Some Diamonds Are Just Too Good to Keep to Yourself
Meet five future-proof diamond jewellery silhouettes to make yours this Diwali. Wearing them on repeat is encouraged; passing them down can wait.
Diwali is the best time to dress up, bring out your favourite jewellery and perhaps add something new to your collection. But what if your next diamond purchase was destined to become a family favourite, too?
From solitaire studs and tennis bracelets to statement brooches and diamond bangles, some pieces have a way of becoming part of your story. They’re the ones you reach for year after year, wear to every celebration and eventually pass down to someone you love. This Diwali, we’re making a case for five diamond jewellery silhouettes you’ll want to wear now, keep forever and perhaps turn into tomorrow’s family heirlooms.
Put A Pin On It
If the red carpets have taught us anything this year, it’s that brooches are having a moment. Spotted on some of the biggest names, this once-traditional accessory has found its way back into contemporary wardrobes.
And Diwali is the perfect occasion to give it a try. A diamond brooch can do more than elevate an outfit. Pin a diamond and emerald brooch onto a silk sari for an unexpected detail or use it to hold a creative drape in place. Years later, the very same piece could find its way onto a safa at a family wedding. One piece, plenty of ways to wear it.

A Game Of Solitaire
For many of us, our earliest memories of diamonds involve our grandmothers or mothers who rarely took off their favourite solitaire studs. The kind of earrings that became so much a part of their look, you couldn’t imagine seeing them without.
This season, purchase a piece that feels most you – a solitaire diamond earring is high on our list when it comes to fine jewellery investments, and the festival of lights makes a perfect occasion to cop a pair. Over the years, the classic round silhouette has diversified into several modern iterations that can feel more aligned with your personality – you can swap yellow gold for subtler rose gold finishes like the princess cut studs by Diamond Tree or celebrate your inner romantic with a pair of heart-shaped solitaire earrings as seen at Kisna. Don’t underestimate the sparkle and joy these simplistic pieces offer—they can be worn now and forever.

Uncut Gems
There’s something about Polki diamonds that makes them feel a little different. With their uncut surfaces and distinctive character, they bring a sense of history to even the most contemporary looks.
Today, this time-endured heirloom can be sported in multiple ways to best highlight your personal style. A single line polki necklace lined with natural diamonds is the ideal choice for the minimalist. Mark the debut of this understated piece at Diwali, its timeless design allows you to sport it beyond festive occasions, a true heirloom to be borrowed and celebrated by all. Don it to accessorise the neckline of a monochromatic slip dress for a casual at-home affair or let it gently spotlight an embroidered jacket for a night of dancing. The best part? You can layer it with your chunkier fine diamond jewellery at the next family wedding.

A trusted companion like your favourite pair of jeans, this no-brainer piece looks great to finish off a festive stack and lends an understated appeal to your daily tank top as well.

Circle Of Sparkle
Diamond bangles may have been a staple in family jewellery boxes for generations, but today’s designs are anything but predictable. Think sculptural cuffs, architectural shapes and unexpected pops of colour that feel just as at home with a cocktail dress as they do with a sari.
Consider a piece that will offer you maximum wear as you choose from an array of contemporary cuts. The Diamond Domain cuff by Amaris is a statement piece that promises many compliments; its bold chunky frame is replete with rows of round diamonds culminating with a shield-cut Zambian emerald. Equally stunning is the art deco inspired bangle from Zoya peppered with baguette diamonds and set in gold – ideal for draped cocktail dresses and chiffon saris alike. Slowly but surely this once traditional silhouette is now designed in edgy iterations that will serve you well at weddings and luxurious vacations alike.
