In the heart of Pakistan’s capital Islamabad, elegance has many faces—serenity in its green belts, quiet dignity in its architecture, and growing chic sophistication in its arts and fashion. Among its iconic luxury destinations stands Zewar Jewellers, a name that suggests sparkle, precision, and timeless style. For connoisseurs who want more than just jewellery—who want a story, craftsmanship, and prestige—Zewar offers something special. This article delves deep into how Zewar is redefining luxury in diamond necklaces, rings, and earrings, what makes their offerings unique, what to look for, trends, care, and investment, and how to select pieces that speak to both heart and legacy.
1. Opening the Doors to Luxury: What Zewar Jewellers Represents
Zewar Jewellers isn’t just a showroom. It’s a sanctuary for design lovers, an atelier for meticulous craftsmanship, and a trusted institution in Islamabad’s luxury landscape. Here’s what sets them apart:
- Heritage and reputation: Many customers choose Zewar because it has built a reputation for consistency—of delivering what is promised in terms of craftsmanship, material purity, stone quality, and service.
- Assortment & range: Whether it’s a dainty diamond pendant that can be worn every day, a statement necklace for bridal wear, or earrings that draw attention to the face, their collection spans the full spectrum—from understated elegance to opulent glitz.
- Focus on stones and settings: It’s not just about the aesthetic; it’s about engineering light. Their pieces pay close attention to cut, clarity, brilliance, and how the setting amplifies or showcases the diamond’s sparkle.
- Personal service and customization: For someone buying a diamond piece—it often isn’t a routine purchase. Zewar provides consultation, design input, and often custom work: matching bespoke designs, personal motifs, or family heirlooms.
2. The Big Three: Necklaces, Rings & Earrings — Where Luxury Speaks Loudest
Let’s look separately at why necklaces, rings, and earrings are focal points of luxury jewellery, and how Zewar elevates each category.
2.1 Diamond Necklaces: The Statement of the Neck
Necklaces are powerful. They rest at the center of visibility when someone meets you—drawing eyes upward to the face. They have the capacity to be subtle elegance or full‑on grandeur.
Types & Styles
- Solitaire Pendants: Single diamond hanging from a delicate chain. Classic, elegant, and perfect for daily wear or layering.
- Halo Pendants / Necklaces: A center stone surrounded by smaller diamonds that enhance total sparkle.
- Tennis Necklaces / Diamond Lines: Continuous or semi‑continuous rows of diamonds, often uniform, providing a line of brilliance around the collar.
- Collar & Choker Neckpieces: Wider, more showy pieces, often used for bridal wear or formal events. These may include additional design elements (motifs, filigree, or mixed stones).
- Multi‑layered & Bib Styles: Layers of chains, multiple tiers of diamonds or combined with other gemstones or pearls for dramatic effect.
What Luxury Means in a Diamond Necklace
- Cut quality and alignment: A well‑cut center stone must reflect light optimally; smaller accent stones need matching cuts so the necklace doesn’t “dip” in brilliance.
- Metal choice and finish: 18k or 22k gold, white gold, or platinum with perfect polish. Hidden clasps or neat closures that don’t spoil the seamless look.
- Comfort and wearability: Particularly for heavier pieces — balance so it sits well, doesn’t pull, weight is distributed.
- Attention to detail: Back finishes, the way stones are set on reverse side, the interplay of light through spaces—these matter for luxury.
2.2 Diamond Rings: The Personal Signature
A ring is deeply personal—engagement, anniversary, achievement, or simply self‑gift. Zewar’s collection in rings is about combining aesthetic beauty with wearability and significance.
Key Ring Styles
- Solitaire Rings: Single prominent stone. Simple prong or bezel settings.
- Halo Rings: Central stone surrounded by a “halo” of smaller diamonds, which amplifies its size appearance.
- Three‑stone Rings: Symbolic often (past, present, future), combining one large stone with two side stones of complementary shape.
- Eternity Bands: Diamonds encircle the band (full or half), symbolizing eternity.
- Statement / Cocktail Rings: Larger designs, possibly with multiple shapes, colors, or layering. Worn for special events.
What Zewar Does to Raise the Standard in Rings
- Precise stone matching (for side stones) so that color & clarity are consistent.
- Strong, secure settings — prongs that won’t loosen, protect the stone, reduce risk of snagging.
- Comfort fit interiors—rounded or polished inside so rings feel smooth.
