Oyzterbay, a new jewellery showroom on Commercial Street, is way beyond just an outlet. It's a fashion statement that promises to cause ripples in the city's fashion scenario. Their target, the youth; their designs, just out of this world. So refreshingly novel are their jewellery pieces that young people will find them irresistible. Oyzterbay has more than 1000 contemporary and classic designs to choose from and categorised in four ranges. The ranges-Neptune, Atlantis, Coral Reef and The Mermaid- are affordably priced between Rs 500 to Rs 5000.

Established in June 2000, Oyzterbay is headed by Vasant Nangia as Chief Executive Officer. The company is promoted by six Tanishq ex-employees, including Vasanth Nangia, with a collective experience of 50 years of retailing consumer brands, including jewellery, in both the national and international market.

The aim of the company, Nangia said, would be to promote Oyzterbay as a chain of stores for branded jewellery across the country. It will have its corporate office in Bangalore. Oyzterbay is also expected to tap the capital market with a public offering. The company said it "will mull an IPO as the industry was large and Oyzterbay wants to chart aggressive growth strategies.''

Among the 1000 designs, 80 per cent of them comprise pendants, earrings and finger rings and the rest consists of bracelets, neckwear and chains. The jewels are manufactured in a variety of materials like 24 kt, 22kt, and 18kt gold and sterling silver and are embellished with different kinds of natural gemstones.

Oyzterbay has its own in-house jewellery designers. Plans are on the anvil to open Oyzterbay showrooms in 11 other cities of the country, apart from Bangalore, by this year-end, Vasanth Nangia told bangalorebest.com. The company has it's own factory in Koramangala in the city.
