O Womaniya : Gotta Go Gorgeous to be forever gorgeous...

Hey my lovelies.... 

Thanks so much for showing your love to the new series. I am not so frequent in blogging these days and there are tons of product reviews which are pending. But trust me guys, I am trying to finish backlog asap.. 

Last Wednesday, I started off with a new series... titled
'O Womaniya'.... 
but from this week, it will go live on Tuesdays. 
This series will be introducing such women, who, using social networking, are not just promoting handicrafts, handlooms, jewellery etc., but also becoming those small entrepreneurs whose initiatives are being appreciated. 

After your love on the first, here is the second edition on "O Womaniya" : 
an initiative by the beautiful Dipti Chavan, very aptly called 

'Gotta Go Gorgeous'. 






From Dipti's pen.... 






How did “Gotta Go Gorgeous” begin?



"Gotta Go Gorgeous was born out of my passion for designing jewellery & accessories. I believe that this was passed on to me by my mother. As a child, I have seen my mother making small simple pearl and beaded necklaces and somehow that always intrigued me but I never really explored it much until a few years ago." 



The beautiful Dipti Chavan.... 


"I was a big time fashion/imitation jewellery hoarder and would also make jewellery from the basic DIY Jewellery kits that my sister used to get for me from the USA. Since those kits are not easily available in the Indian markets I started searching for the raw material here and once I figured it out I started designing and making jewellery on my own. Although the idea of a Facebook store emerged much earlier, it was only after much thought and after having gathered all the resources that I decided to take the plunge… 


“Gotta Go Gorgeous – Jewellery & Accessories” e-store started off on 15th September, 2013 as a Facebook Page/Store dealing in handcrafted jewellery and gradually extending to non-handcrafted jewellery. Although the idea of a Facebook store was mine it is only because of my mother’s rock solid support that my dream was realised. Thanks to my wonderful mom for standing by me…."

When the Facebook Page was launched…. 

"I was excited but very nervous as to how this venture would be received by people when there was no dearth of similar options available in the market. But I was taken by surprise when the Facebook page received its first 100 likes in less than 24 hours and the orders followed… That was really motivating… all thanks to my Facebook blogger friends for their love and support.... " 



What is the kind of collection being offered by Gotta Go Gorgeous...?

Handcrafted Collection: 

It mostly involves pearls, crystals, beads and ceramic jewellery. 


Beautiful leaf inspired statement neckpiece.


Some more pieces from the collection... 


The very in fashion statement neck pieces...


Non-Handcrafted Collection: 



Extending the collection further, the non-handcrafted collection was launched. This includes both Fashion and ethnic/traditional Jewellery.

2 months later ….

“Gotta Go Gorgeous” was also launched on other marketplaces like Craftsvilla, Xarato, High5Store but the focus was still the Facebook store.

5 months down the line….

Taking a step further “Gotta Go Gorgeous – Jewellery & Accessories” will now be a fully functional website… an e-store…. “www.shop.gottagogorgeous.com”. The website will go live by the end of this week….. Yayyyyy!!!!!



Below are some of the most loved pieces from the Non-handcrafted Collection





Plans for the future 

Designing and bringing in more handcrafted collection, like fabric, wired and paper quilled jewellery. I also plan to bring in handcrafted jewellery designed by local artisans and women support groups or NGOs. There would be a separate section exclusively for this and the idea behind this is to give them a platform to exhibit their creations and to reach a wider audience. Although, still in the planning stage this is something I am really looking forward to. (If you know of any such support groups do let me know about it) 

Although with some stumbling blocks and obstacles the journey so far has been really wonderful and the future looks promising. J 

Every purchase from a customer brings a smile, but, it is when someone appreciates and purchases the handcrafted pieces… that is where the real joy and satisfaction lies…. :D


Lovely polki and Ramleela inspired earrings....
