November 05 - December 20, 2025
The Art of Adornment will be on view through December 20th at Ivar Jewelry’s NYC boutique, located 29 East 73rd Street, New York.
This Fall / Winter season, Kapoor Galleries and Ivar Jewelry are delighted to partner together to present The Art of Adornment—a collaborative exhibition that honors the shared heritage of craftsmanship across mediums, showcasing modern heritage jewelry alongside miniature paintings from India.
From Kapoor Galleries’ collection, the exhibition features exquisite Ragamala paintings—translated from Sanskrit as “garland of ragas”—which depict a range of musical melodies known as ragas. These works, along with depictions of Nayikas (heroine) and royal figures adorned in intricate jewelry and courtly finery, embody the grace and spirituality of Indian artistic traditions.
Complementing these paintings is Ivar’s refined jewelry collection designed by Ritika Ravi. These pieces are crafted to be cherished for generations and each jewel is brought to life in workshops across India, where master artisans employ traditional techniques passed down through the ages. Among these are Polki, the use of raw, uncut diamonds first introduced to India by the Mughal dynasty, which lend the jewelry a soft, regal luster; and enamel, a vibrant Mughal-era art form now reimagined in contemporary hues.
The Art of Adornment will be on view through December 20th at Ivar Jewelry’s NYC boutique, located 29 East 73rd Street, with a VIP Preview held on November 5th. Visitors are warmly invited to explore this celebration of antique art and modern heritage jewelry from India presented by Kapoor Galleries and Ivar Jewelry together.
