What’s
In Store?
According
to Bangalore-based designer Arushi Amla, this season is dedicated to the typical
middle class working woman who would pick a piece jewellery that will speak to
her, only her, yet all about her. A touch of class to leave a lasting impression
with the clients.
Her latest collection introduces unprecedented designs
best suited for regular wear. You can chose the ‘mix ’n’ match’ option based on
the dress code, event and even mood swing.
Lively and bright designs blend
with stones like tourmaline, aquamarine, different colours of topaz, rodolite,
peridot, rubies, emaralds and sapphires to make this range an instant success
with busy executives.
Look for that thin, ‘just-there’ gold/ silver chain
supporting a dazzling precious stone sitting pretty between a nicely cut neckline.
The earrings are the stones in themselves, with no special decoration. Maybe just
subtle silver or gold extenders.
As the climate shifts from a pleasant
spring to a chilly winter, the gems that will catch the eye are Rhinestones, Aquamarines
and Citrines. Of course, diamonds are still a woman’s best friend. And some fancy
the platinum that has made jewellery not just a work of art but a cherished heirloom.The
irresistible pieces are classic, wearable and combine timeless appeal with a dash
of elegance. Wear it to work and then show it off at a party later in the evening.
The
designs and curves are intricately done, not exactly a marriage collection, but
more restrained. Live it light this season, advices Arushi. Besides, springtime
is always associated with cheerfulness and buoyancy. The period of existence.
The most attractive of them all.

I want to construct a house in this plot. The Eashan corner of this plot is cut
off. To get rid of this Vaastu Dosh, our Vaastu pandit has installed metal pyramids
inside the land on the excess area of East Agney to the Eashan corner. So that
we don’t have to leave the excess areas of the East Agney. He has told us that
by installing the metal pyramids, the Vaastu Dosh of the Eashan corner will vanish.
I want to know whether by installing the metal pyramids inside the land, we can
get rid of the Vaastu Dosh of Eashan. If not what will be the bad effects of this
Vaastu Dosh? Please help. Full Story
