It's not a jewel of any great character or workmanship or pulchritude, but it is sweet, and you look lovely and feel happy with it on you. But there's something else to tell you here. Simple and diminutive as the jhumka is, it's also frabjous in its magic. Yes, working with ancient alchemy manuals, we came upon a spell that renders it invisible to all but those who love fine gold jewellery from Bengal for its art and craft virtues, whose refined taste looks beyond mere fashion to the true aesthetics of the jewel, and whose wisdom judges the worth of the ornament not reductively on its price only but mostly on its enduring value as an heirloom of extraordinary beauty and a repository of all that's good and joyous and memorable in life.

In short, the jewel will be visible to all you who are on this page for there's a reason you're here, and that has all to do with the fact that with your refinement, your grace, your wisdom and coruscating brilliance, you live life as art and invest and enrich each fine jewel you make or give or even see with your all or some part of your life story.

This ornament is nothing to write home about. It's just one that freely leant itself to the April Fool's Day post. Still, that does go to show it's a sporting little guinea-gold trinket and one amenable to easy and continual wear. And it reveals our oeuvre to extend to such light and sweet goyna, even if it isn't our mainstay. All said, it's a happy jewel which makes you happy. As it's destiny, that's majestic enough.
