Ganjam brings diamond display to Guards Polo Club

India’s oldest jeweller displays its collections at unique venue


 


Ganjam, India’s leading fine jeweller will be exhibiting six amazing collections in the Clubhouse at Guards Polo Club on Saturday, 27th June, during the Ganjam Jaipur Trophy Day. The collections on display include Spring in Platinum, Paisley, Heritage, Lace, Fire & Ice and Bandhan. Every piece of Ganjam jewellery is handmade and the standards of craftsmanship and design are recognised as amongst the very best in the world.

The Heritage collection is particularly interesting as it is made in the traditional way in 22 carat gold by craftsmen who sit cross legged, hand working the gold over a charcoal fire. The gemstones are set using the unique centuries old South Indian technique of Kundela Velai in which pure gold foil is pressed into place to reflect back the light and hold the stones in place.

Ganjam jewellery has received a multitude of awards in international competitions and commissions, from the World Gold Council, Platinum Guild International, Perles de Tahiti and De Beers. Ganjam jewellery is greatly sought after by international collectors, who usually have to visit their showrooms in Delhi, Bombay and Bangalore.

The Guards Polo Club display will be hosted by Mrs Aditi Chaudhuri, whose father-in-law, appropriately for this venue, was the first secretary of The Indian Polo Association. The Jaipur Trophy has been played at Guards Polo Club for many years and was donated to Guards Polo Club by the Rajmata of Jaipur in memory of her husband, the late Maharaja Man Singh of Jaipur, who was an enthusiastic polo player. The Rajmata is a frequent visitor to the Windsor Great Park-based club and historically attends this event to present her own trophy.

 After the first game for the Jaipur Trophy, Guards Polo Club will be hosting the Asia Cup, featuring a London team in action against a Polistas’ India Team. The Asia Cup is part of the international Celebrasian Festival which celebrates all that is best of Asian culture.
