From bridal splendour that featured jadau, polki, karigari, minakari and uncut diamonds for the traditional woman, Vidhi also created some striking cocktail jewellery comprising diamond sets for formal evening wear.

Vidhi’s themes moved from Cocktail to the Gharana segment and then to Vintage and Allure for the four glittering entries. Moving into more antique inspirations Vidhi worked with jadau polki, uncut diamonds and pearls for a magnificent high collar that was edged with emeralds and rubies. The earrings and cuff continued the style of the neckpiece with its minute detailing.

Into a more vintage era, the Raani Haar, gold necklace, armlet, belt,earrings, maang tikka all had an old world charm with polkis giving the traditional jadau set a very regal royal look.

 

For the bride who wants to be a memorable beauty, the elaborate choker-cum-collar that spread out on the delicate shoulders of the model was unsurpassed in magnificent splendour. The jadau polka creation with matching earrings and bangles was studded with rubies and emeralds to highlight the golden metal.

The collection called “Kaia” started with adainty pair of diamond earrings in an alternate circular design. This was followed by a dramatic flat collar of diamonds and coloured stones matched with glittering cuff, bracelets and striking chandelier earrings. Emeralds and diamonds gave the lacey necklace and bangles a very elegant formal look and the final tree shaped earrings, neck piece of entwined diamonds/emeralds and the two thick kadas were pieces that women will treasure all their lives.
