Each piece is created with equal head, heart and hand; each jewel is unique and independent. Intricate fretwork and miniature sculptures imbued with meaning that serve as a personal reminder for you to wear. Her work tiptoes the line between art, craft and design, sometimes crossing over to fashion.Her signature style is intricate and exquisitely detailed, the delicate hand made fretwork which is a disappearing skill, with just a handful of craftsmen remaining. She has worked with them since 2003 and honed their skills to the level of perfection that the pieces are often mistaken as laser or machine cut. She incorporates this fretwork in every collection, and is working towards ensuring that this is not the last generation of master craftsmen with whom this skill will disappear, only to be seen in museums of tomorrow.Her label ‘Eina Ahluwalia’ is synonymous with luxury jewellery poised at the intersection of art, fashion and design. Each piece is intricate and intense, subtle yet strong. Rooted in tradition and imbued with meaning, her jewellery always has something ‘precious’ in it – sterling silver, semi-precious stones and a meaningful concept.Eina trained under the pioneering conceptual jeweller Ruudt Peters in Holland, and studied at Alchimia Contemporary Jewellery School in Florence, Italy.

Farah Khan Ali
Born in Mumbai on Dec 28th 1969, Farah Khan was the eldest of the 4 children of parents Actor-Producer-Director Sanjay Khan and his wife Interior Designer Zarine Khan. As a child Farah was an introvert and shy in nature. She did her schooling at Besant Montessori School and Jamnabai Narsee School after which she finished her BA at Sophia College in Mumbai. Not knowing what she wanted to do and having tried her hand at everything raging from Ad films to interior design and even television production, Farah’s foray into the jewellery line was purely by chance when she decided to accompany her friend on a whim to do a course in Gemology at the renowned Gemological Institute of America in Santa Monica, California in 1992. Farah Khan graduated at the top of her class in 1993 with a 97% and is now a well known and recognized Jewellery Designer and Gemologist.Farah Khan married Aqeel Ali (known professionally as DJ Aqeel) on 20th February 1999 and became Farah Khan-Ali. They have two children a boy Azaan who is 8 yrs and girl Fizaa who is 5yrs old.With 17 years of focus and experience in this field, she still feels like a creatively inclined soul who happened to come into Jewellery Designing by chance, only to discover that she was born for it. Despite having designed for some of the top Bollywood stars and people from India’s foremost business families, she insists on being a perfectionist who loves to please herself first so that so that she can eventually please her clients. She admits that she has to do everything well so that it all comes together eventually.The designer, who gives creative pursuits utmost importance, is a private person who behaves like a garrulous extrovert in the company of friends and relatives. Having years of experience behind her and a celebrity clientele of the who’s who, her brand, “FARAH KHAN” which was launched in February 2004 in Mumbai has grown from one outlet to three now. Currently Farah Khan will be opening her own flag ship store this year in Mumbai and also franchises with Om Jewellers in Mumbai, AKM Mehrasons in New Delhi,. For Farah, inspiration begins with a strong emotion. “You have to feel to be inspired. Design is not about getting inspired from what you have seen in jewellery, but the process of being able to find design wherever you go. Design can reveal itself to you whenever & wherever – be it through flashes of intuition or thoughts or dreams. It is pertinent to note that human beings think alike but it is their interpretation, which makes a difference. I am inspired through the process of life & my experiences of it.”. “My designs are flamboyant, ornate and adventurous. I believe that jewellery should make you feel like a princess when you wear it no matter how big or small the piece of jewellery is, it should be eye catching and make the wearer feel special.” – Farah Khan. Each & every piece from Farah’s jewellery line is crafted using the highest quality standards. Right from the metals used to gemstones & diamonds, Farah only insists on the best & does not compromise on finish. To Farah, every piece of her jewellery is very close to her heart, & one that is painstakingly created from the design stage to the finished stage using the best hands craftsmen in the country. Most of her pieces are limited pieces & are seldom repeated. Her clientele swears by her finish & keep coming back for more. Farah’s greatest satisfaction is a happy client. FARAH KHAN jewellery is distinctive in style. We emphasize on jewellery. That is intricate yet striking, bold yet feminine. Unusual colours combined with exotic gems set the basis for our novel designs. All our jewellery is set and crafted using the highest standards in manufacturing techniques thus never compromising on the finish. In a short span the label has become synonymous with setting high standards for style, quality, detailing, design and elegance. Our jewellery has a life and identity of its own. “When I play with precious gemstones its like creating an object of beauty and desire, one that outlives its wearer and brings a sea of memories with it when it is handed down generation.” – Farah Khan. Internationally Farah Khan has also designed for Swarovski where Farah Farah also took part in Swarovski’s Runway Rocks, which was show cased in Mumbai in April 2008 along with 9 other Indian designers and 14 international designers. Farah was the only Indian jewellery designer selected for this event. She then also took part in Swarovski’s 5th Anniversary celebration for Runway Rocks in London in June 2008 along with fellow India fashion designer Manish Arora and a host of top 25 international designers. Her piece drew a lot of attention and made news in London’s “Daily Telegraph” newspaper. Farah Khan was featured and Interviewed in the Gemvision 2009, a book on forthcoming trends in the jewellery industry from Swarovski where she used genuine gemstones. She created a ruby and pink sapphire bracelet inspired from the soft petals of a Rose.