- Flexibility in design: allowing for personalization (engraving, special shapes, or custom design elements) without compromising structural integrity.
2.3 Diamond Earrings: Framing the Face
Earrings are perhaps the first thing others notice (assuming hair is pulled back). They can frame the face, draw attention to eyes, and complement hairstyle. Zewar’s earrings collection is likely extensive in form and finish.
Styles
- Studs: Classic, everyday. Single diamond or cluster, for subtle elegance.
- Hoops: Can be diamond‑lined or accented, bold or understated depending on size.
- Drops / Dangles: More movement, more light catch—often used in evenings or special events.
- Chandeliers: Dramatic, luxurious, often combining diamonds with other gemstones.
- Ear Cuffs / Climbers: Trendier styles now, sometimes used to complement multiple piercings.
Luxury Features
- Matching pair symmetry: Not just match in size, but color tone, sparkle, setting.
- Secure backings / closures: Especially for heavier earrings—screw backs or sturdy push backs that feel safe.
- Light play: Movement allowed; design that allows light to reach facets.
- Finishing and comfort: No rough edges; smooth behind‑the‑ear areas; comfort when wearing for long hours.
3. Under the Surface: Stones, Metals, Certification
Luxury isn’t just what shows—it’s often what doesn’t show.
3.1 Diamond Quality: The 4 Cs
- Cut: Not same as shape. A brilliant cut will reflect light well; cut proportion, symmetry, polish are fundamental.
- Clarity: Level of inclusions (internal) or blemishes (external). VS, VVS, IF clearances are expensive but very valuable.
- Colour: For white diamonds, closer to colourless grades (D, E, F) are more prized; slight colour may be less visible in certain settings.
- Carat Weight: Bigger is more expensive, but the price jumps disproportionately as carat increases. Also, bigger stones more noticeable if colour/clarity/cut are inferior.
3.2 Metals & Finishes
- 18k gold vs 22k gold vs platinum vs white gold etc. Each has properties: durability, weight, hypo‑allergenic qualities.
- Platings or rhodium finish on white gold to keep it shiny. Polishing and ensuring that settings are strong.
- If mixed metals are used (rose gold, yellow, white), transitions should be smooth and stable.
3.3 Certification & Trust
- Certifications from recognized labs (GIA, IGI, etc.) for high‑value pieces.
- Hallmarking of gold or platinum.
- Warranty and repair/refinishing policies.
- Proof of ethical sourcing (if possible), especially with modern customers caring about sustainability.
4. Trends in Islamabad & How Zewar Responds
Luxury evolves. Islamabad jewellery buyers are increasingly sophisticated, informed, and wanting pieces that align with both global trends and local sensibilities.
4.1 What Islamabad Loves Now
- Minimalism meets sparkle: People want dainty jewellery they can also wear daily, but with brilliant sparkle. Simple pendants, slim bands, small studs.
- Halo and vintage touches: Halo settings, filigree work, floral motifs—heritage designs with a modern twist.
- Mixed metals: Combinations of yellow, white, rose gold for versatility.
- Statement pieces for bridal: Big necklaces, chandeliers earrings, full bridal sets. But even bridal consumers are asking for lighter weight or comfort so they can enjoy wearing them.
- Custom & Personal: Initials, motifs, heritage elements (like pattern work inspired by Mughal or regional architecture).
- Ethical and Lab‑grown: Growing interest in lab‑grown diamonds or certified diamonds with traceable sourcing.
4.2 How Zewar is / Could be Positioned for These Trends
- Providing both high‑end fully certified pieces AND lighter everyday luxury items so customers can choose.
- Offering custom design for bridal wear, matching necklaces & earrings sets, even coordinating with dresses and wedding themes.
- Experimenting with mixing of gemstones and diamonds (e.g., diamond + emerald, ruby) for colour contrast.
- Emphasizing after‑sales services: cleaning, polishing, adjusting, ensuring settings remain tight over time.
- Perhaps exploring lab‑diamond lines or at least transparency in sourcing to meet ethical concerns.

5. Buying Luxury: What to Look for, What to Ask, What to Budget
To make sure your purchase from Zewar Jewellers is as satisfying as it is beautiful, here are detailed buyer tips.
5.1 Before You Go: Planning
- Set a budget range, but be open to adjusting based on quality and design. A slight increase in clarity or cut often yields more visible reward than a large increase in carat.
