On Wednesday evening, Former Miss India turned designer, Dhody, who has her jewellery range named Queenie has tied up with Notandas jewellers in South Extension in Delhi reveled her new collection.

She has also offered to buyers on how to team up her jewellery with clothes and will put them in touch with fashion designers to purchase matching clothes as part of the deal.

A prominent socialite and a fashion write will offers fashion consultancy services in Mumbai and Delhi. The former model, better known for her fashionable wardrobe and equally fashionable parties confides that she’s been a closeted jewellery designer since 18.

Her jewellery known as "Jewels by Queenie" is a mix of contemporary art deco and antique jewellery, which are large and opulent. Her cool collection consists of earrings, pendants, finger rings, necklaces and bracelets - has been crafted with diamonds, both cut and uncut (polki), emeralds, rubies and icy sapphires (peridots) set in 18 carat white and yellow gold.

“A line in beaten gold will arrive shortly,” adds Dhody. “Gold is in, and I give it a contemporary spin in my collection.”

One of the intricately-crafted unfurled rose earrings and a matching finger ring in beaten gold and petals of clustered diamonds stood out for their craftsmanship.

Queenie is designing the jewellery since last six years professionally and has also taken some courses for it. The lady was passionate about it and thus took it professionally later. She was also the first contemporary designer to use 'polki' or uncut diamonds for earrings before any of her peers thought of it. 

She has held several jewellery exhibitions since 2003 in the US, Dubai and Syria , and early this year, set up her store, Jewels by Queenie at Mumbai’s upscale Peddar Road. There she showed a cool bracelet of her own choice. The fashionista, clad in a short pink dress with a ruffled sash, teamed the bracelet with diamond danglers.

Dhody said that the three trends in jewellery fashion this season, were "timelessness, bling and style".

Her collection ranges from Rs.100,000 and Rs.10 million. She boasts, “There is something for everyone”