This year too Farah Khan was asked to design for Gemvision 2011 and has designed a Peacock cuff that was showcased at the International jewllery Trade fair in Basel in April 2010. In June 2009, Farah showcased her designs at the 10th anniversary celebrations of IIFA (The Indian International Film Awards) in Macau where she was the only jewellery designer to singularly have more than 10 Bollywood personalities wear her jewelllery on the Green carpet a feat never achieved before.

Farah Khan also designed jewellery for the hit Television Show Rakhee Ka Swayamwar where she designed Rakhee Sawants Bridal Jewellery. The Show was which was telecast in 2009 grossed the highest TRPs at that time. In October 2009 Farah Khan showcased her couture jewellery collection “Cascades”. for the HDIL Couture Week 2009 that explored the natural flow and forms created by cascading fabric across a woman’s body thus capturing this graceful, ethereal elegance into handcrafted jeweled ornaments. The Cascades Collection unveiled new necklines in jewellery and was an ode to the varied moods of feminity from innocence to sexy. Rich tones of precious coloured gemstones such as Emerald Greens, Rubelite Pinks, Tanzanite Blues and Yellow Diamonds formed the vibrant colour palette. For the first time Farah beautifully merged the old with the new using the traditional Indian “Jadau” techniques in jewellery along with Diamonds set in 18 kt Gold. HDIL Couture week was held in Mumbai at the Grand Hyatt in Farah’s showstoppers were actress Genelia Dsouza and her sister Sussanne Roshan who stole the show with her fabulous jewels. Farah at present is looking forward to opening her own flagship store in Mumbai this year as well as to expand her franchise stores internationally. Her advice to those looking to pursue a career in jewellery is to be passionate about what you do and to “think out of the box”. Only then you will succeed for the road less traveled is more exciting as you may discover more things on the way. Be diligent and focused. Do not get disheartened by failure and push harder to reach your goal. Farah Khan was awarded the best Jewellery Designer Award by the Lions Gold club in January 2010 this year and was also received the DNA award for society’s most stylish swan. Due to her penchant for tweeting Farah was selected as the TWITTER ambassador for WILLS LIFESTYLE INDIA FASHION WEEK this year thus replacing actress Gul Panang who was the Wills Twitter Ambassador last year. Farah covered the WILLS LIFESTYLE INDIA FASHION WEEK in Delhi between March 24th – March 28th where she tweeted live from the venue about fashion and the designer shows. Says Farah Khan who is celebrating 17 years in the business – my jewellery is a celebration of today’s woman who is feminine yet strong, graceful yet determined. It is about a real woman, one that is sensual in her being and confident in her existence, a woman who is beautiful inside out……………..A true “Farah Khan” woman who can carry of a piece of jewelery with understated flamboyance and make a definite style statement.

