MUMBAI: The Gitanjali Group formally launched “Bollywood Gold” a new range of gold jewellery, on the sidelines of the Provogue Global Indian Film Awards (GIFA) being held at Kuala Lumpur. A D’damas offering, ‘Bollywood Gold’ is being launched in association with the World Gold Council and is a successful effort to bring international standards of design and styling into Indian jewellery.
The group has already launched an all-new advertising campaign with Bollywood star, Minisha Lamba, as the face of the brand.
The design styling is inspired by the non-conventional motifs and is targeted at the contemporary Indian women. Using coloured stones and bold and chunky forms, the range presents a huge variety of chic jewellery that would interest any women in the ages of 18-38 years. Gold as a material offers several opportunities of styling in terms of textures, finishes and volumes. It is this beauty that the brand explores through its product line.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Mehul C. Choksi said, “Beyond all laws of trends and fads, gold jewellery in India has attained for itself a timeless connotation. Gold offers a scope for a lot of design innovation and experimentation and we are glad to introduce our collection, Bollywood Gold that translates the possibilities of this metal to the most beautiful adornments, for our customers in India and abroad.”
More about Bollywood Gold.
This gold jewellery collection from D’damas Gold in association with the World Gold Council is as dramatic as the tinsel world it draws its inspiration from. This unique set of designs from D’damas sought in-film placement in the Bollywood blockbuster – Krrish. More such promotions will be a natural outcome for this collection as it is inspired by the magic of Bollywood. The brand is steeped in the glamour and glitz of celluloid and has already become a hit in the initial test marketing.
The Group can already boast of its presence in the markets of USA, Japan, Europe and Middle East, with further expansion plans of setting up a retail chain in the U.S. and the Middle East. The existing network of the brand would enable the availability of its collection, both in India and the other parts of the world.
