Everyone still has their opinions on the Kohinoor. I get it. It’s not possible to find it back in India. You need to figure out what else you could get your hands on. There is plenty of beautiful jewelry available, whether it is street-style, which we love, or high-end brands that you have to wait for some paychecks before buying. We love our jewelry, and luxury and expensive pieces are the best for special occasions, weddings, investments, and other occasions. You won’t find anything else that will work. Although the prices are high, you cannot put a price on quality. Here’s our selection of the top jewelry brands in India.

You can also expect them to make ace gold jewelry. Malabar Gold & Diamonds may be the place for those looking for the most elegant pieces. Although the brand has a lot of trendy options, we recommend Malabar Gold & Diamonds for their traditional designs, temple jewelry, and even if your goal is to purchase loose diamonds and have them custom-make your rings, earrings, or necklaces.

The best thing about them is that they feature real brides and are not just an advertisement.
