Oviyam

O-vi-yum, Tamil.
(Noun) painting, portraiture.

Taking cues from the engulfing moonlight, the crimson red sarees with golden borders, the effervescent white jasmine flowers and the lush green trees, the collection draws upon the colours and moods that characterize the classic Ravi Varma palette – solitary, reflective, sultry and very self-indulgent. We bring to you a collection that is your act of self–indulgence.

Frequently Asked Questions

01

What does Oviyam mean?

Oviyam is the Tamil word for painting. The ornaments draw from the world of Raja Ravi Varma, a painter whose work has stayed with the Indian cultural sensibility for over a century. The nose studs begin somewhere in that feeling, in the colour, and the warmth that runs through his canvases.

02

What colours run through the Oviyam pieces?

Deep crimsons, softened ivories, a green that recalls silk caught mid-fold. The nose pins' colours come from Raja Ravi Varma's paintings, designed to be your act of self-indulgence.

03

Where do the Oviyam pieces sit between the traditional and the contemporary?

The women in Raja Ravi Varma's paintings don't feel distant, even now. The Oviyam nose pins sit in that same place, with a hint of the past and moments of the contemporary. 

04

What moments are the Oviyam pieces drawn toward?

Weddings, festivals, and evenings that ask for a little more presence. The nose studs seem to find their way there naturally; they settle more fully when the moment does.

05

What materials and stones have been used for the Oviyam pieces?

All nose studs have gold. Where stones appear, they are chosen for how their colour sits within the piece, rubies for depth, tones that feel at ease in this world. 

06

How do you care for an Oviyam nose pin?

Oviyam nose pieces carry softer stones that scratch easily. Avoid using any abrasive or hard materials for cleaning.
