Designing to dazzle

NOW, IT is a contest for gold.

A jewellery design contest has been organised by Vummidi Bangaru Jewellers for girl students between 18 and 25 years of age.

Says Mr. Jithendra Vummidi, a certified diamond grader: the objective of the contest is two-pronged - to identify and give an opportunity to the local talent and promote ``our new and exclusive showroom for gold and diamond jewellery at the Rani Seethai Hall.''

The eye-catching feature of the contest is the naming of the winning jewellery designs after their creator, besides attractive prizes starting with jewellery worth Rs.10,000 for the best. Why girls and that too in the specified age group? ``This age group has ideas that would make a fashion statement.''

The last date for applying to the contest ``of ideas and not of sketching skills'' is December 20. The contest to be held on December 25.
