Divya N’s ongoing exhibition, Jewellery in Narratives, features wearable pieces inspired by the tholu bommalata art form
“There is a potent connection between narratives and jewellery in India, where jewellery propels the story forward. For example, in Shakuntala, by Kalidasa, the signet ring plays a crucial role in the story, and in Silapathikaaram, by Ilango Adigal, an ankle bracelet is the most important metaphor,” says Divya N, Chennai-based founder of Sayuri, a brand of mixed media jewellery.
Her online exhibition, Jewellery in Narratives, brings together folk art and epics.
