Manish Malhotra made a significant shift in the Indian bridal couture with the debut of his innovative High Jewellery line.
Malhotra presented the unique concept of a “Diamond Bride,” for the first in the Indian wedding industry. Manish Malhotra High Jewellery was launched on 14th June 2023. The line exclusively highlights the brilliance of diamonds and thus embodies his progressive approach to creating an unparalleled bridal experience. He previously introduced the Polki line in 2019 and since then the acclaimed designer continues his journey to redefine the paradigms of heirloom pieces. This line expertly blends classic designs with modern elegance, marking the transition from fabric-based couture to the radiant world of high jewellery.
Manish Malhotra said, “I embarked on the path of jewellery inspired by the historical richness and intrinsic appeal of Polkis, which served as a beautiful testament to our storied heritage. Now, we venture into the realm of natural diamonds which craft modern heirlooms tailored to the sensibilities of today’s brides.”
The Collection
The innovative High Jewellery line presents diamonds in a variety of enchanting cuts, like Brilliant, Rose, and Victorian.
As a testament to Manish Malhotra’s boundary-defying approach, his High Jewellery line integrates natural stones of premium quality. This includes striking Zambian, Russian emeralds and Mozambique rubies. Interestingly, the natural inclusions and crevices of these coloured stones are retained, to signifying their natural origin. This also enhances their unique, natural charm. Natural South Sea pearls complement these gems, merging traditional essence with modern style.
Furthermore, each piece is certified by the International Gemological Institute (IGI) lab, assuring patrons of their purchase’s absolute quality and integrity.
Shifting Perspectives
Recently, Manish Malhotra made headlines with the new collection for showcasing an exclusive piece designed especially for actress Kiara Advani’s wedding. This all-diamond ensemble set a new trend in the Indian market. It also represented a pivotal moment in bridal jewellery. Kiara Advani’s stunning wedding jewellery marked a departure from traditional designs, enhancing the timeless power of diamonds.
Manish Malhotra’s High Jewellery line celebrates love, beauty, and the eternal charm of diamonds. This momentous shift has captured the attention of industry insiders. It also redefined the perception of bridal heirlooms, heralding a new era of luxury in the Indian bridal landscape. In addition, it offers a truly captivating experience for discerning jewellery connoisseurs seeking collectors’ pieces.
