    First Prize
    Designer: Radhika Mahesh Jhalani from Mumbai
    The combination of the fully ripened golden alphonso mango and the brilliance of the summer sun was the inspiration for the creation. This is realised in the interaction of positive and negative space.

    Second Prize
    Designer: Sri Raghunath Jana from Kolkata
    The design is inspired by the natural beauty of creepers. This theme is extended with the entwining of the jewellery around the neck, thus using the natural beauty of the piece to enhance the beauty of the wearer.

    Third Prize
    Designer: Krishma S. Jain from Bangalore
    This design is intended for women who value their traditional roots, yet dare to experiment with the contemporary. These pieces are a combination of form, rhythm and vibrancy, blending wood with white and yellow gold.

    Audience Choice Award
    Designer: Reema Gangwal from Aurangabad
    The design takes the traditional “dupatta” and adds a reflective quality to it by using gold chains. This produces a fashionable look that is enhanced by the mango designs.
