Diamonds… Gold… Egypt!

Quite stunned with my tagline for the post, aren’t you? Well, It was quite a magical sight. Rough cut diamonds, Sultry melted gold with detailed color notching. Ahh…. Wish I was carrying my bag of big bucks to buy them all. All in good time I guess. Moving on… Nisha JamVwal yet again hosted this wonderful Champagne Cocktail evening at Zoya by Tanishq (Warden Road, Mumbai) to launch the new egypt themed jewellery collection. Read on…

Zoya, the exquisite diamond boutique, a Tata product, recreates the pristine mystique and heritage of Egypt with a very exclusive line of jewelry that  takes you to the world of ancient Egypt. This collection of  jewelry  takes  inspiration from the  Egyptian Pharaohs, Gods & Goddesses, the pyramids of Giza & the River Nile amongst others.

It seemed the whole of Kemps Corner was rejoicing the advent of the Egyptian collection launch. The Exterior of the store was like a magic door way to the land of vintage jewels and gems. As i walked in the store, the pristine floor marble, white washed walls and the fragrance of cheese and wine filled me up. I did not see many souls around, after walking in further, I was informed that the Belly Dance was in session on floor one. I walked up the glass filled stair case and there I see everyone. Drinks flowing in, finger foods served and the blissful belly dancer enticing the crowd with her moves. Nisha looked lovely in the Red Egyptian Gown she wore and her style of hosting and warmth is what makes every guest at her party extremely comfortable.

Nisha Jamwval with  Zoya hosted an Egyptian evening on Friday 12th August to introduce the Egypt collection to Mumbai’s glitterati with belly dancers and Egyptian cuisine  such as spinach & cheese fatayar,  humus tartlets, stuff potatoes with crushed pine nuts,  egyptian  spiced lamb balls, chicken stuff with olive & pine nuts, greek salad, fruit tarts, couscous cake etc.

I was off Non veg and alcohol that evening. The vegetarian options and mocktails did keep me company for the evening. The cream of Mumbai was oozing in at regular intervals in the store. Do see all the pictures for the celeb presence.

My eyes were dazzling with Hammered gold, inlayed & rendered into iconic shapes  gets embellished with rare stones like Lapis lazuli, emeralds, rubies, corals and diamonds. This is a limited edition line consisting of 86 distinct products, the Egypt Collection gets inspired by the numerous, beautiful imagery one associates with this the Land of the Gods: the calm River Nile, symbolic of fertility and resurrection, the famous pyramids of Giza, the eye of Horus etc.

From dramatic hoops to ornate pendants, from intricate necklaces to exquisite studs and hand cuffs, the Egypt line of jewelry from Zoya is truly distinct and wowed all guests present at the preview.

There were 2 more rounds of the super sizzling belly dance. While the crowd was grooving to the moves of the dancer, the media cam shutters were constantly doing what they do best, get the best shots.

After  a brief meeting with the PR agency and a couple of old friends. It was time for me to go. Wait! Did I tell you who came for the launch. NO? Hmmm… Read on…
