A stylized bird shaped with sweeping curves, layered textures and dynamic color contrasts showcases Indian artist Sunil Jaiswal’s signature blend of bold abstraction and expressive form. Dominated by vibrant shades of crimson, burnt orange and earthy browns, the bird appears in mid-motion, its wings unfurled in a dramatic burst of layered feathers. The circular red accent behind the head evokes a radiant sun or an elaborate crest, enriching the composition with energy and warmth. The artist’s use of polka-dot detailing on the bird’s throat, paired with fine black contouring, adds rhythm and visual interest. The interplay of soft grey washes and bold, opaque strokes creates depth, while the bird’s curved silhouette brings an elegant, sculptural quality. Crafted with acrylics on paper, this composition is a vibrant celebration of movement, color and form.

A shattered face motif captures the eye in this stunning sterling silver cocktail ring of contemporary allure.

Designed by Bali's Gede Agus Mahardika, this avant-garde statement piece is perfect for those who dare to embrace the unconventional.

Maria Huerta finds inspiration in the architectural artistry of old Lima for the design of this ring. She crafts the sterling silver ring by hand, featuring curling vines resembling those on doorways of yore. Crystal quartz, the April birthstone, crowns the ring, revealing the magnificence of the openwork patterns beneath.
