Rita Rudner

A collection of silver jewellery with gold and rodium plating is on for sale in the City.


May be I'm paranoid, but in this day and age, I don't want something around my neck that's worth more than my head. So I asked my husband for costume jewellery,” said American comedian Rita Rudner.

If you are looking for affordable yet well-made jewellery that doesn’t cost you an arm and a leg, never mind your head, Aruna Pathreekar is in the City from Hyderabad with her collection of silver jewellery with gold and rodium plating.

The central theme of her pieces are the Mughal-inspired jewels worn by royalty and toned down to give them a more wearable and contemporary look. Aruna has large Victorian style cocktail rings which can be worn on the forefinger. “The piece de resistance of my current collection are my anklets. They are so richly detailed that many
customers have asked me if they can be converted into necklaces. They look spectacular worn with churidar, capris or skirt,” she says.

She also has Bajubands which are royal replicas of Mughal armlets refashioned to be worn around the neck, around the arm with a sleeveless blouse or even around the wrist like a bracelet.

“I am going for a wedding and don’t want the hassle of carrying expensive pieces that will stress me out. I need something dressy, preferably the uncut diamond look in white stones that will suit any thing I wear,” said one shopper.

Meenakari Kadas with elaborate work, Victorian style necklaces and earrings, American diamond bracelets and bangles with rodium finish are all on display. “Jhumkas are back in style and I have both traditional and the modern styles. My American diamond pieces are rodium finished so that the sheen never wears off. All you have to do once in a while is give them a wash with hot water and a drop of shampoo and they are as good as new,” she adds.

Aruna’s sale is on at ffolio till August 9 and prices range from Rs 2,000 to Rs 50,000.
