Manaal Fine Jewellery Unveils the Enchanting “Empress of the Reef” Collection in New Delhi
Aadhya Aggarwal’s Latest High-Art Collection Draws Inspiration from Nature’s Beauty, Fusing Elegance with Intricate Craftsmanship
Manaal Fine Jewellery, the luxury brand based in New Delhi and led by designer Aadhya Aggarwal, has launched its stunning new high-art collection, “Empress of the Reef.” Inspired by the interplay of light and shadow found in nature, the collection captures the serene intensity of coral reefs and the dramatic textures of landscapes like Arizona’s Wave formation.
The “Empress of the Reef” collection is a masterful fusion of contrast and elegance, featuring a rich color palette ranging from fiery oranges to deep blacks. Crafted using Japanese and Italian corals, black onyx, cultured pearls, black enamel, and a mix of full-cut and rose-cut diamonds, each piece reflects depth, movement, and visual poetry. Drawing on influences from coral structures, avian motion, and traditional Japanese motifs, the collection balances cultural richness with artistic precision.

“This collection is not just jewellery; it’s a meditative journey through nature’s mysteries—reefs, shadows, wings,” said Aadhya Aggarwal, Creative Director and Founder of Manaal Fine Jewellery. “It’s for those who see jewellery as an extension of their identity, blending serenity with strength and heritage with vision.”
Available exclusively at Manaal Fine Jewellery’s flagship boutique in Sunder Nagar Market, the “Empress of the Reef” collection continues the brand’s legacy of exceptional craftsmanship and cultural storytelling.

Bvlgari Debuts First Icons Minaudière Collection, Elevating Mini Bags to Collectible Art
Designed by Mary Katrantzou, these sculptural evening pieces reimagine the Roman maison’s iconic motifs with couture elegance.
Italian luxury house Bvlgari has unveiled its first-ever dedicated minaudière collection, marking a significant expansion of its evening accessories portfolio and underscoring the enduring appeal of mini bags in high fashion. Designed by Mary Katrantzou, the Icons Minaudière Collection transforms some of the brand’s most recognisable signatures—Serpenti, Monete, Tubogas, Divas’ Dream and Bvlgari Bvlgari—into exquisitely sculpted statement pieces.



Positioned at the intersection of jewellery and couture accessories, each minaudière is conceived as a collectible object rather than a purely functional bag. The designs showcase intricate detailing, refined finishes and artisanal techniques deeply rooted in Bvlgari’s Roman heritage, while presenting a contemporary interpretation of its iconic codes.



Available in limited quantities at select boutiques worldwide, the collection highlights exclusivity and craftsmanship, reinforcing Bvlgari’s commitment to artisanal excellence. The launch campaign features a diverse group of influential personalities, including Isabella Rossellini, Linda Evangelista, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Kim Ji-won and Sumayya Vally, celebrating themes of strength, transformation and individuality.
With the debut of the Icons Minaudière Collection, Bvlgari further cements the mini bag’s status as a lasting luxury statement—demonstrating that compact accessories can deliver significant cultural, artistic and design impact.
