The devastating second wave of the pandemic had far-reaching effects across various sections and strata of the society.During these times, it was the women who led from the front and became the fulcrum around which families and communities held together.Right from world leaders and front-line workers to home makers and salaried professionals, women from various walks of life became the primary torchbearers of strength, compassion and resilience. Displaying commendable values like empathy, kindness and perseverance, women rose to the occasion with grace & grit. They chose to find strength and be a rock for those around them.These incredible women find the perfect match in a metal born of the stars - platinum. Billions of years ago, a meteorite crash left behind remnants of this precious white metal, and it has since been a symbol of what is truly precious.Platinum as a metal is denser than any other found in jewellery, making it a true symbol of strength. It is resilient, unchanging and stands the test of time, never losing its form or natural white through the passage of time mirroring the un-daunting spirit of these exemplary women.

Platinum Evara pays homage to them with a collection of finely crafted pieces.Each piece in Platinum Evara's in the collection exudes a narrative of strength, compassion and empathy.

She brings a ray of positivity and hope to a world otherwise in despair. She's that breath of fresh air that rises with grace.Held together by a platinum band, the two contrasting triangles portray yin and yang - reflecting the way she holds herself together through the good times and bad.
