The new-age bride-to-be references the past, but adds a fresh spin by opting for heavily detailed 22-karat gold jewellery that is handcrafted with ancient techniques and adorned with uncut diamonds and rubies. Paired with exclusive and trendy ensembles that reflect her high style, she proves that she is a trend-setter in the true sense of the word – her chutzpah and swish demeanour tell all.
