Featured Jewellery Designs & Heirloom Makeovers
I have selected these pieces to show you what Maniraj Solitaire is all about. From reviving old family heirlooms to creating custom diamond rings, my focus is always on jewellery that tells your unique story.
This necklace holds a special place in my heart. A client brought me a piece she received for her wedding 11 years ago; it was beautiful but didn't feel like *her*. We worked together to redesign it, melting the old gold and adding her personal story. Now, it's a memory she is proud to wear every day. This is what I love to do: personalize stories, not just jewellery.
Don't let your old gold sit in a locker. So many of us have outdated or broken pieces with deep emotional value. I can help you melt and reuse that gold to create something fresh that fits your style today, like a minimal pendant or a new pair of earrings. The memories stay, but the look is all you.
Polki, Kundan, Meena. You've heard these words, but what do they really mean? I've broken it down for you in 30 seconds. Understanding these beautiful Indian jewellery traditions is the first step to buying smart and finding a piece you'll treasure.
This is what I call wearable art. An intricate diamond choker with delicate pearl drops, designed to sit perfectly and catch the light from every angle. This piece shows how traditional elements like pearls can be used in a modern, regal design that feels both timeless and fresh.
I love creating pieces that are both simple and striking. This open ring features two clusters of marquise diamonds on a clean gold band. It’s a modern statement piece that is comfortable enough for daily wear but special enough to make you feel extraordinary.
Jewellery is for everyone. Here is a look at a custom multi-layered pearl necklace with a traditional Polki brooch I designed for a groom. It's a classic piece that adds a touch of royalty and personality to any festive outfit.
Every piece of jewellery starts with a vision, but it comes to life through the hands of a skilled artisan. This is a glimpse into my Jaipur workshop, where traditional techniques are used to carefully set each stone and polish every detail. This is where the real magic happens.
About this collection
You might notice some of these pieces don't look like what you see in big showrooms, and that is intentional. When I design a custom ring or rework an old necklace, I am not just focused on the shine, but on the wearability and the structure. Whether it is choosing a bezel setting to prevent snagging on your clothes or melting your old 22k gold to add structural strength for a modern look, my goal is always to make sure you actually love wearing your jewellery every day.
Why Choose Custom-Made Jewellery?
Most jewellery stores sell what they want to sell. At Maniraj Solitaire, we create what you want to wear. Customisation allows you to control the design, the budget, and the emotional value of the piece. When you come to me with a sketch, a photo, or just an idea, we don't just 'make' it. We figure out how to make it comfortable, durable, and suited to your lifestyle.
The Heirloom Redesign Process
Many clients have gold sitting in lockers—outdated necklaces or wedding sets that carry memories but simply do not match their current style. I specialise in taking that gold, testing it for purity using XRF machines, and melting it down to craft something entirely new. We can turn a heavy, old-fashioned pendant into a minimal daily-wear piece or re-set those diamonds into a modern solitaire ring. You keep the emotional connection to your family's history, but you get a piece that looks fresh and feels like you.
Transparency as a Standard
I believe in buying smart, not just shiny. Whether you are looking for a diamond solitaire ring or a traditional Polki set, my process is completely transparent. You will receive a detailed invoice that breaks down the gold weight, diamond caratage, and labour costs. No hidden charges, no vague 'making charges'—just clarity.
If you are in Mumbai, you can visit my stores in Matunga or Borivali to see the craftsmanship firsthand. I want you to walk away not just with a piece of jewellery, but with the confidence that you made a wise, beautiful investment.
Maniraj Solitaire
I am Nidhi, and at Maniraj Solitaire, I believe jewellery should be as personal as the story behind it. I don't deal in mass-produced items; instead, I work with you to turn your inspiration or even your old family gold into something fresh, wearable, and uniquely yours.
