Jewellery brands Auros and Moi to host The Collectibles in Chennai

Just in time for the year’s festive season, Aurus and Moi, the sister jewellery houses founded by Puja and Kunal Shah, will host The Collectibles in the city this weekend. 

At the event, a limited-edition collection inspired by Gujarat’s beadwork traditions, ‘integrating glass beads with gold, silver, diamonds, and gemstones’, will be unveiled. This showcase follows the duo’s recently curated exhibit hosted in London where they presented ‘Kutch Collectibles’ alongside a panel discussion on the beadwork traditions of Kutch and Kathiawar in western India.

The highlight of the event is Aurus and Moi jewellery featuring memory pendants, earrings, necklaces, and brooches. “The curation includes signature designs from Aurus and Moi but what makes it special are the new collections. The Rosewood Muse range at Aurus brings our siganture designs using combination of different tukdis (charms) and Moi’s The Green Room collection is a curated capsule with an interesting take on the colour green in jewellery,” says Puja, adding that the showstopper is The Collectibles collection with limited-edition pieces such as necklaces, brooches, and more.

Puja adds, “The Shaheen pearl necklace, rais hasli necklace, and asra necklace are the top pieces we will be bringing from the Aurus range. For Moi, the Morgan ear studs, Melissa blue sapphire earrings, and Debora brooch and pendant necklace will be spotlighted.”

The event will also feature a panel discussion (on August 24) ‘What does one pass; what does one keep’ that will have luxury hotelier Abhimanyu Alsisar, historian Manu Pillai, and jewellery designer Puja Shah interpret what does actually become a collectible in today’s times, and the role of craft in shaping cultural identity. This will be hosted by Doyel Joshi and Neil Ghose Balser of Mumbai’s a multidisciplinary art space and studio, Howareyoufeeling.studio

The specially curated sessions on August 24, 25 will be followed by a public exhibition of The Collectibles on August 25 and 26. At The Folly, Amethyst, Whites Rd, Express Estate, Roypettah. For details, call +918866286000
