These are the modern heirlooms that your jewellery collection called for

A woman never forgets her first-the gold band that was her first-ever fine jewellery buy, that Basra pearl cuff that kicked off her trousseau shopping expedition, the solitaire studs to mark her first anniversary or the polki ring to celebrate her first promotion Perfect pairings: "Contemporary designs make it easy to dress pista-coloured jewellery up or down.

Pistachio and polki studs can be worn with a white shirt, a chikankari kurta and a Benarasi weave alike A pista-coloured choker with polki, South Sea pearls and natural coloured stones with matching jhumkis and maang tikka is the perfect contrast to bridal red." Vietnamese golden pearls, diamonds and keshi pearls set in 18k gold chandbalis, Moksh - Fine Unseen Jewels Founder and CEO of Moksh - Fine Unseen Jewels, Milan Chokshi makes a strong case for a pearl jewellery redux, featuring keshi pearls.

"We play with a mix of uniquely shaped pearls, uneven keshi pearls, button pearls and cultured pearls in designs that are never repeated It takes an average of 10-12 weeks to create one piece Our Taantvi collection uses an intricate technique of weaving small Japanese keshi pearls to create a mesh-like effect.

Paired with gemstones, they can go from everyday occasions to bridal soirées." Collector's edition: Moksh's jewellery consultant, Rajvi Chokshi, recommends micro pearls in natural shapes paired with coloured gemstones, and investing in the label's signature lariats The necklace includes a variety of pearls mixed with baguette, rose-cut and mixed-shape diamonds. .
