            Amin Gulgee’s new jewellery collection, ‘solah singhar,’  takes woman’s eternal obsession with the mirror one step further – from looking into it to wearing it.

            “For me solah singhar represents the mysterious power of women,” says Amin.  “Although the concept of singhar is for the pleasure of men, its application and interpretation lies in the hands of women.”  Amin uses the mirror not as a symbol of vanity but of self-awareness.  The mood is feminine, regal chunky but yet delicate.  It is a collection very obviously inspired by the Sindhi tradition in costumes and textiles.  Amin reinterprets the sparkle of mirrors against the barren desert landscape and moves it into a sophisticated urban ambience.  Viewing the mirror as a potent symbol of a woman reflecting herself, Amin’s design ethos behind this collection is the mystic power of beauty.
