The Geometry of Perpetual Beginning is a reflective essay by jewelry designer and artist, Reena Ahluwalia on our creative center and how every beginning is a perpetual faceting—a tilting of the diamond to capture new light and recalibrate for brilliance.

We work with materials billions of years old. That alone gives us the ultimate perspective.

Can the past year’s saturation be the raw material for our next inquiry? Do we need a recalibration of our Geometry of Brilliance?

I explore this concept in my latest essay, "The Geometry of Perpetual Beginning." Read here: https://www.reenaahluwalia.com/blog/2026/2/20/the-geometry-of-perpetual-beginning

Fred Mouawad and I in Bangkok. We find ourselves exploring the concepts of rarity, art, high jewelry, the impact of AI and future-tech in luxury, human-centricity and storytelling.

There is a natural flow-state in our chats that I value so much.

Fred is a mind-expander and a valued friend. I believe we all need peers who can push our minds - not just in business, but in life. Isn't that a wonderful thing!

The Indian diamond and jewelry industry stands at a cultural inflection point. It has the history, scale, and skill.

Absence makes presence intentional. That’s the power of Negative Space. In design, it’s the space around the form that gives it meaning.

What is Negative Space?
It’s the area around, between, or within the main elements of a composition. More than emptiness, it’s an active design tool that guides perception and carries emotional weight.

How I Use Negative Space, Intentionally.
As you can tell, I have a soft spot for negative space. Here's my ‘Ethereal Rhapsody’ necklace set with Tahitian pearls and diamonds. My design was inspired by the Pleiades star cluster also known as Seven Sisters in Greek mythology. I used light, shadow, and colour interplay to highlight rhythmic, interconnected forms, contrasted by the space around and within. Designing it was a constant negotiation of form, movement, and space. I designed it so the negative space reveals itself from different angles. It leaves space for interpretation, inviting the wearer to project their own meaning.

Now consider, what would this piece be without it?
