Jewellery Designer Creates Film Trophy

Well-known jewellery designer Varuna D Jani has added another feather in her cap – she will be designing and crafting the coveted award trophies for winning films and filmmakers at the 16th MAMI (Mumbai Academy of Moving Image) festival currently being held in the Mumbai at PVR Cinemas in Andheri, Cinemax, Versova and Chandan Cinemas in Juhu.

This is the  first time that a jewellery designer is creating the trophies. “The trophy plaque is crystal with a gold and silver plated Phoenix (the emblem of MAMI) which is an enduring allegorical symbol, symbolizing rebirth, renewal or uniqueness,” a statement from the designer said. “At the threshold of the trophy is the designer’s logo with two real diamond drops placed on the tips of the V wing on each side completing the symmetry of the design.”

Overwhelmed by this unique assignment, designer and adornologist, Varuna D Jani said, “It is an honour and a privilege to have received this opportunity to design this prestigious trophy for MAMI. I was very excited and inspired to create and design the trophy. I hope I have imbibed in it the pride and the prestige that is associated with this magnificent festival.”
