The PlatAfrica Jewellery Awards 2015 | FULL INTERVIEW

Jewellery is always invested with a human story and before we even wear it, it tells the tale of the designers who created it. Every year these talents are recognized at the PlatAfrica Jewellery Awards, and Top Billing was there to experience all the glitzy action.

This year's muse was India, which is the worlds’ second-largest platinum jewellery market. The brief to design students was jewellery for the bridal couple - simple, yet meaningful and modern, yet respectful of tradition.

This awards this year also commissioned the Magnificent Seven, top South African designers, to create collections for the Indian bride of the future.

But who were this year's winners? You'll have to tune in and see.
