When the collection finally made its debut on the ramp, it was nothing short of a revelation. As the exquisite models sashayed down the ramp in amazing gowns by Gavin Miguel in shades of white, black and scarlet, complimenting perfectly the fabulous jewellery donned. Each piece was a testament to Rhea’s artistic eye and her deep understanding of how jewellery can transcend ornamentation to become wearable art. The designs spoke a universal language of beauty… modern yet timeless, bold yet intricate. The stones glimmered with an inner fire, set in designs that told stories of heritage and innovation in equal measure.
