The Art of Shine, Reimagined

YFLO Kolkata, under the leadership of chairperson Ankita Chitlangia, hosted a stylish afternoon featuring Tryyst, a Dubai-based fine jewellery brand, to showcase its collection at the multi-designer store Bombaim. This session is a part of the urban skilling initiative focused on empowering women by providing them with the tools, training, and mentorship to build employable skills and foster self-reliance. 

Members enjoyed an engaging tête-à-tête between Pooja Javeri Shah and Ruchi Kanoi, moderated by Anjali, followed by an informative Q&A and high tea. Pooja Javeri Shah, the founder of Tryyst, comes from a legacy of fine jewellery but began her journey in fashion and luxury retail. Her vision blends craftsmanship with sentiment, reimagining fine jewellery as personal and wearable. 

Richa Kanoi, a Boston University graduate, found her niche in design and entrepreneurship, launching Bombaim as a platform for emerging talent. With over 16 years in the industry, she has collaborated with leading designers and continues to champion design through Bombaim’s Kala Ghoda space and Good Earth’s Calcutta franchise. 

Key Topics Covered

  • Investment Insight into how diamonds today are more about emotion than resale.
  • Conversations about evolving buyers and modern consumers valuing design, ethics, and individuality.

Impact And Outcome 

A total of 55 members joined this urban skilling session and learned about the future of fine jewellery and conscious luxury. It supported women entrepreneurs by providing them knowledge to set up their own fine jewellery brand.
