p/p pandnbsp;/p pThe designer behind the striking wardrobe of the First Lady of the USA, strongMichelle Obama/strong, is in India to celebrate the launch of his exclusive jewellery collection with strongForevermark Diamonds/strong. A jewellery line called Artemis, it is a collection inspired by the mystical beauty of the stars and moon with brilliant-cut diamonds set in handcrafted yellow gold.andnbsp;/p pandnbsp;/p pThis is not the first time the New York-based designer has tied up with Forevermark, as a few celebrated pieces from the diamond brandandrsquo;s collection did make it to the ramp for strongBibhuandrsquo;s/strong Fall '16 collection showcased at the New York Fashion Week this year. The ramp association between Forevermark and Bibhu did hint at this big collaboration./p pandnbsp;/p pstrongThe making of Artemis/strong/p pandnbsp;/p pThe journey of this new collection started two years ago when Sachin Jain, President of Forevermark Diamonds, approached the designer to create a beautiful line for them. andldquo;The amazing team of Forevermark wanted me to design a line of jewellery with a broader appeal that creates a statement yet is more accessible and not overwhelming but minimalistic and elegant,andrdquo; says Bibhu Mohapatra.andnbsp;/p pHe further adds, andldquo;The collection I designed is not just unique but is something that can be valued and has longitivtiy in terms of its usage as my designs, which I have been curating and penning down even for my fashion brand for the last six years, are all about quality, integrity and lasts beyond just a season.andrdquo;andnbsp;/p pandnbsp;/p pWhile Bibhuandrsquo;s signature fashion line is crafted for the uber-luxurious women with silhouettes defining architectural structures-accentuating a womanandrsquo;s body and sharp cuts on unique fabrics-the jewellery collection, Artemis, is more like a rhetorical narration of his designing skills albeit on metal and diamonds.andnbsp;/p pandnbsp;/p pandldquo;Considering Forevermark Diamonds are known for their unique styling, artisanal craftsmanship, responsibly sourced and rare diamonds, I wanted to embark on these features and design a collection inspired by my traditions and heritage, carved and modified on contemporary and modern age jewellery styles. Aligning stars, sun and moon from our fables and scriptures in a romantic and passionate line up defines the beauty of this elegant collection.andrdquo;andnbsp;/p pandnbsp;/p pstrongWhy Artemis?/strong/p pandnbsp;/p pandldquo;Curiosity is the key to a lot of things, and if we can instill that into a collection to prompt people to be inquisitive and create mystery around it, it perfectly befits this collectionandrsquo;s exclusive design. Hence we zeroed in on Artemis once I shared by designs as it channels the exquisiteness of Forevermark,andrdquo; says Bibhu./p pandnbsp;/p pstrongBibhuandrsquo;s bond with jewellery/strong/p pstrongbr //strong/p pandnbsp;/p p style="text-align: center;"/p pandnbsp;/p pandnbsp;/p pWhile the collection revolves around the concept of modern day accessories with a medley of earrings, rings, bracelets, pendants and brooches, Bibhu personally loves the nose pin which is not part of this collection, but he hopes to add it soon. andldquo;The nose pins take me be back to my traditions and is something that brings out the best in a woman. It has a magical persona which accentuates the beauty of a woman and is something that is versatile and needs no occasion to be donned. In fact, I always did ask my mother why she removed her nose pins as I grew up watching her wear them and it is something I admire a lot as it changes the look adding more grace and magnificence to oneandrsquo;s look.andrdquo;/p pandnbsp;/p pstrongCelebrity favourites.../strong/p pandnbsp;/p pWhile he shared the images of the jewellery pieces he designed with his muse Michelle Obama to get her perspective on the collection, the designer does see the celebrated fashionista and actress Kangana Ranaut and his most admired Bollywood favourite Rekha sporting this collection. andldquo;The Artemis line is quite unique and versatile, making it the perfect accessory to sport on western wear; for instance, Kangana could match it with her dresses and Rekha, who channels the regal elegance, with traditional kanjivaram sarees.andrdquo;/p pandnbsp;/p pWhile we really canandrsquo;t wait to see this collection on the First Lady, Mrs Obama, the line, unveiled at a special fashion show at the Four Seasons, will soon be made available at leading Forevermark retailers across the country.andnbsp;/p pandnbsp;/p pstrongMore On andgt;andgt; a href="http://www.luxpresso.com/jewellery" target="_blank"Jewellery/a/strong/p
