Aarna is the most celebratory piece in the collection — and the one that comes closest to the opulence of Indian bridal embroidery. On a hot pink ground, large open loops of gold zari cord are laid in sweeping paisley and floral forms across the surface, the thread coiling and circling in patterns that feel more like fine goldwork lace than conventional embroidery. Dense gold sequins are scattered throughout, catching the light with every movement and giving the whole piece an intensity that is difficult to capture in a photograph.
The close-up tells the fuller story — individual gold loops, each one placed by hand, building into forms that only resolve into paisley and floral shapes when you step back. Panels of dense red and orange fill stitching sit alongside the goldwork, adding colour and warmth to what would otherwise be an almost entirely gold surface. A gold tassel floral detail anchors one of the central panels, the thread fanning outward in a form that feels unmistakably like a celebration piece.
Handmade in the UK from reclaimed textiles, each Aarna Bauble takes significantly longer than most pieces in the range — the goldwork alone requires exceptional patience and precision. No two will ever be identical. At 10cm it's one of the largest and most detailed pieces in the collection, and the strongest choice for anyone who wants something that looks genuinely extraordinary.
