Rina Dhaka chose to go with the contemporary look for her show on DAY 2 of the Shree Raj Mahal Jewellers India Couture Week, with exquisite baju bandhs, kalgi, toda and jadau pieces from Shree Raj Mahal Jewellers Svara and Sondaraya collections.

Inspired by the very verbose iconography of the gota work of Rajasthan, Rina takes it forward, enriching it with her inimitable style and soft sensual appeal. She has re created in her own language new sizes and styles in the gota patti, placed it against tinsel sheers and lace.

Extensive use of intricate embroidery elements from between the region of Rajasthan and some from the heartland of Uttar Pradesh are rearranged in a layered, lace like manner.

Techniques of zardozi, kamdani, ari and lace and metallic gota developments to her specification have been blended with tonal beading and soft embroidery to create a look of romance. Gota patti, zardozi are set against a lace like background, contrasted by Mughal animal paintings depicted on fur lined velvet capes.

She used jewellery in meenakari and polki to highlight traditional designs from her collections and diamonds from the Sondaraya collections, to add panache to the contemporary designs. The diamonds from the Sondaraya collections are cut in oval and pear shape. With the magnificent pearl toda and distinctive coloured stone sets.

Paired with Rina Dhaka’s gorgeous couture, the jewellery was truly a sight to behold. Rina Dhaka’s ultra modish designs added sheer elegance to the collection as the pearl earrings and bracelets stood out beautifully on the models. 

The jewellery was created by designer extraordinaire, Praveen Goel, CEO, Shree Raj Mahal Jewellers and was a perfect amalgamation of traditional Indian craftsmanship and western design.
