Talking about the collection, Ms. Sangeeta Dewan–Head Design Studio, Tanishq said, “Glam Gold 2010 Collection is inspired by two distinct regional crafts- Gujarati rava work & Rajasthani meenakari and fuses them together in a contemporary manner. Glam Gold Collection is designed keeping in mind the demand for variations in gold jewellery”

The event featured a fashion show choreographed by Achla Sachdev. Stunning and renowned models Dipanita Sharma, Candice Pinto, Alecia Raut, Hemangi Pate, Binal Trivedi and Sony Kaur walked the ramp showcasing this exclusive collection. The beautiful ensembles were designed by Asif and Sajeda. It was indeed an evening adorned with style and substance!

Targeting the modern-day woman who is firmly rooted to her Indian values, Glam Gold II collection extensively focuses on elaborate Jaipur chatai & multi-colour enameling engraved on gold surface in intricate floral designs. The surface ornamentation of gold sheet is done using yester years’ techniques of fine granulation and detailed stamp & wire work- a unique characteristic of Gujarat jewellery.
