Day  4 of the India International Jewellery Week (IIJW), produced and  marketed by Tonic, a Lintas company, won over the audiences with its  traditional and artistic jewellery and as it was rightly said during the  show, though they were from a bygone era, they were meant for the  royals of today. The day's first collection by Delhi-based Kripalani and  Sons had a good line up of striking kundan with enamel jewellery which  were designed by Kripalani brothers Nirmal and Naresh. The jewellery,  encrusted with diamonds and pearls, had all the passion to mesmerize the  audiences and the clothes designed by Kanwaljit Singh and his team,  exuded all the charm a wedding collection should and went well with the  jewellery adorned by the models walking the ramp.

Once again designer Laksh Pahuja was able to keep the spectators  captivated with his unique jewellery inspired by Nature and all its  elements. Made of gold and silver and embellished with diamonds and  swaroshki crystals, the jewellery also had sapphires and emeralds and  had a glance of Mahatma Gandhi in them. Kolkata's Surana Gems and  Jewellery portrayed the skilled craftsmanship of the artisans of Bengal  and each piece from their bridal collection, had a traditional charm and  exuberance to it.

Known for their exquisite wedding jewellery, Manubhai Zaveri  Ornaments enthralled the audiences with their breathtaking antique and  kundan pieces and are sure to add many more retailers in their list of  more than 100 in India and abroad. These heritage and rarest of antique  jewellery, had a modern touch to them and were meticulously handcrafted  by skilled craftsmen selected from across India. Kolkata's Sawansukha  Jewellers too mesmerized the viewers with their traditional jewellery  pieces which had intricate designs and a story behind it all.

Famed design house Amrapali Jewels though had a traditional touch to  their jewellery, had all the elements of being contemporary and the  designs had everyone  gasping for more. Tanishq too displayed some of  the most exquisite pieces from their hi-end Zoya collection and  enthralled the audiences who seemed to be enjoying watching the  exquisitive pieces displayed by beautiful models.

The last show for the evening by designer Bina Goenka was surely one  of the best. Her collection, "Tribute to Gaia" launched during the show,  was inspired by the symphony of nature. The collection consisting of  breathtaking necklaces, earrings, rings and bracelets were encrusted  with rubies, emeralds, tanzanites, sapphires and  diamonds.
