Wear your prayer collection by Pallavi Foley is on trend with its unique and spiritual design. The idea behind the collection is simple, that it gives hope to the wearer. The simplicity of the product makes the innovation so successful. The 22k pendants are the size of a garden black ant or the size of your nail, but have the full prayers written on them. These three-dimensional unique sculptures are a story of faith ad belief. In an exclusive interview with the J Mag, Pallavi Foley shares how she translated the idea in 19 different world prayers.

The Design Story

Pallavi Foley is a jewellery designer and an artist. Her work is radiant, feminine with a terrific flair yet intensely wearable. She has been bestowed with numerous Indian & International design awards. All her designs are enchanting and the meaning behind each piece she designs makes the designs inspiring, enthralling and revitalizing. Creativity is synonymous with Pallavi. Based out of Bangalore, Pallavi has been called a “game-changer” and is thought of as a pioneer of avant-garde jewellery in India. Pallavi’s work has been showcased at the India International Jewellery Week, the Milan Fashion Week, and the Lakme fashion week.

Pallavi graduated as an accessory designer from the National Institute of Fashion Technology, New Delhi, in 2000 and then worked for close to a decade with Tanishq, India’s largest jewellery company. She left to start Pallavi Foley Boutique Jewels. Having over 17 years of experience in the fine jewellery industry, Pallavi’s ability to think out of the box has led to several masterpieces.

‘Jewellery immortalizes our existence, as it gets passed down from one generation to the next. When I design, I choose to exaggerate the forms and gemstones, through hand-made jewellery making techniques, infusing it with fantasy, femininity and messages, that tell our story’.

Creation of a prayer pendants

Reminiscing her treasured days, Pallavi says, The last time that I truly met my grandfather was when I was in college. I was twenty years old then. He passed away when I was thirty five, and I didn’t get much of an opportunity to spend quality time with him in the interim period. In retrospect, I feel that there was so much that I could have learnt from him. Somehow the finiteness of life is apparent to us, only much later in our own lives and we start to value people much more when they are no longer with us.