- Collect inspiration: photos of necklaces, rings, earrings you like—this helps in communication.
- Know your lifestyle: if you always wear your jewellery, tough settings and comfort become more important than just show.
5.2 In the Showroom
- Inspect under different lighting: showroom lights often enhance sparkle; see piece in daylight or under white light to judge true colour and brilliance.
- Ask about certificate & return policy: Make sure any large stone (especially over certain carats) has a certificate. Understand the policy if you find something later you don’t like.
- Check settings, prongs, metal weight: Especially prongs for rings/earrings. Bent or low prongs can risk losing a stone.
- Try for feel: How does a ring feel when bending finger? Does a necklace weight bother you? Are earrings heavy?
- Negotiate or ask for perks: Sometimes you may get cleaning, polishing, free chains, or even discounts for set purchases (necklace + earrings) or repeat customers.
5.3 After the Purchase
- Keep the certificate and receipt.
- Maintain the jewellery: clean properly (gentle soap, soft cloth), check settings regularly.
- Store separately (especially diamond pieces) so they don’t scratch other softer stones.
- Insure high‑value pieces or keep them documented for resale or heritage transfer.
6. Investment & Emotional Value
Luxury is not just financial; it’s emotional, symbolic, and sometimes generational.
- Diamond jewellery often retains value, especially from reputable jewellers, with certification and good condition.
- Many pieces become heirlooms: bridal sets, engagement rings, earrings passed down. Their sentimental value often exceeds monetary.
- Trends may shift, but classic pieces (solitaires, halo pendants, simple studs) often remain stylish years later. Choosing something that feels timeless increases long‑term satisfaction.
- Also, luxury buys can reflect self‑achievement, success, celebration—so the “feel” part matters.
7. Potential Challenges & How to Navigate Them
While buying diamond luxury is wonderful, there are pitfalls. Here’s how to avoid common problems.
- Overpaying for branding vs value: Sometimes the markup is for name rather than stone quality. Ask about the specifications, see the certificate.
- Colour and clarity differences that are subtle but visible: Slight colour tints or inclusions might be more visible in certain settings or outside showroom lights.
- Fake or misrepresentative certifications: Make sure you understand the lab name, verifiability, that the certificate matches the stone being sold.
- Wear & tear: Diamonds are hard, but settings, metals, prongs can wear. Frequent use means checking often.
- Weight vs Comfort: Statement pieces are heavy; comfort is often overlooked. A bridal set, especially necklace + earrings + tikka + bajuband etc., may weigh you down—test wear it.
- Locking in gold/diamond rates: Metal rates fluctuate a lot in Pakistan; often price depends on current gold rate. For custom designs, ensure clarity about price adjustments.
8. Real or Hypothetical Examples: How Luxury Gets Defined
To bring the concept closer to life, here are two sample scenarios of clients, their requirements, and how Zewar could exceed expectations for them.
Example 1: The Bridal Grandeur
Client: Amina, getting married in Islamabad, wants a bridal set: necklace, earrings, maang‑tikka, and a ring. She wants something that looks magnificent in photos, but that isn’t so heavy that she’ll struggle wearing it for hours. She values traditional design (floral motifs, Mughal style) and also wants diamonds that sparkle strongly under daylight.
How Zewar Might Deliver:
- She visits showroom, sees various bridal sets. Picks a necklace with a central floral cluster, diamond petals, accent stones of emerald for colour. Earrings and maang tikka mirrored motifs.
- To reduce weight, some parts of necklace are open work (filigree), some parts left with smaller stones rather than large slabs.
- Cuts chosen for side accent stones are matched so under flash photography or daylight, the sparkle is consistent. Center stones are VS clarity, colour near colourless.
- Metal is 22k yellow gold with some white gold/diamond settings to highlight stones.
- Certificate provided for major stones. Fitting and clasp design such that necklace sits well. Free polishing after wedding included.
Outcome: She gets the visual impact she wants, comfort to wear, value that retains, and emotional delight. A piece she can later repurpose or use parts of for future events.
Example 2: Everyday Elegance, Subtle Luxury
Client: Farah, a professional, wants a diamond ring and earrings she can wear with both formal office wear and evening events. She doesn’t want something loud, but something that communicates quality when people notice up close.
Focus Items:
- Ring: A solitaire of ~0.5 carat (or slightly less), excellent cut (very brilliant), prong setting maybe in white gold so that the stone stands out. Comfortable band, maybe slightly tapered.
