High jewelry—pieces combining rare stones, breathtaking design, and extraordinary craftsmanship—have traditionally been reserved for formal occasions, but today designers are reinventing the category by creating collectibles that fit into daily life, not just galas. Bloom, the new 26-piece collection from the eponymous brand of Sanjay Kasliwal, the late Gem Palace creative director, does this by mixing traditional Indian motifs with a more contemporary, wearable sensibility. After Kasliwal’s death in 2019, his children, Shalini and Samir, came across sketches in his office and decided to realize them in his honor. This $17,500 Juhi ring, inspired by drops of rain on a leaf, showcases a vivid 4.24-carat emerald offset with diamonds on either side and at the bottom of the band.
