The first-ever India International Jewellery Week  (IIJW), organized by the Gem and Jewellery Export Promotion council  (GJEPC), is just getting better and better each passing day. Day 3  witnessed a good number of celebrity walk ins. Bollywood actress Neena  gupta graced the occasion with her daughter Masaba for the very first  show of the day by Delhi-based upcoming designer Rosily Paul. A nature  admirer, Rosily Paul takes her inspirations from nature and most of her  designs showcased at the IIJW were technically sound and comfortable to  wear. A winner of 16 awards, Rosily Paul showcased three award winning  pieces at the show. Speaking about this collection, she said: "I see to  it that all my creations look nice and beautiful and here I have tried  to create a design collection by which I can reach out to the national  as well as international clients".

If Rosily Paul's designs were inspired by the nature, designer Rhea  Nasta's collection took us back to the times of Kamasutra wherein  Vilandi jewellery with uncut diamonds bedazzled the audiences. Rhea  displayed three collections at the show – Vilandi, fusion and a totally  new collection called "Sparkless" which will now be available across all  Popley stores starting from Grand Hyatt. For this new collection, Rhea  created a Cinderella shoe with 1200+ diamonds set in white gold and a  bit of yellow gold. This beautiful piece of art took her six months to  create and she plans to auction this shoe "at the right time".

Indore-based Intergem Exports launched their new collection called  'Slices' at the show focusing on the raw beauty of diamonds. Thin slices  of hand cut diamonds have been created to produce these 18k gold bezel  collection and their Rainbow collection consisted of beautiful jewelery  pieces studded with shaded diamonds which shimmered and glittered on the  ramp. Speaking about this, designer Yogendra Sethi said: "I have  created jewellery with extremely rare colour of diamonds in all forms  and varieties available on earth. With my artistic vision, I have been  creating contemporary jewellery with icy, opaque, brilliant, beads and  brugette diamonds and my collection is one of its kind".

Exporting since 1979 to the UK, US, Middle East and South Africa,  Kanpur-based Kashi Jewellers displayed some of the most breathtaking  jewellery in diamonds, polky and kundan. Their collection reflected  traditional as well as modern designs and each jewellery piece had its  own charm and appeal.

Bhirdhichand Ghanshyamdas from Jaipur launched their new collection  called "Adrishya" at the show. This collection, inspired by the beauty  of nature, had an equally beautiful collection of Kundan earrings,  neckpieces and bracelets and their collection, Hunar, consisted of some  rare Kundan Meena designs.

Bangalore-based Ganjam Nagappa as usual created magical spells on the  audiences who were simply taken over by the beautifully made intricate  designs. Their collection had all the panache and traditional beauty.  Commenting on the occasion, Mr. Umesh Ganjam, joint managing director,  Ganjam, said: "It is a rare honour for us to be a part of IIJW, a  platform that admires jewellery and considers it as a piece of art  rather than a mere accessory. The IIJW has given Ganjam an opportunity  to interact with jewellery connoisseurs as well as showcase the best of  Indian talent to be an international audience".
