The designing duo’s motto has always been “Treasure beyond Measure” and “Key to Success is to Exceed Expectation” whenever they created their amazing jewellery. The collection was a hypnotising offering of beauty in classic gold with accents on colour, cut and diamonds that combined the fire of rubies, the brilliance of amethysts, the ethereal sea green of luxurious emeralds and the purity of pearls on a background of shimmering gold.

The designing pair offered jewellery that could move effortlessly from work to daywear and from evening to midnight glamour. Ideal as glamorous ornaments for western as well as Indian wear, the designers ensured that the pieces had unlimited global appeal.

Coloured stones fanned out for a pendant and white diamonds nestled in a bed of yellow/gold for chunky necklace. A circular medallion was imbedded in a trellis base to form the centre of a chain and a garland of precious stones for the neck was an enthralling item while emeralds with tassels centred a neck piece.

The exquisite offering had a marked influence of high class royalty as well as dramatic romantic touches. White and yellow gold played effortlessly with precious stones, gold balls, Vilandis and textures as current trends in jewellery designs worked gracefully with timeless inspirations.

Mikita Javeri, Dipti’s daughter made a pleasing appearance on the ramp with Amyra Dastur.

 Bollywood’s “Mast Mast” girl Raveena Tandon ended the show looking ravishing in emerald chains, a diamonds/rubies/gold choker, kada, chandbalis and statement rings.
