From doctor to
designer was quite a diversion, but Preeti Jain’s collection called “Jewels by
Preeti” was one of the most scintillating offerings at the India International
Jewellery Week 2012.
Preeti’s collection
at the show told a story all its own, as each piece came down the ramp.
Bringing together a perfect amalgamation of the best gems in the world like
rubies, sapphires, emeralds and diamonds, both cut and uncut; the collection
was a great blend of traditional and contemporary designs.
Aimed at the
intelligent woman of the 21st century, the jewellery was layered to
perfection with finish and style. Working with varied settings, Preeti allowed
the glitter of gems to be in the fore ground. Adding on practical light weight
jewellery for the working women, Preeti had fine pieces in Polki or uncut
diamonds in 22 and 18 carat with regal Meenakari work.
Entwined ropes of
diamonds were teamed with linear earrings. A draped clutch of diamonds, a
collar sprinkled with rubies and florets with emerald centres for pendant,
revealed Preeti’s creative streak. The flat broad bow was an interesting eye catcher
for the diamond necklace, while the plunging, glittering necklace with rubies,
white and yellow diamonds caressed the neck of the model.
Some more stunning
pieces included sapphires that added character to the shell shaped motifs of an
impressive necklace. The pink tourmalines smocked with touches of gleaming
white diamonds, the Meenakari Polki tiered earrings and necklace were a perfect
blend of the past and present. Rubelites and rubies edged chandeliers and
necklaces but the high collars with V shaped prongs ended in large ruby drops.
Chokers circled around the slender model’s necks in a profusion of Polkis as South
Sea pearls edged the ornament.
The elegant sexy
gowns, in a variety of colours and styles designed by Sapna Sharma and Divya; added
to the beauty of the gorgeous jewellery.
The very dashing,
dimpled, darling of Bollywood, Ayushman Khurana star of the super hit film “Vicky
Donor” was a favourite showstopper as he strutted down the catwalk in a stylish
black sherwani and white Pathani salwars. The dazzling Maharaja double brooch
with pearl chains was the regal ornament for this lively star.
“Jewels by Preeti”
was a stunning collection of exquisite ornaments to suit all occasions and
tastes.
