House of Waris  “I am strongly influenced by the romance and history of Italy and India,” says designer Waris Ahluwalia, who has ateliers in both countries. “I was in Rome doing a Wes Anderson film and fell in love with the  history that permeates everything.” The actor-turned-jeweler—whose  baubles are coveted by Cate Blanchett (at left), Lauren Hutton and Chloe Sevigny—marries ancient techniques from Italian and Indian cultures to hatch marvelously modern designs.Learn more about the jeweler at houseofwaris.com.
