Go graceful!
Ruwini Jayawardana
 Grace, grandeur and beauty are the key words that one would use to
describe Colombo Jewellery Stores’ Perpetual Grace Collection which was
unveiled at their Alfred House Gardens, Colombo 3, branch recently.
The stunning jewellery collection was launched by CJS brand
ambassador former Miss Sri Lanka and Bollywood actress Jacqueline
Fernandez. Donning an amazing pair of emerald, pearl and diamond
chandelier earrings set with 30 carats of emeralds and 7.5 carats of
diamonds, Jacqueline’s set comprises both gold and white gold. The range
also includes white bakelite and diamond earrings, bracelets and rings
and has been inspired by CJS Chairman Akram Cassim’s passion for horses.
“The Perpetual Grace collection epitomises radiance and timeless
elegance. An element of fun and excitement is portrayed in a collection
of coloured stone jewellery,” he explained on what their latest
jewellery collection stands for.
“It is more feminine, bigger and symbolizes everything I love about
jewellery. The earrings I am sporting are huge but are not the least bit
heavy,” Jackie said. She added that she is not a person who follows
trends but goes for items which she is comfortable with.

“The jewellery are so wearable and extremely glamorous. I love
earrings since they are dainty. My favourite jewellery piece is a pearl
ring that was presented to me by Cassim some time back,” she noted with
a smile.
Celebrated award winning glam entrepreneur Otara Gunewardena joined
hands with CJS in 2009 to launch her jewellery collection ‘Otara’. She
presented Jackie with the first pieces from the new collection ‘Hoola’.
“The pieces are classic, cool and elegant and are designed in a
manner to stand apart from other collections,” Otara explained the key
features of the ‘Hoola’ range. |
