Ritu Joon, a Bengaluru resident, spotted a stunning golden bangle resting on woman's wrist, during her during a metro ride. She couldn't srop herself from asking the woman’s permission to snap a photo of the design to replicate it at a goldsmith. Instead of just posing, the stranger slipped off the bangle and handed it over to Ritu, explaining it would help the artisan see details better. Ritu was stunned by the gesture, and the woman then smiled, revealing it was artificial jewelry, not real gold.
