Small WONDERS

For the longest time, jewellery was just an accoutrement - an extra thing you threw on to complete your look. A growing list of home-grown jewellery designers - SREESHA SHETTY of the jewellery label Lune among them is now challenging that notion. You would not leave home without her simple yet statement pieces.

"I wore hoops as a teenager and frequented flea markets to find unique pieces," says Sreesha Shetty, founder of Lune, a contemporary Indian jewellery label that's had a somewhat radical effect on the way we're looking at everyday jewellery. Like everyone who grew up in the '90s, Sreesha, too, inadvertently experienced the effect of the era's obsession with hoop earrings, chunky arm cuffs, chokers, and stacked bangles. Today, she is designing these very constants in a pared-down, minimal fashion that comes more naturally not only to her South Asian but also her global customers.
