Mumbai | 13th February 2020: Forevermark, the diamond brand from De Beers Group, is once again delighted to collaborate with celebrated fashion designer Bibhu Mohapatra, on his Fall/Winter 2020 collection during New York Fashion Week. The exquisite new designs by Narayan Jewellers from their Empress Collection have been superbly crafted with beautiful, rare and responsibly sourced Forevermark diamonds.
For his Fall/Winter 2020 collection Bibhu drew inspiration from the modern Indian woman. Tying together the history of women throughout all facets of Indian culture, along with influence from the strong women in the designer’s life, the collection weaves together a narrative of the modern Bibhu woman. Examining the evolution of Indian women throughout history and influenced by Indian poet Amrita Pritam’s novel Pinjar, the collection is a celebration of today’s resilient women, who demonstrate their strength and courage against all odds.
Infused with traditional Indian crafts from the world of textiles and arts along with modern architectural silhouettes, the collection incorporates bold colour and texture. Complementing the exquisite artistry of Bibhu’s fashion designs, The Empress Collection expertly designed by Forevermark Jeweller, Narayan Jewellers by Ketan and Jatin Chokshi reflects the rich tapestry of Bibhu Mohapatra’s fall/winter 2020 collection. The selection of statement jewellery crafted with beautiful, rare and responsibly sourced Forevermark diamonds, set in 18K white and rose gold, comprises 7 capsule collections featuring ear climbers, ear jackets, chandelier earrings, asymmetrical earrings, stackable rings and cocktail handcuffs. Inspired by nature with a special focus on the universal concept of solar systems in all designs, the combination of flowers, centipedes, dew drops, sun, moon and stars are intelligently and beautifully entwined, making the collection desirable to everybody.
Celebrating their 80th Anniversary, Narayan Jewellers by Ketan and Jatin Chokshi is one of India’s leading jewellers known for its high standards of precision and quality in hand crafting striking, elegant diamond jewellery.
“This is the fifth time Forevermark, our fine jewellery partner and I have collaborated with Ketan and Jatin Chokshi of Narayan Jewellers, who have created an exquisite collection of fine jewellery crafted with carefully selected Forevermark diamonds, named “The Empress Collection”. Narayan Jewellers is a legacy couture jewellery brand led by two brilliant jewellery designers Ketan and Jatin. They have unique design sensibilities that speak to a global audience. It is amazing to see the different concepts they come up with like the Ear climbers, ear jackets, asymmetrical earrings and how beautifully they execute these concepts using the finest technology in fine jewellery, bringing these pieces to life. I’m especially thrilled to have collaborated with Narayan Jewellers on their 80th anniversary year and wish them the very best.
