Hi guys, help a fellow bride-to-be! 😅

I’ve never really built a jewellery collection — I currently have just a couple of gold earrings and 2–3 rings. I’m getting married next year and am basically starting my bridal/everyday jewellery collection from scratch.

This is what I’m currently thinking of buying from my side:
1 antique gold choker + matching earrings
2 gold bangles kadas
1 small gold hoop for everyday wear
1 dainty gold bracelet for everyday use
1 small diamond drop earring
1 pair of small diamond studs
1 small diamond pendant + gold chain
1 diamond tennis necklace (budget around ₹4 lakh)
1 diamond tennis bracelet/bangle to match the necklace
1 pair of diamond earrings to go with the tennis set

For my wedding outfits and other functions, I’m also thinking of getting one or two polki/kundan/moissanite sets so I can have some more statement/bridal jewellery without spending a huge amount on everything.

I’ll also be receiving some jewellery from my in-laws, so I don’t want to unnecessarily duplicate things.

A few questions for those who have built their jewellery collections over time:
1.Does this seem like a sensible collection, or am I overbuying/underbuying something?
2.Is there anything you’d remove or add, especially something versatile enough to use after the wedding?
3.For the tennis necklace + bracelet, I’m considering 14K gold. Is that a good choice for everyday wear, durability, resale/value, etc.?
Since I’m starting from scratch, what jewellery pieces do you think are actually worth investing in versus things that sound nice but end up sitting unused?

Would really appreciate advice from anyone who has already built their bridal jewellery collection! ❤️

Hi!

My parents & my bf’s parents are planning to meet for the first time. Since we belong to different faiths, I’m a bit unsure what to take as gifts for the first meeting. How about some sweets, dry fruits & some home decor/dining thing? Is that okay? My parents feel instead of this perhaps some clothes 🤷🏼‍♀️

Also, gifts for all individually or perhaps something common?
