A singular commission · Scotland · September 2026
Suriya & Jyotika
Multi-award-winning actors with a global following, celebrated for their films and loved for their philanthropic and social work.
Twenty years, expressed in two personal jewels.
The occasion
Commissioned to commemorate the twentieth wedding anniversary celebrations of Mr. Suriya & Mrs. Jyotika in Scotland, these two bespoke brooches were conceived as lasting expressions of a shared life—personal jewels shaped around an exceptional occasion.
The commission explored the relationship between two distinct personalities and one shared story. Through considered design, meaningful gemstones and precise craftsmanship, each brooch found its own expression while remaining connected to its companion.
Beyond a single post
The anniversary inspired sharing, conversation and new interpretations across social media. A further anniversary film shown in the supplied material recorded 9 million views—a second glimpse of the attention surrounding the celebration.
Reposts and fan-created versions extend that conversation.

A slender silhouette gives the monogram room to speak. All-natural birthstones of personal significance meet 18K white gold and natural diamonds of the highest quality, creating a deeply personal expression in a refined form.

Inside the creative process
The process began with listening: understanding the people, the occasion and the feeling the jewels should carry. Research then gave those conversations a wider creative context, helping Elmira find a direction that felt personal and considered.
Before the final silhouette came the narrative. Ideas were connected, questioned and distilled into a story for the pair—one that could embrace individuality while expressing a shared bond.
Hand sketching allowed the ideas to remain fluid. Through many iterations, Elmira explored rhythm, proportion and the relationship between the monograms and gemstones. Each revision brought the emotion closer to a wearable form.
A beautiful line must also hold a stone, support a setting and sit comfortably on the body. Technical limitations became part of the design conversation: balancing visual lightness with structure, gemstone protection and the practical demands of making.
Precision design and 3D CAD translated the creative intent into controlled dimensions and construction. The emotional language of the sketches met the exacting requirements of manufacturing technology—refining the design without losing its character.
Design and manufacturing remained connected through the final stages of making, setting and finishing. The result brings the freedom of creative expression together with the discipline that allows a personal jewel to be worn and treasured.
