The\u00a0\u00a0Vadlo\u00a0collection gets a\u00a0stylish makeover\u00a0by Jhaveri, underscoring the importance of cultural continuity while staying relevant to today.\u00a0Traditionally, this\u00a0ethnic jewellery piece is\u00a0worn by women\u00a0from various communities in Kutch, including the Rabari, Vaishnavite Hindu, Meghwal, Bhil,\u00a0among others.\u00a0The rigid\u00a0Vadlo, crafted in high-quality silver with twisted wirework, sits like a large ring around the neck and is symbolic of status and identity.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Jhaveri\u00a0further\u00a0explains, \u201cThe study draws upon vernacular jewellery traditions of nomadic and pastoral communities in India. For them, their jewellery is portable wealth \u2014often the most valuable material possessions they own\u2014and their communal as well as personal identities are closely tied to what they wear.\u202f\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt is this deep relationship with jewellery that we have\u00a0sought\u00a0to emulate through this work.\u00a0Vadlo\u00a0stands as a reminder of our lesser-known heritage and of the powerful role jewellery plays in shaping cultural identity.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
