But on Friday afternoon,wedding talk was put on the backburner — she evaded all questions regarding her marriage. Instead,it was all about baubles for Jade as she launched her latest jewellery line at Mumbai’s fashion and home concept store Le Mill. The store’s co-owner Cecilia Morelli-Parikh hosted a lunch and not surprisingly,a select crowd turned up to congratulate the jewellery designer.

Among those who were seen appreciating Jade’s work were model and actor Lisa Haydon,socialite Natasha Poonawalla and Laila Lamba,designer Haseena Jethmalani and food critic Rashmi Uday Singh.

One of her designs that drew maximum attention used rudraksha beads in liberal quantities,interpreted as symbolising Jade’s love for India.

“I have been working in India for many years. I started out with my beaded accessories in Delhi. Now,I also buy my gems from Jaipur. Moreover,I am lucky to have the most beautiful studio in the world (in Goa),where I can create my designs with an incredible view of the ocean,” she said. The latest collection is a mix of her precious jewellery range called the ‘Disco Diamonds’ line,the classic rudraksha range and the ‘Skull Duggery’ collection,that she is most famous for.

When asked about her target audience,she emphasised that her art had no boundaries. “I design for everyone as I want my jewellery pieces to be accessible to all men and women,” she noted.
