Ravi Chawla, a visionary with astute aesthetic sense created India’s first luxury lifestyle brand much ahead of its time in the year 1985. ‘Ravissant’ – a French word for ‘anything beautiful’, is a design led organisation, which houses an elegant collection from luxurious silver, gifts and knick-knacks, home accessories and high end apparel.
Ravi Chawla focused on his passion for art and found a potential in crafting unique products in precious metals. He launched India’s only luxury brand ‘Ravissant’ which soon gained worldwide recognition. Renowned in fashion capitals across the world for its couture designs and high quality exclusive fashion, home and silverware products, Ravissant became a leading design house and grew into a cult brand catering to the finest lifestyle-conscious audience. Its forte is its ability to blend the best traditional techniques into international and contemporary designs.
Ravi Chawla says, “Gifting is much more than the art of giving; it’s an emotion, especially when it comes to festive and wedding gifts. Though we consider a lot of good options, it’s important to remember what makes a gift truly special for the loved ones. Silver has had great value aesthetic appeal from past so many decades, the metal has always been considered as a gift for all auspicious occasions. Jewellery, figurines, decorative items, utensils were all made in silver and have been widely used in rituals, offerings, personalised gifts.
The coming months are all about celebrations where gifting your loved ones is always a task, but silver is till date the most appropriate gift to give someone. Silver gifting has gone to a new level where from ultra stylish sterling silver and silver coated gifts everything has its own charm. The vast variety that you get while gifting silver items is today astonishing, from modern candelabras to regal flower vases to silver plated Jewellery boxes or trays one can choose from an array of products. People love to gift wine glasses and tea sets and they actually are evergreen festive and wedding gift items.
Apart from this, why I also think that Silver is an appropriate wedding/festive gift is because of the scope of utility. We now have tailor-made designs, customisation of gifts, for example, one can opt for luxurious dining table sets and silver decor pieces to as simple as personalised photo frames, idols, cufflinks and Jewellery boxes. People have become more thoughtful now and they love to pass on a remembrance for life and what better way that gifting silver in so many ways to just strengthen the bond of love.
