The unique portrayal of Indian techniques in modern and western styles results in Ivar’s exclusive and inimitable jewels.
POLKI
Polki speaks of a gentle, soft sparkle, playfully catching light and showing off its luster. It was first introduced in India by the Mughal dynasty, linking it to a regal and rich Indian heritage. Polki in its purest form is raw, uncut diamonds, having no enhancement or chemical treatment. Gold is shaped into whatever design the jeweler desires, after which the Polki is set into this base. Distinctive due to its uniqueness and purity of natural form, Polki reminisces of old-world charm, evoking an artistic sentiment.
ENAMEL
Brought to India by the Mughals, enamel jewelry sets the stage for colorful design with a contemporary, edgy feel. The colors are metal oxides mixed with a tint of finely powdered glass. Used as adornment and for decorative purposes, these enamels come in varied hues. This craft of India is tradition bound and is being used with a contemporary twist.
