Riya Sen

Riya Sen fascinated by jewellery designing


Gorgeous Riya Sen has developed a fascination for jewellery designing.
Ironically, Riya has never been interested in jewellery and she would often get bored whenever her mama Moon Moon Sen took her along to the jewelers for shopping. Even after she began her movie career, Riya never wore much jewellery except on very special occasions.
But recently while shooting with fashion photographer Suresh Natarajan for a jewellery campaign, Riya got very fascinated with designs.
Although she never had much inclination towards it, Riya decided to begin jewellery designing.
And her main inspiration is said to be her grandmother Suchitra Sen’s antique jewellery, which is still with their family.
Riya says she will refer to her dadi’s jewellery while creating her own designs, but that doesn’t mean that she will copy designs. She also adds that most of her designs will be of diamond jewellery, but quite reasonably priced.
She plans to begin with simple trinkets like earrings, pendants and bracelets. Later on she will move on to wedding jewellery.
Whenever Riya is not shooting for a movie nowadays, she sits on her laptop working on the designs.
Reports have it that Riya plans to launch her own line in association with Agni Jewellery later this year.
