Brides Today: What is your earliest memory of jewellery?

BT: What kind of jewellery pieces do you enjoy wearing the most to weddings?

SS: “I consider heritage pieces to be the most gorgeous addition to any wedding look. I’ve always been inclined towards timeless jewellery, weddings or otherwise. I don’t experiment a lot with my jewellery. Once in a while, I will buy a piece that is truly out-there, but they, more often that not, lie in my locker or I may gift them to someone. My style gravitates towards classic pieces, and those I know I’ll wear often.”
