Queenie Singh & Vikram Phadnis
Glamour, grandeur, and nostalgia defined an evening where fashion and fine jewellery met on one unforgettable runway. TheGlitz reports…
It was a night that celebrated artistry, legacy, and the enduring power of collaboration as Jewels by Queenie, the luxury fine jewellery brand by Queenie Singh, took centre stage at Vikram Phadnis’s 35-year celebration show at JW Marriott, Juhu. Against the opulent backdrop of couture, Queenie’s creations illuminated the runway with a brilliance that was equal parts modern glamour and timeless elegance.
The evening brought together not only fashion and jewellery but also three-and-a-half decades of friendship. With a bond that stretches back over 30 years, Queenie Singh and Vikram Phadnis share more than just a creative synergy — they share history, admiration, and a mutual commitment to craftsmanship. This collaboration, therefore, wasn’t just about pairing couture with jewellery; it was a celebration of legacy, artistry, and evolution.
Jewels by Queenie and Vikram Phadnis: A Regal Emblem of Grandeur
The showstopper moment came when Salman Khan graced the runway, wearing a spectacular Gold T Sword Brooch, a regal figure crafted in gold and accented with emeralds, diamonds, and rubies. The piece was not merely jewellery — it was a statement, a reflection of grandeur and refined taste, encapsulating Queenie’s ability to transform accessories into heirlooms of modern royalty.
Each design from the Jewels by Queenie x Vikram Phadnis collection spoke of this same sensibility. From sculptural necklaces that caught the light with fluid brilliance to floral diamond cuffs and bow-inspired bracelets that shimmered with contemporary glamour, the collection was a testament to Queenie’s distinct design language: bold yet graceful, intricate yet effortless.
The Friendship Behind the Craft
For Queenie Singh, this collaboration was deeply personal. Reflecting on the experience, she shared:
“Vikram and I have been friends for thirty-five years, and I’ve always admired his dedication, discipline, and creative brilliance. When the opportunity arose to be part of his 35-year celebration, it felt truly special. This collection was designed to complement his vision, a meeting point of couture and jewellery where confidence, femininity, and glamour come together.”
It is this shared love and respect that lent the evening its emotional resonance. What could have been a simple collaboration became a narrative of loyalty and evolution… two creative forces celebrating each other’s artistry while paying homage to the past and looking toward the future.
Couture Meets Craftsmanship
On the runway, Queenie’s jewellery merged seamlessly with Vikram’s couture silhouettes. Together, they created a visual symphony that elevated both fashion and fine jewellery, allowing each piece to tell its own story while complementing the other. The audience witnessed not just a fashion show, but an immersive experience where couture became a canvas and jewellery became the final stroke of artistry.
The synergy was magnetic. Mumbai’s fashion, film, and business luminaries gathered to witness this extraordinary celebration. Among the glittering guest list were Sonakshi Sinha, Esha Deol, Amrita Arora, Mini Mathur, Deanne Pandey, Anushka Ranjan, Akanksha Ranjan, Karishma Tanna, Alvira Agnihotri, Parul Gulati, Kaykasshan Patel, Gaitri Khanna, and Krishika Lulla, each adorned in exquisite Jewels by Queenie creations, adding their own sparkle to the soirée.

The Lasting Sparkle
The Jewels by Queenie x Vikram Phadnis showcase was more than a glittering spectacle. It was a celebration of individuality, empowerment, and timeless beauty, rooted in a friendship that has stood the test of time.
As Salman Khan’s brooch glimmered under the runway lights and the city’s luminaries sparkled in bespoke creations, it became clear: this was not just about jewellery or couture. It was about legacy, artistry, and the enduring glamour of two creative worlds colliding.
In a night where couture met craftsmanship, Jewels by Queenie didn’t just accessorize the runway, it defined it!
