I was instantly enamoured by the large diamonds rocks at AARanchiminov, Pluzenick & Ajaria Gems. The coloured diamond collection at Novel Collection not only promised uniqueness but also great quality.

While I enjoyed my time at the fair, I deeply missed celebrating Ganesh Chaturthi back home and my sheer coincidence I chanced on the booth of Mario Buzzanca, an Italian pearls and fine jewellery designer.

I was mesmerised to see an engraved, gold, south sea pearl figurine of Lord Ganesha. Yes, a dancing Lord Ganesh art object crafted keeping the finest details on Indian culture in mind. I also had the opportunity to interview the man himself and understand his fascination behind the same.

Lastly, The diamond necklaces by Hueb inspired by nature from its luminous collection with droplets and burst of diamonds, mirroring the beauty and fire within each of us, was truly one of a kind!!!
