(ME NewsWire) - Rasvihar of Chennai, India, is set to launch a collection of precious jewellery, designed by Ahalya, during the Dubai International Jewellery Week at stall # B4-19 at Dubai World Trade Centre between November 11 and 15, 2008. Rasvihar seeks to initiate relationships with select lifestyle retail stores and exclusive boutiques in Middle East and Europe for retail sale.
This marks a major milestone for Resplenda Expressions Private Limited, a company founded by jewellery designer S.Ahalya and Prabodh Jain. Rasvihar, a division of Resplenda Expressions Private Limited, opened its first showroom, spread over a luxurious 6,500 square feet, on September 1, 2007 at 17a Sterling Avenue, Nungambakkam, Chennai 600034, INDIA.
As a contemporary woman, designer S.Ahalya recognized a lack of choices that women with Indian sensibilities had when it came to jewellery that would complement their lifestyle. She then set out to create a line that offered classic styling with a sense of elegance. This handcrafted collection caters to the woman who appreciates the finer things and who is unafraid of expressing her individuality and personal style. Rasvihar’s Lace collection consists of bangles, rings, ear rings and neckpieces made of 18 carat gold and round brilliant diamonds and is priced between USD500 - USD12,000. It is one of 5 distinct collections that Rasvihar will present to the world at the Dubai International Jewellery Week. Rasvihar clients are attorneys, doctors, moms, businesswomen and architects, just to name a few.
About Ahalya:
Ahalya, co-founder of Rasvihar, trained the traditional Indian way in dance and fine art. She underwent rigorous, special art training for 12 years starting at the age of six. She has completed a course in diamond grading conducted by the International Gemology Institute.
"People are my inspiration," says Ahalya, "so I see no contradiction between my artistic urges and my clients' needs. All my jewellery is designed with a specific person in mind – not necessarily someone I've met. Many times, I'd make jewellery that was inspired by a particular person, and soon enough that same person would walk in and claim the piece for her own."
During the Dubai International Jewellery Week, Rasvihar invites owners and managers of luxury retail stores and exclusive boutiques in Middle East and Europe, for discussions regarding retail sale.
