High Life Issue #4

HIGH LIFE #4 January 2017 111 Yet for all the stunning pieces Modi displayed at his Macau launch event, the undisputed queen of the evening was the Maharani emerald necklace – an emerald and diamond masterpiece reminiscent of opulent maharajah necklaces worn by Indian royals in the 19th and early 20th century. The three-strand necklace combines graduated emerald beads, weighs over 870 carats and is complemented by over 146 car- ats of oval shaped and pear shaped diamonds. Modi is aiming for 20 boutiques by 2020. He has conquered major capitals from New York to Hong Kong and London but understands the future lies in Asia. The independent jeweller, now 45, is taking the world by stormwith three impressive qualities – talent, persistence and innovation. Modi 于澳门开幕礼上展示的惊人作品中，无可争 议的焦点是 Maharani 翡翠项链，一件无与伦比的翡翠 和钻石杰作。这条独一无二的项链传承印度皇室成员 于19世纪和20世纪初佩戴的华丽大君项链之精神。三 串项链由逐渐变小的翡翠珠组成，总重量逾870克拉， 并另外镶嵌逾146克拉的椭圆形和梨形钻石。 Modi 计划到2020年开设20间专门店。他已经征服 了纽约、香港和伦敦等国际都会，但他清楚，未来属 于亚洲。现年45岁的这位独立珠宝商正凭借天赋、坚 持和创新精神，在全球掀起一阵风暴。
