Beyond jewels

Hyderabad recently shimmered with the allure of fine jewellery as Moi presented The Collectibles, a celebration of craft as a living expression of identity and belonging, at Theory of Everything. The collection draws inspiration from the rich craft traditions of Gujarat to create thoughtful, evocative pieces, spotlighting intricate beadwork. The special showcase titled A Time Traveller’s Keepsakes exuded understated luxury, drawing the city’s leading socialites and jewellery connoisseurs who turned up to celebrate artistry, heritage, and timeless designs.

Jolly old mixer

The end-of-year energy kicked off at Park Hyatt Hyderabad with their annual cake mixing ceremony. Spices, dry fruits, and spirits set up in a beautiful layout marked the beginning of a fun-filled communal evening. As guests donned their chef hats and aprons to start mixing, a fun twist was added — a hunt for three coins hidden on the table, representing prosperity. As the spirits poured, spices flowed, and guests began scouring for the coins, you could truly feel the Christmas spirit calling. And would an event ever truly end without indulgent bites and a delectable glass of wine?