- Earrings: Small studs or tiny halo studs—diamond centre with small accent stones. Secure backings.
What Zewar Should Offer:
- Show under different lightings, ensure sparkle.
- Emphasize cut & clarity rather than chasing carat. A well cut smaller stone often looks more brilliant than a bigger stone with poor cut.
- Metal finishing (polishing) so the setting complements the diamond.
- Warranty or free cleaning after a period.
Result: Elegant pieces that Farah can wear daily or to events; subtle enough not to be showy in everyday use but unmistakably luxurious up close.
9. Where Zewar Jewellers Could Further Sharpen the Luxe Edge
To remain at the top in Islamabad’s luxury jewellery market, here are possible strategies (some perhaps already in effect) for Zewar to consider:
- Lab‑grown / Ethical Diamond Line: Offering good options with lab diamonds (which can mimic or even surpass natural in purity/cut) may attract younger or ethically concerned buyers.
- Limited‑Edition / Signature Collections: Working with designers to produce limited pieces that are identifiable as “Zewar signature” could enhance brand prestige.
- Virtual Try‑Ons & 3D Previews: Helping the buyer see how the ring or necklace looks on them (especially for expensive purchases) via AR, video renders, etc.
- Workshops / Insider Events: Invite loyal customers to see how stones are cut, settings made, to give transparency and deepen brand trust.
- After‑sales Excellence: Services like complimentary annual cleaning, checks for prong tightness, insurance or repair programs.
- Transparency in Pricing & Sourcing: Displaying cut/clarity/color info prominently, perhaps sourcing details, to increase customer confidence.

Q&A — Your Questions, Answered
Here are common questions that buyers often have about purchasing luxury diamond jewellery, especially from Zewar Jewellers Islamabad. These can help clarify before you make a decision.
Q1: What is the approximate price range for diamond necklaces, rings, and earrings at Zewar?
A: Prices depend heavily on stone quality (cut, clarity, color, carat), metal used, design complexity, and brand margin. Here’s a rough guide (note: subject to change based on gold/diamond market):
| Type | Typical Lower‑End Luxury | Mid‑Tier Luxury | High / Bridal / Statement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Solitaires / Everyday Studs & Simple Pendants | Moderate carat (0.3‑0.7), VS‑SI clarity, simpler settings. | Larger stones, halo accents, better metals (18k white/yellow gold, maybe small side diamonds) | High carat center stones (1 carat+), intricate work, possibly platinum, full sets etc. |
| Necklaces / Chokers / Statement Pieces | Smaller accent stones, lighter weight, simpler chain work. | More diamonds, more intricate patterns, better craftsmanship. | Bridal chokers, heavy collar necklaces, multi‑tier designs, full diamond lines, rare stones. |
| Rings (Engagement / Statement) | Simple solitaire, minimal side stones, comfort fit. | Halo or three‑stone designs, better clarity, better setting. | Big carats, high clarity, custom designs, matching wedding band sets. |
To get specific numbers, you’ll need to visit Zewar showroom or request their catalogue; expect high‑end pieces to run into hundreds of thousands to millions of rupees depending on size and design.
Q2: How can I verify the quality of a diamond (especially in terms of cut, clarity, color) when buying at Zewar?
A: Here’s how:
- Ask for the certificate: If the piece has significant value, ask which gemological lab authenticated it (IGI, GIA etc.).
- Inspect under natural light & daylight plus artificial: You’ll see differences—look for sparkle, fire, whether inclusions are visible.
- Check cutting proportions: Proportions (depth, table, symmetry) matter—cutting that’s off reduces brilliance. You may not measure precisely in showroom, but the diamond should “look alive” – sparkle, not dull.
- Observe how the stone reacts to light movement: Better cuts will show reflections and light movement even in modest light.
- Compare stones side by side: If possible, see two similar carat stones with different clarity or colour to see difference and decide what trade‑offs are acceptable.
Q3: What metal should I choose, and what are pros & cons?
A: Common choices:
- Yellow Gold (18k / 22k): Traditional, warm tone, often preferred in bridal jewellery; good for cultural and colour matching. But yellow gold can show scratches more easily.
- White Gold / Platinum: Offers a cooler, more modern look; makes white diamonds appear whiter. Platinum is more durable, heavy, more expensive. White gold is less expensive but may require rhodium re‑plating over time to maintain its sheen.
