THE BIRDSONG

Reimagining the poetry of heritage with the poise of contemporary styling is a talent that Polki Stories has honed into an art form. The narrative of their collection, particularly the Lunabird Hasli, uses a modern lens to bridge the chasm between everyday jewellery and occasion wear. The sculptural beauty and aerial grace of the Lunabird Hasli make it a masterpiece of design, presenting a versatile style accouterment for those who prefer to make a statement without causing a flutter. Sculpted in gold, with a delicate bird motif at the centre, its slender curve traces the collarbone, while a blush-toned stone is at its heart. Subtle Polki accents offer a graceful nod to its artisanal soul, while a constellation of fine diamonds illuminates its wings, festooning the piece with an ethereal lightness.

MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM

Nocturnal transformation is a promise offered by many beauty brands. The Multi Benefit Night Cream from Inaara makes similar claims. However, it is intensely hydrating without being sticky; neither does it layer on thick, making it a great summer add on. The powerful combination of natural actives and advanced lab ingredients revitalises your skin while you catch up on your beauty sleep.

A gold-plated edition completes the collection and features a yellow gold-plated case, black dial, and a smooth black leather strap. Ride the wave.
