Grand Jury meet-Retail Jeweller India Awards 2016

Indian Bloggers
Indian fascination with Jewelry starts quite early in life as we are called Sona , Sonu ( Gold ) and we grow up watching Weddings, Gods, Goddesses, TV serials dazzling with still more Gold, Diamonds, Emeralds, Rubies, Sapphires, Jades, Corals etc. Even our legendary popular epics Ramayana and Mahabharata weaves glorious stories about jewelry of Sita, Kaikeyi, Urvashi, Pururava, Satyavati, Kunti, Droupadi, Karna, Ashwathama, Krishna, and even the villain Ravana in glitzy details. Koh-i-Noor is the ultimate jewellery fantasy of every Indian. It's no wonder then that Indian Jeweller Retail Industry is worth $ 30 Billion and growing astronomically.


On this ritzy background when I was invited for the Retail Jeweller India Awards Grand Jury Meet 2016  to preview the latest masterworks of the Indian jewellery industry.  I was excited to be the Blogger-guest of Retail Jeweller India group, publishers of India’s favorite business magazine, an Elite Circle of Excellence also famous as the Oscars of Jewellery industry. The GRAND JURY MEET, a distinctive event showcased India’s top 250 unique and innovative jewellery creations nominated from the most reputed jewellery houses across the country at Jade Ballroom, Sahara Star, Mumbai




 The Jade Ballroom of Sahara Star hotel was fully studded with galaxy of Bollywood stars on 26th July for #RJIA2016 . Paparazzi were having a field day with glamorous juries such as Esha Deol, Sanah Kapur, Divya Kumar Khosla, Sanjana Patel, Rouble Nagi , Ananya Banerjee , Shaziya Khan , Pearl Contractor Chef , Nawaz Mody Singhania , Nishka Lulla etc. and they went berserk when brand new mamma Arpita Khan Sharma arrived  in an embellished  Navy blue silk gown.   




The couture and bespoke designer jewellery-objects d'art to be judged by the eminent jury members were mesmerizing enough to allure them to try on themselves. The classic beauty of exclusive Jewellery-pieces were competing with the elegance of glamorous juries for mind blowing fusion. Naturally the flashes of cameras were adding more chutzpah to the 12th Gemfields Retail Jeweller India Awards 2016 in association with Platinum Evara and GSI ( Gemological Science International )

                                               

It was a privilege to interact with Soma Bhatta Editor, Retail Jeweller “This award is the only event that sets the benchmark in the industry with respect to designs, innovation and trendsetting. Over the past years we have seen an incredible change in the caliber of jewellery with a spurt of innovative and cutting edge designs. The Retail Jeweller India Awards, #RJIA2016 not only appreciate design and creation but also celebrate them.” emphasized Soma Bhatta, Editor, Retail Jeweller India