- Mixed Metals: Combining yellow and white gold can give contrast; rose gold gives warm tones with modern feel. Be aware, pieces with mixed metals sometimes need more care because different metals wear differently.
Q4: Are custom designs expensive, and how long do they take?
A: Custom work generally costs more for several reasons:
- Designing (sketches, approval stages) adds labor.
- Sourcing specific stones or matching existing stones (size, cut, clarity) may require extra procurement work.
- Craftsmanship for unique settings may be more involved / time‑consuming.
Time varies: simple custom modifications (e.g., changing metal colour, selecting stone shape) may take 1‑2 weeks; more complex pieces (heavy necklace, bridal set, unique motifs) may take 3‑6 weeks or more, depending on order backlog and stone availability. Always ask the jeweller for a delivery timeline and get it in writing if possible.
Q5: What are the maintenance / after‑sales considerations for diamond jewellery?
A: To keep the piece looking luxurious and safe:
- Regular cleaning: gentle soap + warm water; soft brush; avoid harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners (unless jeweller says safe).
- Check prongs / settings: over time, prongs may loosen; get Zewar (or other jeweller) to check every few months if worn often.
- Polishing/care: gold sometimes gets scratched; polish keeps metal looking new.
- Storage: store separately (soft pouch) so diamonds don’t scratch other jewellery; avoid moisture, chemicals, etc.
- Insurance or documentation: for high‑value pieces, have certificate, photos, receipts so insurance or heritage documentation is possible.
Q6: Should I consider lab‑grown diamonds or only natural ones?
A: Both have their pros and cons.
- Natural diamonds have heritage, perceived prestige, and sometimes resale value. They are rarer and thus traditionally more expensive.
- Lab‑grown diamonds often have similar optical, chemical and physical properties to natural ones; they cost less for similar specs; for some buyers they align with ethical or environmental values.
If Zewar offers lab‑grown options (or you can request them), compare them in person. Make sure they are certified and disclosed clearly. Decide based on your values, budget, and intended use (e.g. heirloom vs fashion piece).
Q7: How do I ensure the price is fair? Can I negotiate or expect discounts?
A: Yes, within reason. Here’s how to gauge fairness and negotiate:
- Compare similar pieces: Same carat/clarity/cut in different showrooms. This gives good benchmark.
- Understand metal and diamond components: What fraction of price is for the stone, what for design, labour, brand premium.
- Ask about bundled deals: Sometimes you get more favourable price if buying a set (necklace + earrings) or multiple items together.
- Check for hidden costs: shipping, certification, insurance, future servicing.
- Be polite but firm: Luxury jewellers often expect negotiation; ask if price can be adjusted, whether you get free cleaning/polishing/resizing etc.
Q8: What styles will still look good years from now?
A: Those that are classic, not overly tied to fleeting fashion. Some examples:
- Solitaire rings or earrings.
- Simple halo pendants or necklaces.
- Tennis bracelets / lines of small diamonds in regular patterns.
- Designs with symmetry, modest size, high quality finish rather than maximal weight or show.
In contrast, very trendy large art‑deco pieces or extremely large statement chokers may look dated or be heavier to wear later.
Q9: How do I choose a necklace, ring, or earrings to match my other pieces or wardrobe?
A: Here are tips:
- Match metal tones: if you wear more yellow gold jewellery, necklaces or earrings should harmonize. Mixed metals can work but be intentional.
- Coordinate stone shapes: If you have earrings with round cuts, perhaps ring or pendant in similar shape will look more cohesive.
- Think about neckline: deep V necklines suit pendants or tassel necklaces; high collars might require choker styles.
- Consider size relative to your frame / face / hands: very large necklaces may overshadow delicate frame; smaller accents may enhance without overwhelming.
Q10: When is the best time (occasion/event) to buy such luxury pieces? And are there deals around occasions?
A: Good times to buy or best reasons:
- Weddings, engagements, anniversaries: people often budget for such purchases.
- Festival seasons: Eid, etc., or local “sales events” where jewellers may offer promotions, discounts, or added services (free polishing etc.).
- Off‑season times: when there is less demand, sometimes better bargaining.
- Custom order deadlines: order in advance so you are not rushed and potentially overpaying.
Also, check whether jewellers have “showroom events” or “collection launches” — sometimes there are special promotions then.
