In many cultures, jewellery isn’t just for accessorizing; it can be used to signify a pivotal moment in your life. It’s symbolic of those big life phases, family heritage or have evolved as treasured cultural heirlooms. For Suhani Garg, jewellery was always deeply personal and so she launched India’s first customizable jewellery brand, Nishani Studio. 

This Sunday, we’re speaking to Suhani so you can learn how to pick, style & mix jewellery to make the overall look as personal as possible. Jewellery is a personal statement and these tips from India’s queen of customisable jewellery is all you need to start your styling journey.

With our collections, you’ll find both delicate, minimal pieces and bold statement styles, often mixing different metal tones. This versatility is what sets Nishani apart. We’re not trying to define women or tell you what you should wear. Instead, we provide you with pieces you can mix, match, and style in your own unique way.

There are no strict rules about which piece is suited for which occasion. It’s all about how you choose to wear it- layered, stacked, or as a standalone statement.

I have a special fondness for our two-tone and asymmetrical pieces, especially in our ring collection. I also love pieces that break away from traditional symmetry, and our asymmetrical designs allow for creative expression without restrictions.

The two-tone pieces, in particular, are a personal favourite because they remove the dilemma of matching jewellery to outfits. You don’t have to choose between silver or gold- you can wear both, making styling effortless.

Experiment! Jewellery is meant to be playful and expressive. Try wearing a necklace as a bracelet or linking two necklaces to create a chain belt. The key is to explore different ways of styling and discover what resonates with you. Over time, you’ll develop a sense of what you love and how to make a statement that feels authentic. 

I also encourage investing in timeless, high-quality pieces that will remain staples in your wardrobe for years. Classic statement jewellery never goes out of style.

Growing up in Jaipur, a city steeped in culture, craftsmanship, and heritage, has profoundly shaped my creative outlook. Being surrounded by artisans and witnessing the intricacies of handcrafted textiles and jewellery instilled an appreciation for quality and craftsmanship in me from an early age.

At Nishani, we work closely with skilled artisans, ensuring our jewellery meets the highest standards. The expertise passed down through generations is reflected in the quality of our pieces, and it is something I take immense pride in.

More than anything, I want people to feel like the truest version of themselves. Jewellery should be empowering. It should make you feel confident, expressive, and unique.

What excites me most is seeing how our customers personalize their Nishani pieces. When they design their own combinations, they’re creating something entirely their own. That sense of individuality, knowing that no one else will wear the same piece makes Nishani jewellery not just an accessory but a personal statement.
