Neha, necklaces and prettiness :)

A dear friend Neha, asked me to click some of her pictures with the beautiful jewellery made by her cousin - Rachana. I jumped at the offer and got some really awesome shots. All of this prettiness was mostly because of the fantastic styling sense these 2 women had. Check them out... and yes, if any of you want to place an order for the jewellery pieces, do get in touch :)
