Here's a look at the celebrities who've graced the runway on days One and Two of India International Jewellery Week 2013, currently underway in Mumbai.

Each year, the biggest names in Indian jewellery come together to showcase their finely crafted pieces at India International Jewellery Week.

In the following pages we bring you highlights from the first two days of the 2013 showings, scheduled to last from August 5 to August 8, featuring stars and of course, plenty of bling.

We start off with Once Upon A Time In Mumbai Dobaara co-stars Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi Sinha, who stepped out together to promote both their forthcoming movie and jewellery by Gitanjali. While Akshay sported a gangster-style gold chain and pathani, Sonakshi was a vision in matching diamond earrings and a necklace teamed with a purple gown.
