The best diamond and gemstone pairings for discerning brides

A regal rendezvous we suggest liberally dousing yourself with

In collaboration with Kantilal Chhotalal

In the world of high jewellery, natural diamonds have often been revered as the gem for gestures. Celebrating a milestone? Diamonds symbolise strength, making them the ideal choice to honour your achievements. Planning a proposal? Nothing conveys your love more eloquently than the sparkle of a solitaire. Fancying a pick-me-up? Diamonds—in all forms and fashion—add a tinge of glamour to the everyday.

While popular opinion long held that these marvels of nature were best showcased solo, diamonds have evolved into more than just frost and finery. How so? Artisans are now intertwining beauty with beauty, incorporating coloured gemstones to infuse jewels with ease and personality. When set with diamonds, these vibrant design interventions create contemporary pieces that also stand the test of time—perfect for making a sartorial statement that reflects your unique style.

When it comes to weddings, a generous dose of bling is a no-brainer, and Kantilal Chhotalal is making a compelling case for why vibrant accents on jaw-dropping diamonds are becoming the most sought-after pairing for bridal jewellery in India. Discover the atelier’s distinct diamonds and gemstone jewellery offerings below—where colour, craftsmanship, and creativity take centre stage to redefine your bridal collection. 

Elevated emeralds 

 Effortlessly elegant and infinitely versatile, the pairing of diamonds and emeralds is a flawless formula for a dazzling bridal ensemble. This symphony of colour and brilliance has been treasured by royals and connoisseurs alike, proving how the two go together to create heirloom-quality jewellery. And capturing the cultural zeitgeist of today while being a talisman for tomorrow is the extravagant emerald collection offered by Kantilal Chhotalal. Emerald encrusted pendant necklaces, maangtikkas and jhumkas are classic choices to enhance your traditional outfits. For those looking to experiment with a mixed selection—think marquise and pear-shaped diamonds set with cushion-cut or teardrop emeralds—there are exquisite collar necklaces, rings, and bracelets to explore. 

Royal rubies 

Romantic. Bold. Passionate. The real driving force behind this colour is its ability to be equal parts sombre and whimsical. Embodying a quaint and vintage savoir-faire, rubies and diamonds allow you to channel iconic regency-era energy. Kantilal Chhotalal’s exquisite craftsmanship with this gemstone epitomises their innovative design ethos. Each piece, meticulously crafted, showcases the brand’s commitment to blending timeless beauty with cutting-edge style. Adorn them for the sangeet ceremony with your multi-hued lehenga, or uphold the tradition of wearing red for the pheras—the fine detailing and sophisticated allure of this pairing is sure to have you reigning as a showstopper.

Surreal natural yellow diamonds

For the modern-day jewellery enthusiast, yellow diamonds rank high as a trousseau treasure. Especially if you favour dainty and delicate jewellery, this is a gemstone that instantly elevates any ensemble with a soft, feminine touch. A multi-strand necklace pairs beautifully with pastel organzas, tissue sarees, and even brocade pantsuits for when you want to power dress for the festivities. Coming to your essential rings and bracelets, yellow diamonds, along with scattered round and pear-shaped white diamonds, offer an undeniably luxurious way to add warmth to any outfit. If you're a girl’s girl, this is your perfect jewellery match.
