Here's a first look at the best catwalk moments from Day One of India International Jewellery Week.

The second edition of the India International Jewellery Week got off to a great start on July 31 in Mumbai.

High-end jewellers put up dazzling displays of diamonds, gold and gems with several celebrities and well-known models taking to the ramp. Take a look.

The renowned Gitanjali Group kicked things off officially, with a star (and bling!) studded showing from their label Giantti.

Gitanjali tied up with the Beti campaign against female foeticide, so a lot of mother-daughter duos took to the ramp to pledge their support.

But first, flying solo we have the lovely Sonam Kapoor draped in a simple powder-blue sari and strings of pearls. Classic!

Riya Sen was also minus mother Moon Moon but managed to look as alluring as ever in a green sari and precious necklace.
