Mumbai,
(ANI):
Bollywood
actor
Sharmila
Tagore
walked
the
ramp
wearing
scintillating
jewellery
pieces
at
the
India
International
Jewellery
Week
(IIJW)
here
on
Wednesday.
Modern
art
jewellery
pieces
designed
by
Radhika
Singh
and
Sayanta
Sarkar
were
displayed.
The
overall
collection
blended
intricately
carved
necklaces,
armlets,
and
chains
of
uncut
diamonds
on
corded
strands
and
chunky
gold
bracelets.
Sharmila
Tagore
said
the
jewellery
collection
had
a
touch
of
her
native
place,
Kolkata.
“Wonderful
designers
and
when
I
was
asked
to
come
and
be
the
show
stopper
here,
I
accepted
because
there
are
couple
of
reasons
behind
this.
As
you
know
my
daughter
Sabah
Ali
Khan
is
also
a
jewellery
designer
and
she
is
also
participating," said
Tagore.
“Suyanta
is
the
seventh
generation
jeweller
from
his
family
and
his
family
happens
to
be
from
Kolkata,
so
that
is
a
huge
connection
and
you
must
have
gathered
that
from
sindoor
and
the
music
and
everything
which
had
that
Kolkata
touch
and
of
course
the
jewellery
was
fantastic," said
Tagore.
The
extravaganza
showcases
the
collections
of
30
designers,
including
Farah
Khan
Ali,
Varun
D.
Jani,
Bina
Goenka
and
Rhea
Nasta.
Well-known
jewellery
brands
like
Mirari,
Gitanjali,
Amrapali,
Tanishq
and
Ganjam
are
also
participating.
Buyers
from
Japan,
Russia,
Britain,
China,
Italy,
Malaysia,
Libya,
Morocco,
Iran,
the
Czech
Republic,
Poland,
Ukraine,
Azerbaijan
and

are
taking
part.
India's
