It was all glitz and glamor on the ramps but these are the collections that stood out for me at the India International Jewellery Week 2015, held in Mumbai ..
Ethnica -Fusion of Jaipur Jadau and Polki
The collection boasts traditional styles and bold craftsmanship. This work is a heritage old art using enamel & polki’s & belongs to Jaipur since centuries. Polki referred here is a natural uncut flat Diamond which gives a unique look & feel. The ensembles for the show were designed by Mumbai designer OHM by Neena & Astha.
Aara by Avantika and Djruv Singh
Considered to last for generation, the collection consisted of glitsy crowns with earrings attached, kamarbandh with studded pendants and long pearl beaded earrings.
Yoube Jewellery
A fusion of victorian grandeur with traditional Indian elements, these are some statement pieces that exude victorian charm and daintiness with detailed vintage Indian styles.
Zohraskshi
Moni Agarwal’s royal collection Zohrakshi is said to be inspired by stunning flowers of the world, drawing from age-old traditions of floral-jewelry, yet marrying that ethos with edgy contemporary designs. Moni’s line is all about today’s woman, elegant yet restrained; classic yet forward; empowered yet subtle.
Arabian Night by AAKS Jewellers
The theme speaks for itself !
