bold, chic, vibrant, and statement in classic Shivan and Narresh’s signature style while being meticulous in its engineering and craftsmanship, which is Aulerth’s hallmark. The collection has received an extremely positive response already in its pre-launch phase.”
