Going back to its roots, heritage and legacy to craft opulence that celebrate the brand’s legacy
Shri Paramani Jewels, designed the opulent jewellery for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s magnum opus web series, Heeramandi. Sanjay Leela Bhansali, intrigued by their craftsmanship, collaborated and created stunning jewellery pieces adorned with precious Basra pearls.
Vinay Gupta, founder, Shri Paramani Jewels, speaks of going back to his roots to craft pieces that celebrate the brand’s legacy.
The expansive HEERAMANDI collection: three years of designing– an entire studio was dedicated to this labour of love, bringing back the artwork from over 200 years and presenting to the world 10,000 pieces of jewels.
Handcrafting jewellery for an epic wasn’t challenging, but the joy of going back to my roots, heritage and legacy of being from a family of treasurers for the Mughals over 200 years back, was the highlight.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali explored the collection, particularly captivated by the exquisite Basra pearls adorning pieces like the pasa, tika, nath and necklaces. Honouring the legacy of handcrafted Mughal jewellery with unparalleled passion, we beautifully captured the mysteries of history engulfed in an era of timeless heritage
Mughal jewellery history is rich and fascinating, showcasing exquisite craftsmanship and intricate designs. Mughal emperors were patrons of the arts and supported skilled artisans in creating elaborate jewellery pieces for themselves and their court.
Mughal jewellery featured a wide array of precious gemstones like diamonds, emeralds, rubies, and pearls, adding a luxurious touch to the pieces. Artisans employed innovative techniques like Kundan setting, filigree work, and enamel to create stunning patterns and textures on jewellery.
Mughal jewellery was considered a symbol of wealth and power by the royal family owning magnificent pieces passed down through generations. I discovered and celebrated the global influence the Mughal jewellery has left behind.
To be authentic to design, to the era and to the narrative. Each piece actually is made, designed and worn in the most authentic way, hence transporting you to the era.
Each delicately crafted necklace, meticulously layered alongside earrings and tikas, embodies a harmonious balance of elegance. Over a painstaking three-year period, we employed ancient handcraft techniques to meticulously create kilos of jewellery, reflecting our commitment to quality and precision reminiscent of centuries past.

What Happens When The World’s 0.03% Of Diamonds Meet 131 Pairs Of Masterful Hands At QWEEN?
QWEEN Brings Together Traceable Natural Diamonds, Japanese Craftsmanship and Precision-Led Jewellery Making Through Rosy Blue and Kashikey.
QWEEN, India’s first self-discovery, 100% natural experiential luxury jewellery brand, has detailed the strategic roles of Rosy Blue and Kashikey in powering its product proposition. Beyond being investors in the brand, Rosy Blue and Kashikey serve as QWEEN’s core supply-chain and craftsmanship partners, respectively, bringing together traceable access to 100% natural diamonds and nearly a century of Japanese craftsmanship expertise.
You know the diamond. But do you know its journey?
As QWEEN’s single strategic supply-chain partner, Rosy Blue brings over six decades of diamond expertise and sourcing capabilities to the brand. This partnership enables QWEEN’s Mine to Marvel™ initiative, allowing consumers to trace their diamonds back to their mine of origin.
At QWEEN, the story behind the stone is as important as the sparkle you see. And not every diamond makes it into a QWEEN. Only 0.03% of the world’s diamonds that enter QWEEN’s selection process meet its exacting standards.
Every QWEEN diamond is 100% natural and perfectly cut, meeting the Hearts & Arrows standard. At the QWEEN store, consumers can see that precision for themselves through specialised viewers.
“At Rosy Blue, we believe that trust must be established across the entire value chain. Our partnership with QWEEN brings together exceptional natural diamonds, greater traceability and consistent product standards, giving consumers greater visibility into the journey of their diamond and a clearer understanding of what makes it exceptional,” said Ms. Manali Jayant Parekh, Director, Rosy Blue.
But knowing the diamond is only half the story. What happens to it next matters just as much.
QWEEN’s strategic craftsmanship partner, Japanese luxury jewellery house Kashikey, brings nearly a century of jewellery-making expertise to the brand. Founded in 1928, Kashikey’s craftsmanship informs the construction, setting and finishing of QWEEN jewellery.
A QWEEN jewel is made by 131 pairs of masterful hands. From planning, cutting and polishing to setting and quality checks, every pair brings a decade or more of specialised expertise to the piece before it reaches the woman who wears it.
That attention to detail extends to the smallest elements of the jewellery. One example is QWEEN’s four-prong setting, which leaves more of the diamond visible than a conventional six-prong setting while keeping it securely held.
“For nearly a century, Kashikey has pursued beauty through precision, balance and attention to detail. Our partnership with QWEEN brings this approach to jewellery created for the modern Indian woman, where every element, from the setting to the finish, is considered to enhance the beauty of the diamond while preserving the integrity of the piece,” said Mr. Hisao Kato, Chairman, Kashikey Co. Ltd.
Amit Kumar, Co-founder and CEO, QWEEN said:

“For us, these partnerships go well beyond investment. Rosy Blue, as our single strategic supply-chain partner, gives us the ability to build traceability, consistency and rigorous selection standards into every QWEEN diamond, while Kashikey brings decades of craftsmanship and precision to how we turn those diamonds into jewellery. We wanted all of that to be part of the product itself, so women can see and understand what makes a QWEEN piece different.”
From knowing where the diamond came from to understanding how precisely it was cut and how carefully it was crafted, QWEEN is building a jewellery experience where trust is not just a promise. It is something you can see for yourself.
With Rosy Blue as its single strategic supply-chain partner and Kashikey as its strategic craftsmanship partner, QWEEN brings together diamond expertise, traceability and nearly a century of Japanese craftsmanship to set a new standard for the jewellery a woman chooses to wear.
