Now, add some diamonds to your shopping list.

Classically timeless jewels are your best friends no doubt. For instance, Chopard’s For You collection embodies elegance. Dainty creations inspired by springtime and pretty cherry blossoms sparkle through necklaces, earrings, single rings adorned with pear-shaped diamonds and sparkling corolla. 

The Tulip solitaire ring by Nirav Modi draws upon the beauty of the tulip flower. An ancient declaration of love, the tulip is said to symbolize passion and grace. The soft contours of the flower have inspired the tapered setting for this brilliant-cut solitaire ring.

Non-traditional pieces too can help you walk the fine line between classic and contemporary. Spinelli Kilcollin shows the way with its newly-launched Wedding Collection rings. Inspired by the musician poet Orpheus, who is said to have charmed all living things and stones with his music, this Orpheus ring by Spinelli Kilcollin features a conflict-free diamond hidden on the inside of the band.

Be it a statement diamond necklace from Graff and tiara from Cartier or minimalistic diamond jewels from Messika’s Joy collection, wear what matches your style and gown.
