Veteran actress Asha Parekh Stepped out ina soft pastel green saree , styled with an emerald and diamond high jewellery set from Birdhichand Ghanshyamdas , its striking centrepiece lending hertiage sparkle to an understated palette.
The Look
There is an ease to Asha Parekh's saree; a soft pistachio green worked over with fine ivory and silver floral embroidery that runs generously along the pallu and border. It is the kind of piece that feels made for someone who knows elegance rarely needs to shout.
The neckline stays clean and open, quietly making room for the jewellery to take over. Nothing here competes for attention, which is exactly why the emerald necklace lands the way it does.
The Brand Spotlight
The jewellery is by Birdhichand Ghanshyamdas, a hundred year old, family run jewellery house rooted in Rajasthan. The brand is known for retaining traditional craftsmanship values while translating them into a more contemporary design language.
Emeralds hold a special place in the house's design vocabulary, often paired with diamonds in necklaces and high jewellery pieces that balance colour with light and structure. Its design philosophy favours pieces built to speak through craftsmanship rather than scale alone.
The Jewellery Decode
The necklace is a clear centerpiece. A cushion cut emerald sits at the base of the throat, held tight within a diamond frame that keeps it visually separate from the rest of the piece, while the wider necklace fans out around the neckline in small floral clusters of diamonds, almost garland like in the way it curves and catches light
The earrings are kept deliberately simple, a pair of diamond studs that catch the light without adding another color to the mix. They stay quiet by design, letting the necklace hold the eye rather than competing with it.A small nose pin adds one last detail; a single emerald set close to the nostril that echoes the necklace's central stone in miniature. It is a subtle touch, but it ties the whole color story back to her face.
On her wrist sits a substantial diamond bracelet, its clean rows of stones interrupted by a single rectangular emerald that repeats the necklace's centerpiece in a smaller, more geometric form. It is the kind of piece that could easily stand alone, but here it simply continues the conversation the necklace started
A couple of rings complete the look, worn quietly rather than statement pieces. One carries a small colored stone, but neither competes with the necklace or bracelet; they read more as a finishing touch than a focal point.
Seen together, the jewellery works because it keeps returning to the same idea rather than introducing new ones. The saree pale green makes room for the emerald's deeper, richer tone to stand out, while the diamonds throughout add the light and movement that keeps the look from feeling static. It is also a direct expression of Birdhichand Ghanshyamdas' familiar vocabulary, emeralds framed by diamond florals, styled here with just enough restraint to let the craftsmanship speak for itself.
