If you thought Queen's Necklace was the only jewel Mumbai dazzled with, you certainly missed the ceremonious coronation when the city was crowned with the first ever India International Jewellery Week (IIJW).
Held recently at the Grand Hyatt, IIJW's majestic platform sparkled with India's noteworthy jewellery designers and established jewellery houses, one of them being the Gitanjali Group.
Exemplifying magnificence and distinction, Gitanjali Luxury brought together three luxurious brands namely, Queenie for Giantti, Nakshatra and Mirari on Day 1.
Designed by the stunning jewellery designer, Queenie Singh, Queenie for Giantti collection was a passionate embodiment of the spirit of an independent woman.

Nakshatra, one of the most revered brands from Gitanjali, was the third name to complete the trio of Gitanjali Luxury.
Katrina Kaif, brand ambassador for Nakshatra, shimmered in enchanting designs as she sashayed down the ramp as a demigoddess.
The special attraction of the day, however, was the launch of a new bangle collection from Nakshatra called Divine Circles.
Gitanjali Timeless, the second show on day 1 of IIJW, featured new collections from seasoned brands of Gitanjali which included the classic Gili, the very popular D'damas, Asmi and Sangini.
So where Day 1 was dedicated to the most popular brands, Day 2 highlighted new launches. Gitanjali Debut Show featured the Nizam collection, Parineeta and Menz.
And like the names suggests, the Nizam collection was reminiscent of royalty with models showing off gold base with silver jewellery set with uncut diamonds and coloured stones.
Parineeta, a high-end wedding and bridal jewellery collection, had models sashaying the ramp in necklaces, earrings, rings and maang tikas.
The Gitanjali Debut Show put together a grand finale with Menz.
A diamond studded 18k gold jewellery collection dedicated to men, Menz makes for a perfect embellishment to complement the modern man's style and persona.
