Alice Cicolini's India
A jewelry box in the fort of Mehrangarh in Jodhpur … This young woman, based in London and who was for five years the director of the British Council in India, wanted to create pieces like those that were once kept inside it. Alice Cicolini’s jewelry is made in Jaipur by a craftsman specializing in meenakari, the art of enamel, and recalls the domes of Muslim temples and the lotus buttons on Krishna’s crown. In ebony and gold, they also evoke a Benares sari.
