What comes after you’ve successfully built a meticulous collection of fail-safe jewellery classics? A second round of investment jewellery hunting, of course. These modern heirlooms are favoured and vetted by industry experts.
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. Jewellery, there is no denying, is a woman’s most cherished love story. She spends years per-fecting a well-honed collection of time-honoured favourites, just like her mother and grandmother did before her. But once the classics have been conquered and the long-run investments added to the safe, it’s time to layer your personal jewellery collection with an army of new-age heroes that strike that balance between timeless and trendy. Not sure where to begin? We bring you intel straight from the source.