Neelam Kothari
Neelam Kothari Fine Jewels has been the pioneer in creating very exclusive and fine handmade jewellery. In her jewellery, she usually uses very good quality diamonds, Columbian emerald and Burma rubies. At the same time she also keeps her pricing competitive for the local customers in India. The store in Bandra, one of the up-market suburbs in Mumbai, has a large number of various hand-made jewellery designs on display like necklaces, earrings, pendants, bracelets and rings. Keeping in mind the festive and bridal season, Neelam’s new collection consists of necklace set, cocktail ring, earrings and bracelets. Less is more for Neelam’s store. Without going overboard with the store interiors, Neelam wanted her jewellery to attract the attention of the visitors. Simple wooden display units, conventional lighting equipments play perfect second fiddle to the exquisite range of jewellery designed by Neelam. The simplistic character of the store interior would invariably draw the visitors to the kind of products Neelam wants to showcase. Neelam Kothari is a British Indian jewellery designer and former actress. She was one of the leading and popular actresses of the late 1980s and 1990s. Neelam Kothari was born in Hong Kong.

But after 1990 their next 3 films as a pair were failures. However her career’s biggest hit remains Ghar Ka Chiraag opposite Rajesh Khanna in 1989. Box Office success left her from the early 1990s. Her roles, including the one in Ek Ladka Ek Ladki opposite Salman Khan, Pratigyabandh, Doodh Ka Karz, Parampara, Banjaran, Ranbhoomi and films like Indrajeet, Agneepath, Gharana, Amiri Garibi, Afsana Pyar Ka were flops and thus taking her career into decline.

In 1999, she appeared in supporting role in the multi-starrer family film Hum Saath-Saath Hain: We Stand United. Her last release was Kasam in 2001.

Historical Facts, Current Trends in Luxury Brands & the Roadmap for future
The luxury concept has throughout history played an important role in social life by being a clear indicator of knowledge and social class which has not changed at present but only becoming catchier. Today, the demand for luxury brands is ever increasing and brand offering is continuously on the rise. The luxury market is expanding rapidly in India on the back of economic deregulation, fast GDP growth, wealth (re)generation, increasing per capita consumption, and a growing young working population. Wealthy Indians represent a source of enormous potential for global luxury brands.
India’s growing luxury market is set to exceed $10 billion-mark by 2014 boosted by a new class of wealthy termed as the ‘closet customers’ who have have joined the traditionally rich contributing to higher luxe sales, the impact of the economic slowdown in 2013 has impacted the luxury market to a certain extent but it recovered & the market is expected to revive and continue its growth trajectory and grow at nearly 17 per cent in the year 2015. From about $3.66 billion in 2007, the luxury market has more than doubled to $7.58 billion in 2012.According to industry experts, India could emerge as an important luxury market in the next decade but pricing will continue to play a key role in expanding the market. As of now, India’s luxury market is much smaller compared with $318 billion globally but the 1.2 billion populations, which contains affluent consumers, makes it very appealing.India could become an important luxury market in the next decade. However, right pricing is very important. A luxury brand cannot bring down prices just to attract more customers, to make it more affordable. Premium pricing is essential to ensure the brand exclusivity.The luxury market in India is slated to grow at a compounded annual growth rate of over 17 per cent for next three years. the real challenge is ensuring brand loyalty from customers.For luxury companies, making brand familiar is the most important challenge. The next is to ensure that customer remains loyal to the brand. Luxury is no longer restricted to the rich & famous alone; the new age or ‘closet consumers’ who do not typically fit into the boardroom definition of luxury consumers are staking claims to luxury products, brands and services as well, but on their own terms.
The Award ceremony will be held on 21st August 2015 in a glittering evening where the country’s top leaders from all spectrums of the society & the result will be announced.
