Most peacock earrings put the bird on the earring. Roop makes the earring the bird.

The hoop itself curves in the peacock's silhouette — the arc that defines each piece is not a circle or a semicircle but the particular sweep of the peacock's form, 4.3 centimetres of silver that reads, once you have seen it, as unmistakably, inevitably that bird. The long graceful curve of its neck and body, the posture that Indian art has rendered in stone and metal and textile for millennia — here made into the shape of the earring itself, so the peacock is not decoration upon a surface but the surface's very reason for existing.

It is the kind of design decision that seems obvious in retrospect and is actually very difficult to arrive at: not to depict the symbol but to become it.

Contemporary in its restraint, traditional in its reference. The earring for someone who understands that the most considered things often look the simplest.
