So treat this as a triple feature; Mawi + Prarthna Singh + the young, contemporary, independent urban Indian woman (much like Lesly) whom we are celebrating today. Mawi Kievom churns out more incredible newfangled statement jewellery with each collection and while I have seen it grace many covers and editorials, there is something so 'in the flesh' about this potrait series by Prarthna. It has an undeniable real quality to it,  as though it could have just as easily been me in every picture. Solid women, solid jewellery.
On that note - Happy Independence Day, folks! :)
