Sparkling diamonds, 22 karat gold intricate designs, and fabulous path breaking trends made the Azva wedding jewelery show; launched by the World Gold Council a memorable opening on the fourth day of the Aamby Valley India Bridal Fashion Week 2012.
Azva which comes from the Sanskrit word “Ashva” means Seven, which once again symbolizes the seven vows (sath pheras) made by the couple on the wedding day.
The bridal jewellery had gorgeous necklaces, which dazzled under the arc lights, the earrings were a vision to behold and bangles twinkled daintily on the slender wrists of the models.
The gold beaded necklace with circular drops, the Rani Haar with matching gold chandeliers and the flat shimmering necklace with ornate designs were visions of beauty.
Geometric circles added to the glitter of the neckpiece encrusted with precious stones and a delicate lacey flat necklace was teamed with trellised jhumkas. The many rigid necklaces were carved with intricate gold designs and the five swirls with pearl edging gave an interesting twist to neck décor.
With a myriad designs to choose from, the bride could also select the graduating pyramid set or the one with tiny clustered gold beads with a ruby centre. Multi chains for a Rani Haar, mesh gold neck ornaments with imposing pendants and the final gold and ruby floral choker, the high collar with funnel shaped earrings, cuffs and the giant leaf gold set were fabulous.
The stunning bridal wear designed by Anita Dongre added to the drama and grace of the ornaments as the models glided down the ramp.
Ending the show were the newlyweds – the gorgeous Esha Deol and her dashing husband, Bharat Takhtani. Esha was decked in the most magnificent giant gold lacy rigid pearl edged necklace that covered her shoulders and was encrusted with ruby flowers with matching earrings and bracelets.
