Choosing jewellery for a bride is a thoughtful gesture, but it can be difficult when you are unfamiliar with her personal style. Rather than guessing what she might like, it would be better to focus on designs that have stood the test of time, offer styling flexibility, and can become part of her wardrobe long after the wedding festivities are over. The value of such a gift lies in how naturally it fits into her life, rather than how elaborate it looks on the day. In an interview with HT Lifestyle, Jia Dholakia, head of design at Verlas, shared tips on how to pick jewellery for the bride.
Solitaire jewellery is equally versatile, allowing a single diamond to remain the focal point without making the overall design feel too ornate. These styles bring a sense of occasion while remaining relevant beyond the wedding season. The most successful gifts are often those the recipient can wear repeatedly. Studs and pendants are particularly useful in this regard.
“A round solitaire pendant or a pair of round diamond studs set in BIS-hallmarked 14K or 9K gold can be worn with Indian occasion wear, formal clothing and everyday outfits,” highlighted Dholakia.
