'Eye of Chintz' Mihrab Necklace

 Regal exclusivity with a rebellious streak where Versailles meets Mughlai. 

Deriving from the floral decorations exhibited by opulent Mughal art, this pendant’s textile-inspired style encapsulates a world-wide 17th century fashion phenomenon in a single timeless locket. True chintz was highly popular during the late 1600s, when European trading of the fabric was banned due to the inability to replicate designs within Europe. With these rich representations of natural beauty restricted, the pattern grew a secret dynasty held by the storied and lawless Court of Versailles, where it was still worn by fashionable young courtiers. This Chintz Dynasty lives on in its regal exclusivity with a rebellious streak

These reversible pendants are modern heirlooms made with traditional artistry, drawing inspiration from ancient islamic motifs, but displaying contemporary elegance and style.

Although each Roya pendant is unique, they all share the same symbolism. The traditional flower-motifs in enamel, based on the ancient indo-islamic symbols representing the fullness of life, celebrate the abundance of the natural world, and the vast potential waiting to be awakened within you.
