Fashion and food get into the spotlight when Colombo Jewellery Stores showcases its newly launched Hometown Collection at HSBC Colombo Fashion Week, while celebrating its signature 92nd anniversary with a unique promotion at Spoons at the Hilton Colombo.
‘All That Glitters’ at Spoons will feature South African award winning Celebrity Chef Jodi-Ann Pearton whipping up epicurean glamour with surprise gifts of shimmering CJS rings for some lucky diners. The epicurean excitement is to be indulged in on any day between 6 and 8 February at Spoons.
With the CJS anniversary falling on 6 February and coinciding with HSBC Colombo Fashion Week, CJS will be showcasing the beautifully crafted elegance of the Hometown Collection on the CFW ramp. The lustrous hues of the Hometown Collection’s necklaces, rings and bracelets in glistening pearls, sparkling diamonds, glittering amethysts, bewitching emeralds and colourful gems will be seen on the ramp on 7 February.
Chairman of CJS Akram Cassim throws in more glamour to the Hometown Collection saying: “For the first time in any collection, at CFW this year, we are launching trendy new ear cuffs into the Hometown Collection, designed specifically for the ladies with individual fashion flair.”
The Hometown Collection is all about classic sophistication intertwining contemporary elegance. It evokes the historic persona of Galle, the quaint cobblestone streets, architectural magnificence and unusual vignettes that give this city its unique personality. It is this cleverly woven tale of jewellery into history that prompted CJS Brand Ambassador, award winning Bollywood Actress Jacqueline Fernandez to enthuse: “The Hometown Collection is vintage but quite contemporary and I love that they retain that feel of Sri Lanka. These designs are wearable in any period, then or now.”
Jodi-Ann, whose culinary expertise has seen her prepare gourmet delights for the rich and famous including the likes of Macaulay Culkin and Johnny Depp, is renowned in Celebrity Cheffing the world over. Her prowess in the kitchen therefore is the ideal marriage to the style and sophistication that CJS espouses in the designer jewellery arena.
