MUMBAI.- Esther Brinkmann (b) 1953, the Swiss born celebrated jewellery designer will showcase her new works in the exhibition Renewable Pleasures: The India Chapter, at Chemould Prescott Road, Mumbai, India, this July 28, 2014. The exhibition presenting unique handmade neckpieces, rings and brooches complimented in precious material, will run until August 23, 2014.
Professionally trained in Geneva, Esther’s latest solo exhibitions include, East West - DONG XI, Feigallery, Guangzhou, 2010 Clouds and other dreams of Jewels, GOELIA 225 Space, Guangzhou, 2009, Not for your body only, Feigallery, Guangzhou, 2008.

From 2005 to 2010 she lived in China and from 2010 to 2014 she has lived in India. These long “residencies” have occurred being the wife of a Swiss Diplomat. Both countries, China and India with strong cultural identities have in their own way fed new ideas into Brinkmann’s timeless yet contemporary forms.
In India, Brinkmann worked with a master craftsman who is an expert in traditional inlay work found in traditional Indian Jewellery. Kamal meenakar and Brinkmann exchanged ideas of colour, which she incorporated into her existing forms.
Renewable Pleasures: The India Chapter marks the end of her four years expedition in India at Chemould Prescott Road. Her upcoming participation will be at Multiple Exposures, Museum of Art and design, New York later this year.

Piaget has created the colourful Extremely Piaget collection specifically for the Biennale. The maison, which celebrates its 140th anniversary this year, has pulled out all the stops with a collection of watches and jewels that explodes with colour thanks to an array of different stones, including emeralds, sapphires, turquoise, lapis lazuli and yellow diamonds. Piaget's meticulous craftsmanship is evident in every piece, with plenty of surprising touches, including a tiny watch dial in either turquoise or lapis lazuli dangling nonchalantly from a sautoir necklace.
