Sure they are Bollywood celebrities, but some of India’s finest jewelers and designers were behind their dazzling appearance on ramp at the recently concluded India International Jewellery Week in Mumbai. Gitanjali Gems, Farah Khan, Swarovski, Ganjam and Golecha Jewels were just a few popular names to showcase their precious designs at the glittering 3-day event. The ramp at Grand Hyatt hosted an impressive representation of Bollywood beauty – from the ever-gorgeous Sridevi to newbie Shraddha Kapoor. The grand finale had IIJW ambassador Sonam Kapoor making us go wow for her angelic looks, while an elegant Bipasha Basu showed up in her traditional best.
Let’s take a look at who-wore-what and walked the ramp for whom at the 5th edition of IIJW.
