Eternal collection Bhima’s NRI Vintage Utsav is on till July 19
At Bhima Jewellers, antique jewellery and designer jewellery are the trendy catchphrases. This gold and diamond showroom in the city is showcasing a new range of antique and designer jewellery as part of their annual NRI Vintage Utsav.
“Antique jewellery, unique designer pieces, diamonds and platinum jewellery are very popular with our NRI customers, hence the festival,” explains Suhas, managing partner of the showroom.
Antique jewellery showcased at the two-week-long festival includes exquisitely crafted classic temple designs and kundan jewellery.
Designer collection
“Our designer collection not only includes unusual pieces from all over the country but also exclusive items from countries like Turkey, Italy, Taiwan and Singapore,” says Suhas. There are also a number of unique designer pieces from their in-house Mayura collection – contemporary designs inspired by the peacock.
The collection has over a 1,000 pieces, including necklaces, long chains, pendants, earrings, bangles and bracelets in a range of prices starting from Rs.10,000 upwards. Most of the designs incorporate Polki (uncut diamonds) and other uncut precious stones crafted in a variety of styles including Nakashi work from Rajasthan; intricate Minakari work (enamel); black polish work; modern Calcutta work; Jaipuri kundan work and tricolour work.
Those who do not fancy ‘the old is gold’ designs, can check out the diamond collection that features a variety of designs. Necklaces with varied sized diamonds come in different patterns.
Pendants, rings and drops come studded with these gems. A swan-shaped pendant studded with tiny diamonds lent the pendant elegance. Diamonds set in a diamond-shaped pendant in an ‘unseen’ setting will definitely have eyes turning. Rings come with a single or multiple stones. The earring shaped like a tiny handbag will surely be the talk of town.
The festival, which will go on till July 19, definitely strikes a balance between ancient styles and modernity.
