A GORGEOUS pink kunzite pendant set in white gold and diamonds, designed in the shape of a bumble bee, a rare 100-year-old Victorian pearl necklace set in yellow gold and white diamonds and a dragonfly brooch set in a spray of moonstones are just some of the rare and exquisite pieces of jewellery that are available for sale at the Malaysia International Jewellery Fair 2009 (MIJF) exhibition taking place at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre until tomorrow.

Some 200 booths by both local and foreign traders and jewellers are showcasing some of the finest and one-of-a-kind pieces at the exhibition.

The exhibition, which was launched by the Raja Perempuan Perlis Tuanku Tengku Fauziah Tengku Abdul Rashid on Thursday, also attracted celebrities like jazz queen Datuk Sheila Majid and Malaysian model Amber Chia. They added a touch of glitz and glamour to the event.
