“India’s love of jewellery, both gold and precious stones is well known and dates back to the times of Maharajas waging war on the backs of elephants. Perhaps less well-known is that our country Thailand Shares its love of ornamentation with India. It is with this view that we present our latest range of collectibles in Delhi after a gap of 4 years. We hold the Delhi clientele in high esteem as we enjoy age-old relationships with clients here, also the lifestyle one enjoys here can surpass or compete with the best around the globe,” shared Nicklas von Bueren.
Home to one of the world’s longest-surviving monarchies, Thailand is known for its exquisite craftsmanship and exceptional quality in all things. Jewellery and artifacts crafted in the Kingdom are no different and Lotus Arts de Vivre is a brand that is synonymous with this high quality and beauty.
Celebrating their 40 years in luxury 2022-2023, Lotus Arts de Vivre: www.lotusartsdevivre.com is the legacy of German born Rolf Von Bueren, who immigrated to Thailand in the 1960’s and has made the Asian nation his home.

‘In truth, there is nothing more luxurious than that which we cannot have, and it is an unimpeachable facet of human nature to covet that which seems out of reach’ says Founder, Rolf Von Bueren.
