Pallavi Dudeja Foley designs collections for her own jewellery brand, Pallavi Foley. She has also won many awards by creating jewellery for prestigious projects.

She won the Bright Sparks Diamond Jewelry Design Competition, by DE BEERS in 2000 while she was a student at NIFT [The National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT) in New Delhi, India].

Another project was the Gold Virtuosi 2002. Pallavi Foley was selected amongst the 100 finalists internationally, for designing an ensemble inspired by animal fur. This piece was handcrafted and captured the beauty of animal fur in gold, with due respect towards saving the wild life on our earth. Made from 22k gold "fur", the design included a neckpiece, a stole, anklets and ear studs, weighing approximately 1.5 kg. It took almost 2 months to manufacture.

The Odyssey

This jewellery piece designed by Pallavi Foley (modeling her jewelry) was amongst 11 award-winning entries short listed as a result of the national competition [Diamonds 2004, Vivaha Collection].

"The Odyssey", is made of 4908 diamonds. It has a combination of a variety of diamond cuts, shapes and colors. It also uses black diamonds, enhancing the contrast between the two sides of the neckwear. The Odyssey is a description about the evolution of a person, through ups and downs in life, finally emerging beautifully -- just like the journey of a diamond.
