Whether you are looking for your first 18K daily wear piece or planning a custom Polki set, everything I offer is built on 100% transparent pricing and clear BIS hallmarking, so you know exactly what you are paying for before you commit. I started Maniraj Solitaire with one mission: to strip away the confusion that surrounds buying jewellery. We hear so much about carats, making charges, and diamond purity that it often stops people from buying something they love. My 'Decoding Jewellery' approach is all about clarity. You deserve to know the breakdown of your bill—gold weight, stone cost, and making charges—before you decide. I work with real gold and natural diamonds, ensuring every single piece has that crucial BIS hallmark to guarantee its quality. My work ranges from minimalist 14K daily wear pieces that fit a budget of ₹10,000 to intricate, handcrafted Polki bridal sets made using traditional techniques. I also have a passion for remodelling old family heirlooms. If you have gold sitting in a locker, I can help you melt and transform it into a modern, wearable piece that keeps the emotional value intact while giving it a fresh life. I am based in Mumbai, with stores in Borivali West and Matunga East. If you are ready to shop smart, I am here to walk you through the process, explain the technicals, and find a piece that truly feels like you. ## About Maniraj Solitaire I'm Nidhi, and I'm here to change how you look at jewellery. At Maniraj, we don't just sell pieces; we help you understand what you're actually buying. From your first 10,000 rupee pendant to remodelling old family heirlooms, I'm with you every step of the way.
