International Gemological Institute (IGI)is giving an opportunity to four of its alumni of the School of Gemology, to send their designs for a showcase on the runway at India International Jewellery Week (IIJW). IGI is also the ‘Powered by’ partner @ IIJW 2013, to promote and encourage this platform alongwith GJEPC.

The four individuals, all graduates of IGI’s Jewellery Design Program in Mumbai, partnered with well-known jewellery manufacturers to produce their custom works. Namita Naik partnered with Anaya Jewels, Sakshi Dhameliya created designs with Gehna Jewellers , Hetvi Jasani designed for Ashi Jewellery pvt ltd and Vidhi Chaudhary designed with Khurana Jewellery House. The creations are influenced by both contemporary and classic designs. They will be showcased at the New Delhi fashion show on 12 April 2013, at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi.

“We developed the curriculum to foster high levels of expertise and that was evident in the incredible designs created by our four alumni,” said Tehmasp Printer, managing director of IGI. “IGI actively nurtures the bonds between past and present students and the diamond and jewellery, often resulting in practical career opportunities for our students. ”
