There is something about those glittering gold pieces of white gold, rings and yellow gold and shimmering sapphire, and gemstones that fascinate every woman and we will not be wrong if we say – WOMEN JUST LOVE JEWELRY! Females are romantic creatures and adore telling the story of how beautifully their husband/boyfriend surprised them with gorgeous sapphire, white gold, rings, yellow gold or gemstones and often connects it with love. The lushest way to tell a lady that you love her is by giving her a piece of ring or a white gold jewellery, a yellow gold, sapphire or gemstone from her wish list. It’s not that they don’t appreciate small things. They definitely do! Now, when it comes to jewellery, one name is but bound to hit our mind. Yes! We are talking about the famous French designer Igal Dahan who sits in conversation with LA POLO to reveal some interesting things.
What roe does jewellery play in highlighting the beauty of women?
Jewellery is given as a gift with important significance that often creates a statement about the woman who wears it. Its beauty is an outer reflection of the beauty inside a woman. Each piece of jewellery, either white gold, yellow gold, sapphire or gemstone has a special meaning that often celebrates an aspect of love and beauty. These two elements combined is what makes a piece highlight a women’s beauty.
Jewels define a female. What is the perfect choice of ornament for – a teenage girl, a newly-married, a mother of two, the old as-gold queen?
The perfect piece of IGAL DAHAN jewellery for a teenage girl would be the Iris pendant necklace. The combination of turquoise enamel mixed with white gold is fun and fresh. For a newly-married woman, The Hedone solid white gold earrings are a beautiful compliment to an engagement ring and wedding band set. The Nyx necklace would be a beautiful piece for a mother of two to wear on a date night with her husband. The Aphrodite with diamonds ring is fit for a timeless queen.
The jewellery line has three collections -The Winder of Love, Eros and Saturnalia. What do they depict?
Named after the ancient Greek god of love, The Eros Collection is the newest iteration of our popular Cuffs of Love series, consisting of beautiful sets of necklaces, bracelets, and rings in white or yellow gold that sparkle with simple elegance. The Saturnalia collection of blue and pink sapphire rings (named after Saturn’s many moons) are a tribute to the strength of love and a toast to the beauty of ever-blossoming relationships. Considered by many cultures to inspire wisdom, serenity, and romance, the sapphire is a powerful gemstone frequently connected with Saturn, a planet named after the ancient Greek deity of growth and prosperity. The Winder of Love Collection is a luxurious play on form and materiality, named after the Greek god of time. With elegant screws and gears adorned by precious metals and gems, each style of the collection is named after one of The Twelve Horai, daughters of Khronos and goddesses of the hours of the day, who guide the path of the sun as it journeys across the sky
Every jewellery piece by Igal Dahan is mesmerizing. But, the love for 'Cuff of Love' bracelet and 'Pain of Love' pendant is evergreen. What's the inspiring story behind it?
I wanted to design a piece of jewellery that connects men, women, and children. Every piece in the IGAL DAHAN collection has a connection with love. The collection is made for those who want to embrace and express the connection of the love they cherish with friends, family, and within relationships.
