Highlights from the curated edit included the White Quartz Briolette Earrings, featuring 3-carat pear-shaped earrings with white quartz briolettes that reveal remarkable precision through their fluid cuts, designed to move effortlessly with light.
Adding depth to the styling were statement rings including the Ceylon Sapphire Oval Ring, where an 8-carat oval Ceylon sapphire reveals ocean-blue depth, encircled by brilliant round diamonds that sharpen its colour and fire. The look also featured the Pear-Shaped Ceylon Sapphire Ring, showcasing 8.8 carats of Ceylon sapphire, reminiscent of a falling raindrop, revealing remarkable depth and clarity.
Completing the look was the Pear-Shaped Diamond Pendant, a 4-carat pear-shaped diamond suspended in perfect balance, its elongated form creating a refined stream of light.

Bollywood Meets Business Legacy: Ranbir Kapoor Praises PNG Jewellers Chairman’s Raw New Memoir, Choosing Gold
An Avid Reader Of Real-Life Stories, Ranbir Kapoor Calls Choosing Gold “Rare” For How It Treats Failure, Not As A Footnote, But As The Making Of An Instinct
Stories of resilience from business leaders often inspire individuals across all walks of life, and this time, it was Bollywood superstar Ranbir Kapoor who shared his appreciation for the profound insights in Choosing Gold, the debut memoir of Dr. Saurabh Gadgil, Chairman and Managing Director of PNG Jewellers, when presented with a copy by the author recently.
Released nationally by Penguin Random House India, Choosing Gold traces the mindset that built the 194-year-old legacy of PNG Jewellers and that of its Chairman and Managing Director, Dr. Saurabh Gadgil. During their interaction, Ranbir Kapoor revealed he was excited to dive deep into the book after being drawn to its premise, praising its raw reflection on legacy, choices, tough decisions, learnings from failures and overcoming setbacks. Ranbir is an avid reader and appreciates real life stories and autobiographies.
Dr. Saurabh Gadgil, CMD of PNG Jewellers, said:
“Writing Choosing Gold meant resisting the temptation to rewrite my past with the clarity I only have now. I wanted the honesty of what I actually knew and felt in each moment, not the polished version hindsight gives you. Sharing this book with Ranbir led me to have one of the more meaningful conversations I’ve had about the book. We come from very different worlds, but the weight of legacy, and the discomfort of choosing the harder path, turned out to be something we both recognized in each other’s lives.
If even one reader finishes this book and makes their next difficult decision with a little more courage, I’ll consider it to have done its job.”
Sharing his thoughts about the book, Ranbir Kapoor said:
“I love reading autobiographies and real-life stories, because the best ones don’t just tell you what someone achieved, they show you what it cost them and what they were willing to risk. Choosing Gold caught my attention immediately, and the title says it all: this isn’t a story about one big break, it’s about a series of hard, deliberate choices made again and again, often against the safer option. What struck me most is how Saurabh writes about failure, not as a footnote before the success, but as something that actually shaped his instincts. That’s rare in this genre.
Building a legacy like his isn’t about a single moment of vision; it’s about the discipline to keep choosing the harder path when an easier one is right there. That mindset is what makes this book worth reading, whether or not you’re in business at all.”
Choosing Gold offers a candid look into leadership and resilience beyond balance sheets. Formally celebrated at an exclusive Mumbai event featuring actor Madhuri Dixit, the memoir is available across PNG Jewellers stores, pngjewellers.com, Amazon, and leading bookstores nationwide. Ranbir Kapoor and Madhuri Dixit, both are brand ambassadors for PNG Jewellers.
