Holistic Story
«I wanted to create symbolic jewellery for the soul by following the principles of Vastu Shastra. This Hindu belief is designed to create a symbiosis of nature, environment, architecture, and conscience.»
Dorothée Sausset
The Thali pendant or Mangala sutra is a symbol of love, protection, fertility and harmony. Designed under the laws of the Vastu Shastra, antique Indian science, this pendant is traditionally given by a man to his wife on their wedding engagement. It creates balance to unify the energy of the body with the soul. The medallion Thali incarnates this philosophy.
Dorothée Sausset reinvents the mudra as a piece of jewellery. A « mudra » is a symbolic posture of the fingers that seeks to harmonise physical and emotional states. It is often used in yoga and meditation. This magical form of sign language brings well-being. In our collection, each mudra is accompanied by a meditation.
The human being is a perfect model of the universe, all that exists in the universe is composed of 5 elements and their properties are essential to understand the harmony or imbalance of the human body. Each stone corresponds to one of the 5 elements: earth, water, wind, fire, and space. Yoga and Ayurveda come from the same Indian tradition.
Rakhi meaning «knot of protection» is one of the most important festivals celebrated by Hindus throughout the world. The festival stands for the beautiful relationship shared between brothers and sisters. The bracelet given during this festival represents a lifelong promise of protection, love, care and affection between siblings. The red colour thread is used to strengthen the fire element bringing strength, security, power and protection.
Mandala, “circle” in Hindu and Buddhist Tantrism, is a symbolic diagram used in the performance of sacred rites and as an instrument of meditation. The mandala is a representation of the universe, a consecrated area that serves as a receptacle for the gods and as a collection point of universal forces.
The Taj Mahal, is often described as one of the wonders of the world, the stunning 17th Century white marble Taj Mahal was built by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan as a mausoleum for his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal, who died while giving birth to her child. This medal represents one of the many drawings found on the walls of the Taj Mahal. The traditional hammering technique – used on antique lassi glasses – was used for this piece of jewlery.
