The pictures above are from a couple of weeks ago, taken at a press conference, announcing the launch of Reliance Jewellery stores in Bangalore. The models sashayed down the runway, showcasing myriad designs mostly in Gold. However, the question is, is there absolutely anything left that Reliance hasn’t dipped its fingers into??

And more importantly, is that male model wearing heavy gold jewellery?!!

Bangalore also saw a Shobha Asar jewellery exhibition at The Oberoi and for its inauguration, the star power came in the form of Kareena Kapoor.

Ignoring the obvious issues with eye make-up, do you think her choice of jewellery matched the outfit?

No More Sakina

Now that “Saawariya” is old news, someone is breaking free from the “Sakina” avatar. A glammed up Sonam Kapoor attended the “Sony United Endeavor” to promote Saawariya again.

While I love her dress, the slip-on flats just look so bleh.

And those tacky curls just remind me of Ash in “Kyun Ho Gaya Na”. I have yet to see someone look good in fake curls!

The Cursed Delhi Purple Sapphire

The cursed Delhi Purple Sapphire is going to be on display at the Natural History Museum’s gemstone exhibit “The Vault,” in London and while the amethyst stone itself isn’t rare or even pricey, the curse it carries makes for a fascinating story.

According to The Times, the amethyst was first brought to the UK by Colonel W Ferris, after being looted from the Temple of Indra in Kanpur in 1857. The soldier lost all of his money and health and the same ill-fortune fell upon his son when he inherited it. A family friend who later owned it, committed suicide. In 1890, Heron-Allen got the stone and went onto suffer great misfortunes. In 1904 after having had enough of it, he had the amethyst shipped to his bankers stating that it was to stay locked away until after his death.

The curse didn’t just end with that. The Times reports that seven years ago John Whittaker, former head of micropalaeontology at the Natural History Museum, took the amethyst to the first annual symposium of the Heron-Allen Society and, on the way home from it, was caught in a huge thunderstorm. At the second symposium he fell sick with a stomach bug and on the third he got a kidney stone.

Fascinating isn’t it? For more, read The Times article Here Via Luxist.
