Eclipse Bracelet from ‘Stefan Hafner’ wins two awards at prestigious
Las Vegas Couture Fair

Mumbai, June 8, 2012: A dazzling ‘Eclipse Bracelet’ from the luxury Italian jewellery brand Stefan Hafner has won two awards at the recently held Couture Fair in Las Vegas. The bracelet won the second prize in two categories: ‘Diamonds over S20k’ and ‘People’s Choice’. The latter award is based on votes given by US retailers.

The design competition is one of the most prestigious events in the US for high-end jewellery brands.

The stunning bracelet is a unique piece of jewellery with a contemporary look. It wraps the wrist with seduction and a sense of wonder. Studded with 47.48 cts of sparkling diamonds, its skillfully crafted woven look matches the elusive softness of a cloud.

This is the 2^nd year that Stefan Hafner pieces have been won honours at this prestigious international platform.

A leading Italian jewellery brand known both for its design flair and technical finesses, Stefan Hafner is owned by Gitanjali Group, the world’s largest integrated branded jewellery manufacturer-retailer. The brand was acquired by Gitanjali in 2011, along with four other well known Italian jewellery brands.
