Pavé CZ Bridal Choker with Jhumka Earrings and Maang Tikka

A choker frames the face more closely than any other necklace, which is why it is the piece most brides are photographed in. This one is made to hold up to that attention: a broad collar paved edge to edge with small cubic zirconia, built in tiers that step down from the throat to the collarbone, with larger pear and oval stones set into the lowest tier so it catches light from every angle.

The choker

Rows of tiny stones are arranged in a pattern of interlocking arches, each arch enclosing a pear-shaped stone. The bottom edge is scalloped rather than straight, so the choker follows the line of the collarbone instead of cutting across it. It fastens with an adjustable back chain, so it can sit snug at the throat or slightly lower over a neckline.

The jhumkas

The earrings are long and built in three parts: a leaf-shaped crest of marquise stones, a framed pear drop, and a bell-shaped jhumka of baguette-cut stones below. They are the right length to be seen between the choker and the hairline, which is exactly where a choker leaves room for them.

The maang tikka

A round pavé medallion on a fine chain sits at the parting and completes the line from the forehead to the throat. It can be worn with the hair parted centrally or slightly to one side.

White or champagne

White is crisp and bright, in the manner of a classic diamond choker, and suits pastels, ivory and jewel tones alike. Champagne sets warm, honey-coloured stones into the larger settings, which softens the look and sits beautifully against gold, beige and blush. Both are finished in two tones — white around the stones and gold behind — which keeps the paving bright. Choose a swatch to see each.

Styling it

Because the choker carries so much light, it needs very little help. Wear the hair up or pinned back so the jhumkas can be seen in full, keep bangles to a slim pair, and skip a second necklace altogether. On a reception or engagement day the choker and jhumkas alone are enough; on the wedding day the tikka completes the bridal line. It also pairs well with an off-shoulder or sweetheart gown for a cocktail evening, where a single statement piece looks more considered than a full set.

How it is made

Plated brass, with every stone set by hand and held with prongs on all sides. The paving is dense, so the set is checked stone by stone before it is packed in a Keyura Luxe wooden presentation box.

Honest about materials

Cubic zirconia on plated brass — not natural diamonds or solid gold. It is made to photograph and to wear like a fine piece, and described exactly as what it is.

Caring for it

Plated jewellery keeps its colour longest when it is the last thing you put on and the first thing you take off. Let perfume, hairspray and lotion settle before wearing it, keep it away from water, and wipe it gently with a soft dry cloth after each wear. Store it flat in its box, away from other pieces, so stones cannot rub against the plating.
