P latinum
is the buzzword in fashion circles. Inter Gold is the
first Platinum Counter in the city supported by the Platinum
Guild International. Diamonds, gold and platinum have
been combined dexterously at Inter Gold. And the outcome is
jewellery with flair and substance. Situated in Gem Plaza
on Infantry Road, the recently launched Inter Gold jewellery
showroom has ornaments to suit the tastes of both the younger
and older generation. There are contemporary as well as traditional
designs. Price wise also the ornaments are within a reasonable
range, between Rs 5,000 and Rs one lakh and above for each
ornament.
Inter Gold has ornaments in 18 and 22 carats. All
expensive jewellery and "spiritual ornaments" have
been made in 22 car at
gold. The showroom has also introduced Italian style design
jewellery. But the main attraction at the showroom is the
PGI (Platinum Guild International) certified platinum-diamond
jewellery.
Subahu Desai , In-charge, Inter Gold, Bangalore, told
bangalorebest.com that Inter-Gold is a joint venture
of B Arun Kumar Group, leaders in diamond exports and
Hammer and Sohne, the European leader in jewellery manufacturing.
The

Japan. The export turnover of the company is estimated to
reach Rs 1000 crores by this year end, Subahu Desai added.
Inter

chain of showrooms to 20 in the country," said Subahu
Desai. Inter Gold Group has been the leading exporter

At Inter Gold, at least 300 new designs are being added every
month. Modern methods are used in the manufacture of the ornaments.

in Hong Kong and Mumbai. It has two factories in Mumbai and
Goa. The company is introducing CAD/CAM designing and rapid
proto-typing processes for quick and precise model making.
The ornaments in multiple designs are displayed in crystal
clear glass showcases in the Bangalore showroom. The "Spiritual
range" section contains many designs on the Sri Krishna
