The ever-sophisticated Karisma wore a beige net sari with a sleeveless orange blouse, the ensemble forming just the right backdrop for her gold and emerald rani haar and gold bracelet. A slick updo and darkly done-up eyes completed her look.

She was the perfect choice to model the show-stopping piece of the collection. Her inherent poise, timeless style, stunning figure and illustrious lineage were all quite apparent as she sashayed down the runway.

As for the rest of the collection, it was designed using gold, emeralds, diamonds, pearls and rubies from every part of the world. An undercurrent of ethnic elegance ran through every piece whether it was the vintage necklaces, the dazzling cuff bracelets or the heavy jhumka earrings.

Most of the necklaces featured multiple strings of both white and black pearls with emeralds, rubies and diamonds set against it. There were a few pearl-only pieces which featured pearls of varying sizes with gold accents.

The jewellery itself told quite a story which is perhaps why it was no surprise that the outfits were in dominantly neutral hues so that the bling could stand out better. But don’t let that fool you into thinking that they were in any way boring. The spate of whites, beiges and greys on the runway enhanced the collection, indeed, but the saris, evening gowns and anarkali outfits were resplendent enough to hold their own on any given day.
