Upon the advice of my wonderful driver, Dilip, I went to Qut'b Minar. A tall brick minaret and part of an Islamic complex built in the 12th century by the second Dehli Sultan, Iltutmish. I traced up and down the loopings of the marble carving, realising the gold in my ring once scaled down, would only be the thickness of my pencil lines. So, I created a liner that fitted on the finger like a glove and gave depth to the design. Each ring has to be made individually each time to fit the wearer.

I created the cuff to be bold and strong, piercing out the intricate pattern in silver and gold out of thick sheet, turning it to fold round the wrist.
