Mahesh Notandass Jewellers Showcases Exquisite Creations at the Louvre in Paris
The Mumbai-based fine jewellery house represents Indian craftsmanship at the prestigious Sino-French Design and Art Exhibition.
Indian fine jewellery house Mahesh Notandass Jewellers, based in Mumbai, presented its exquisite creations at the Sino-French Design and Art Exhibition, held at the iconic Louvre Museum in Paris.
Hosted at the Carrousel du Louvre, the exhibition brings together global artists and designers under one roof to celebrate the dialogue between fashion, art, and culture. Jointly supported by the French Ministry of Culture, the Chinese Embassy in France, and the Chinese People’s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries, the event represents a flagship initiative of Sino-French cultural exchange, curated under the theme “Revitalizing Heritage, Technology-Driven Innovation, and Fashion Crossover.”
Representing India’s artistry on this international stage, Vandana M Jagwani, creative director at Mahesh Notandass Jewellers, unveiled a collection that transcends adornment to become wearable art.
Each design reflects the brand’s signature philosophy — timeless craftsmanship reimagined through contemporary expression. Emeralds, rose-cut and round diamonds, and 18-karat gold come together to evoke strength, femininity, and fluid motion.

“Jewellery has always been more than ornamentation,” shares Vandana M Jagwani. “It’s an extension of identity, a form of storytelling. To see our work displayed at the Louvre — among such incredible global artists — is deeply humbling and a proud moment for Indian craftsmanship.”

BIS Introduces The Silver Refinery Certification Scheme; Framework Introduces “India Good Delivery For Silver”
Buyers, Institutional Investors, and Jewelers Are Guaranteed Strict Adherence To Exact Quality, Testing, and Traceability Standards. Silver From Any BIS-Approved Refinery Ensures A Verified Fineness and Purity
The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has officially prioritized the domestic bullion sector by introducing the Silver Refinery Certification Scheme, that involved critical inputs and efforts by IBJA.
Mirroring the long-established certification ecosystem for gold, this framework introduces a structured “India Good Delivery for Silver” standard specifically tailored for silver bars and coins.
Buyers, institutional investors, and jewelers are guaranteed strict adherence to exact quality, testing, and traceability standards. Silver from any BIS-approved refinery ensures a verified fineness and purity.
Surendra Mehta, National Secretary- IBJA, said:

“BIS is introducing the Silver Refinery Certification Scheme, an initiative that involved critical inputs and efforts by IBJA. Mirroring the long-established certification ecosystem for gold, this framework introduces a structured India Good Delivery for Silver. Now, silver from any BIS-approved refinery ensures a verified fineness and purity. This will gradually end the impure silver bar market.”
Market structures have already evolved alongside this rollout. The Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) aligned its exchange delivery protocols to accept BIS-standard domestic silver, allowing empanelled Indian refiners to fulfill physical delivery contracts directly on the exchange.
By formalizing the local refining of silver (including silver recovered as a by-product of gold dore), this scheme strengthens the domestic precious metals ecosystem in line with Aatmanirbhar Bharat objectives
