Tanishq has incorporated the timelessness of these styles into exquisite jewellery designs to present a collection where fashion and tradition converge.

This line of precious stones and diamond jewellery in 18k from Tanishq comprises more than 200 pieces and is by far the largest studded collection launched by the brand.

Speaking on the launch of the collection Mr.Govind Raj V, General Manager - Sales and Marketing, Tanishq, said, "We expect this collection to create great excitement for our consumers, especially those who wish to buy something unique, contemporary and classic.

Commenting on the designs, -Sharat Sharma, designer, Tanishq Design Studio said " The Victorian styling in the Colors of Royalty range has been brought to life through use of sensuous curves, balance, rhythm and symmetry of the classic motifs in an unconventional manner. Rubies and emeralds have been sprinkled with diamonds to create a grand and unmatched symphony. While these precious stones enhance the look of the diamonds, they also add a dash of color by breathing life in otherwise conventional designs."
