In the past, Raveen Dadlani has partnered with Cedella Marley and the Tuff Gong family to help fund the dream of the Reggae Girlz under his Island Trinketz brand. Today the Montego Bay businessman is at it again, this time unveiling his Tesori Brands.

Renown as one of the fastest growing contemporary sterling silver jeweller in the region, Dadlani opened his first in 40 ‘By Tesori’ jewellery stores at Whitter Village in Rose Hall recently, in what has been described as a “swanky affair”.

He opened his first store in 2013, entering the market with a line of products that included rings, earrings, necklaces, and a signature charm bracelet collection.

At the opening, the astute businessman also launched the Tuff Gong Jewelry Collection, a line of sterling silver pieces done in collaboration with Marley.

The fabulous event attracted a veritable representation of corporate Montego Bay and jewellery enthusiasts looking to acquire pieces from the different lines.

Speaking during the launch, Dadlani, who has taken on the title of creative and managing director, emphasised that the opening represented the first of a five-year expansion plan that will see the brand opening 40 stores over the period.

With the formalities over, including the symbolic cutting of the ribbon, guests had the opportunity to view items from the different lines supplied under the brand, such as Attitude by Tesori, Island Trinketz, and Tuff Gong Collection.

In between browsing and picking up pieces, guests sipped on Tesori-Coladas and Tuff Gong Punch, special cocktails made to reflect the light, crisp feel of the event.
