A flawless balance of luxury, tradition, and glamour, Janhvi Kapoor truly made this design her own,” expresses Vinay Gupta, Founder & Creative Director of Shri Paramani Jewels
Khushi Kapoor in Jagat Jewels
“One of my favorite celebrity looks of 2024 is Khushi Kapoor at a recent wedding, where she wore a stunning pearl and diamond choker and earrings set. This exquisite ensemble perfectly embodies elegance and modern minimalism,” expresses Gursimran Singh Chadha, founder, Jagat Jewels.
Khushi’s gracefully draped Falguni Shane Peacock lehenga in soft pastels beautifully complemented the gleam of the pearls and diamonds, allowing her to shine without taking the spotlight from the bride. The choker, resting elegantly against her off-shoulder neckline, was a testament to understated luxury, enhancing her silhouette while exuding sophistication.
The delicate earrings framed her face beautifully, reflecting light with every movement, adding a luminous glow to her features. “This look illustrates how classic jewellery can effortlessly elevate an outfit, making it a standout choice for any formal occasion. Khushi Kapoor certainly set a trend for bridesmaids in 2024 with this timeless masterpiece,” adds Gursimran.

As a brand we don’t believe in a particular trend or style for the year as we are into classic luxury jewellery. For Alia Bhatt we created a big semi choker diamond set with ruby detailing.” The heirloom piece was bold and added a regal touch to Alia’s minimalistic Anamika Khanna lehenga set.
