Verve picks of what’s hot to trot this season

JEWEL JOY
For when nothing but the last word in diamonds, gold and platinum will do, Anmol Jewellery unveils a new collection. From wrist cuffs to cocktail rings and earrings to full sets, these are stunning pieces that will match the traditional grandeur of the occasion even as they stand out from the crowd. Regal polki and bridal jewels make a lovely segment in the line.
At Emporio in New Delhi, Mumbai. Price on request.
SHOP DEAD GORGEOUS!
The 28-year-old heir to one of the country’s best-known jewellery traditions Harshang Zaveri makes a splash with his new boutique in Pune and a dazzling new contemporary line of diamond jewellery set in gold, platinum and more. Unusual patterns, intelligent use of elements and truly unmatchable combinations of precious stones and diamonds mark these pieces. A personification of exclusivity in all senses.
At Harshang Zaveri, Pune. Price on request.
BLUSHING BLOOM
Prepare for that perfect day of a lifetime with the Club Oasis Bridal Escape package at the Grand Hyatt, Mumbai, starting with an exfoliating body polish, leaving the skin feeling smooth as silk. Next up is a detoxifying bridal phytomer facial using marine-based products and plant extracts that completely revitalise you. The exclusive Kerastase hair ritual promotes hair growth and lustre. The journey is rounded off with an indulgent manicure and pedicure.

BAG FLAIR
Utter and unmistakable Giorgio Armani. An underarm bag with a leather handle, created in woven black silk ribbon that replicates the quality of perfect and delicate embroidery. The season’s new It Bag.
At Armani, Emporio, New Delhi. Price on request.
SPARKLING BEAUTIES
Coffee, tea, or diamonds? At the Kemps Corner boutique of Aurogem, the question doesn’t even occur: all this and more is simply part of the enthralling experience of spending time amidst the beauty and clarity of the 50-year-old brand’s masterpieces. The craftsmanship and finish of a truly spectacular array from their latest international collection.

LEATHER FORECAST
Power and pleasantness buzz around two respective new lines of Malini Agarwalla’s Fall/Winter ’09 leather-luxe at Malaga. Armoria’s emblem embellishments in Italian leather make statements out of bags, while the bags, shoes and jewellery of Tribula are Tibetan in look and feel.
At Mittal Tower, Mumbai. Price on request.
LUXE ACCENTS
Evening ensembles get a fillip this season with the arrival of Da Milano’s new luxury collection, a series of works of art in Italian leather. The pleated effect on plain or ostrich print and metallic crystallised leather catches the eye marvellously, and yet the pieces come with all the trappings of comfort.
At Select City Walk, Delhi and Phoenix Mills, Mumbai. Price on request.
DIVING IN
Professionalism and technical perfection meet the immortal elegance of the Jaeger-LeCoultre look in the Master Compressor Diving GMT Lady Céramique, with the collection’s first black dial. Clad in a new black ceramic case, slightly larger yet subtly slimmer, it achieves aesthetic refinement and reliable readability.
At Jaeger LeCoultre, New Delhi and select watch boutiques. Price on request.
MIDAS TOUCH
Cuttack wirework marries Jaipuri enamel and kundan. Adventurous? We’d say! All that is gold may not glitter, but in the hands of Tanishq, it certainly drives up the glam quotient. With their latest collection, Glam Gold, Tanishq pushes the envelope with their geometric designs. In spite of their ritzy contemporary feel, these ones are for keeps.
At Zoya in Mumbai, Delhi. Price on request.
LUXE COMPACT
Elizabeth Arden’s Pure Finish Mineral Powder Foundation SPF 20, with its new fresh ground technology, has been packaged cleverly: in an easy grinder compact so you can decided exactly how much coverage you need. All you need to do is twist, swirl, tap and apply for pure perfection every time.
At Parcos and leading departmental stores across India. Price on request.
TRULY SCRUMPTIOUS
Creamy milk. Rich roasted almond rock. Soft-centred pralines. Truffles, Swiss-style. Chances are that any thought of these transports you into chocolate fantasy – quite literally. Fantasie Fine Chocolates, India’s most famous designer sweeties, have been confecting their dreamy masterworks for over 60 years now. From over 33 varieties of solid chocolate to an array of assortments, and enchanting novelties like chocolate jewellery, Fantasie is at the centre of a veritable tradition of knowing, loving and relishing chocolate.
At Fantasie, Mumbai and Pune. Price on request.
GRACE LAND
The experience of over a decade of adorning women shows at Satyani’s. Their quiet, exclusive little Mumbai boutiques shimmer with the promise of their diverse, delicate and sublimely graceful jewellery. From exclusive neckpieces and earrings to cringes and bracelets, made with insight and infinite care, Satyani’s offers a chance to own something of unmatched purity and value.
