PIX: Zareen, Kalki, Hema shine on the ramp!

Here's a look at the best catwalk moments from Day Two of India International Jewellery Week.

Diamonds are a girl's best friend -- also gold, platinum, emeralds, sapphires...

And we got to see all of it on the second day of the IIJW, but that's not all that shone on the ramp! Check out the showings and celebs who helped make them special.

First up we have the funky, fabric-embellished pieces of Rosily Paul, whose collection was all about youth and vibrancy. Seen here is a matching set of stone and gold danglers and pendant.

A thing for purple

Not for the faint-hearted, this floral set saw red stones and diamonds against a fabric background of purple flowers.

Tie it on

Candice Pinto strikes a pose in a green fabric necklace with a gold and gem-studded pendant.

Ribbon reverie

Paul offers up another pendant on a sash of pink silk, this one adorned with gold mesh and delicate flowers.

Wearing the crown

Vasuki Sunkavalli, winner of the I Am She pageant who will represent India at the Miss Universe contest later this year, looked quite the beauty queen for Golecha's Jewels -- she wore a crown and emerald teardrop earrings.

Polki passion

The beauty of uncut polki diamonds came to the fore with this stunning cuff and multi-strand necklace, set off by a red maang tikka and armlet.

Flower power

Shruti Agarwal wears eye-searing emerald and ruby-dotted flowers along with earrings.

Tiara tantaliser

The I Am She Miss Asia-Pacific World India 2011 winner Tanvi Singla also catwalked for Golecha's Jewels in this dainty pearl tiara.

Twirling and whirling

Next up was the International Gemological Institute showing, with model Anjali Lavania taking the lead in this stunning, twirling set of diamonds and geometric wrist cuff.

Studded red

Studded with large rubies, a matching diamond wrist cuff and necklace have the desired effect without overkill.

Diamonds dazzle

This lace sari and glitzy diamond choker, complete with chandelier earrings, have a very bridal combined effect.

Peacock pretty

With its peacock motif, this gorgeous necklace is certainly a unique accessory if you want to stand out.

Simply splendid

Alesia Raut was first up for designer Divya Ahuja's Johara Jewels collection in this jaw-dropping contour neckpiece and danglers.

Iced effect

We can't make out the size of the stones on Shruti Agarwal's earrings and necklace, but it suffices to say they're totally iced!

Amazing drops

All eyes are on Deepti Gujral as she models a special leaf and drop-patterned necklace and earrings. Now that's class!

No room for more

Johara Jewels' showstopper was actress Zareen Khan, whose gigantic choker and earrings looked like they could suffocate someone if worn too tight! Talk about kingsize!

Scalloped stunner

Sanea Sheikh steps out in high-end pieces by ScintillatingTM Jewellery, studded all over with diamonds and emeralds.

Bouquet beauty

With the craftsman so exacting that each little flower stands out, you can't help but marvel at this gorgeous set.

Multi-hued reverie

Candice Pinto's jewellery and sari match to the tee, what with both reflecting an array of gorgeous colours.

Superb sprays

Wearing emerald-diamond sprays and a smile, Anchal Kumar is the epitome of timeless elegance.

Golden girl

Golden girl Hema Malini was the showstopper for Scintillating -- and indeed she was, dripping in diamonds yet!

Row upon row

Three rows of diamonds, delicate droplets in the ears and bangles had the Kays Jewels Pvt Ltd showing off to a great start.

Admiring glances

The model can't seem to take her eyes off her finery -- and we can't either!

With a flourish

Showing off her set and cocktail ring with a flourish we have Nethra Raghumaran.

Sparklers galore

Kalki Koechlin looks charming in her strands of pearls and uncut polkis, but it's that dazzling maang tikka that is the focal piece.

Gold rush

CVM Exports commenced their collection with traditional tantalisers such as these, modelled by Pia Trivedi.

Layer it on

An interplay of gold, rubies and polkis in three layers makes for an interesting and elegant mix.

Bold and bewitching

Posing in an intricate set of cutwork and precious stones we have Surelee Joseph.

Rock it up

With large individual diamonds coming together to create this distinct look, CVM Exports strikes it rich.

Heavy duty

And finally, actress Kajal Agarwal showstops in this heavy necklace and equally chunky earrings.
