In an age where savvy consumers demand responsibly sourced diamonds, there is one name that has stood out among the crowd for over a decade – Forevermark, the diamond brand from De Beers. Never before had the journey of diamonds from mine to market been so well documented. Forevermark revolutionised the concept of selling diamond jewellery; each of its diamonds is carefully selected and inscribed with a unique identification number for authenticity. Over the years, Forevermark has collaborated with India’s top design houses to create magnificent red carpet collections. In this issue, budding actress Toranj Kayvon adorns some gorgeous creations sparkling with Forevermark diamonds in the Cover Feature.

A Canadian of Persian descent, Toranj has shot several brilliant editorial features for Adorn and is a new entrant into Bollywood. She will be seen in the film Kesari, due to release in March. It has been a noteworthy journey for Toranj who came to the city of dreams to become a fashion photographer. Seven years down the line, she has proved her mettle and has shone like a rare diamond.
