I wanted to purchase a ring but I learnt that there is no discount on the purchase. So, I have taken the shop’s address so that I can buy the item from there itself,” she said.<br /><br />Meena Kumar, a housewife, found a much sought-after neckpiece at one of the stalls. “My search for a kundan neckpiece came to end today when I found this exotic piece in a stall from Jaipur. I can wear it with many saris as it has precious stones of various colours,” she said excitedly. <br /><br />There are daily contests, lucky dip contests and free seminars to make the exhibition more exciting and interesting. <br /><br />‘Best of India Jewellery Show’ is on till April 9 at Tripura Vasini, Palace Grounds. <br /></p>
