Indian jewelry is an expression of our tradition and heritage. Wearing Indian jewelry is about embracing the culture and acknowledging its beauty.

The popularity of antique jewelry reached its zenith during the Victorian and Mughal eras. The designs were characterized by distinct antique jewelry symbols and motifs. However, the advent of modernism in the 20th century saw a shift towards sleeker and minimalist designs.

Our antique earrings reflect the charm of South Indian temple architecture in their nakshi designs, which are popular amongst South Indian brides. Tarinika’s Indian earrings collection expands beyond these staple designs and offers statement earrings in various shapes and styles. The American diamond Indian earrings at Tarinika range from jhumkas, chandbalis, and drop earrings to elegant hoops and stud earrings.

Whether you opt for the traditional route or decide to stir up a contemporary fashion storm, it's your jewelry that enables you to stand out from the crowd. Unique tastes, 'different' and 'fresh' jewelry, and complimentary style are the terms that define your sense of fashion. At Tarinika, we know how important it is for you to highlight your individuality. And so, our creative team constantly works at crafting pieces that are singular, beautiful, and enhance your style. Antique expressions Antique jewelry reserves a charm of its own. Be it stunning necklaces or statement earrings, this jewelry is a great way to complement your traditional attire. Used smartly, you can also wear antique jewelry over contemporary western wear, and craft a unique look of your own. Celebrating the freedom of expression is Tarinika's Aashi antique earrings. The stunning pair of jhumkas are available with a red or blue enamel finish, enabling you to choose a shade that complements your attire. With beautiful craftsmanship, the play of pearls at the base of the earrings, lends a fascinating charm, making this a statement piece in its own right. Grand Chokers When you dress to look your best, then a grand choker set is what you need. However, rather than opting for run-on-the-mill designs, Tarinika designers recommend that you choose something offbeat and stylish, that speaks of your singular style. Much loved and recommended in this section is the Heya antique choker set. A traditional design, crafted with divine motifs, the floral arrangement is what offers the uniqueness here. With traditionally crafted earrings to match, you can sizzle in a sari with this beauty wrapped around your neck. Simple yet stylish, elaborate, and classy, this is a winner for wedding and party wear. With Ganesha and Lakshmi Devi motifs surrounded by lovely CZs, this one is a great way to welcome the festival season too. Glittering Necklaces Special parties, evening events, and cocktail dinners need you to amp your game with jewelry that can catch and play with the light around. Well-crafted CZ necklace sets are the perfect adornment for such special occasions. However, rather than opting for a piece with plenty of glitters, choose a piece that balances your look with the right cut, style, and detailing as well. Much loved in this category is the intricately patterned Almora nakshatra CZ necklace set. For those who want color and finesse in their jewelry, colored CZs can do the trick. Opt for beautifully crafted pieces like the Alala gold plated tribal necklace set that packs in the right amount of glitter. The tribal design offers uniqueness and enhances your look Geometric Rhythm An enticing form of jewelry, geometric patterns lend a whiff of freshness to the world of jewelry design. Moreover, jewelry with geometric patterns goes well not just with western wear, but also with Indian attire too. It enables you to look different, stylish, and unique. Also, you can opt for such jewelry for a range of occasions, right from formal to casual and partywear. From the house of Tarinika, a much-loved geometry-inspired piece of jewelry is the Geometric flare earrings. True to their name, these are a great choice to flare up your style quotient.

Be it pearls or CZ stones, antique choker necklaces or layered ones, long necklaces or short ones; the list is endless. While opting for Indian bridal necklaces may not seem a stylish choice, these beautifully pair with western wear and are much in demand. However, while you purchase, do ensure that the length and size of the piece will suit the personality of your loved one.     Bangles and bracelets:  Many men often avoid buying bangles because the right size often becomes an issue. However, both bangles and bracelets are great gifts and much appreciated. You can opt for bracelets with clasps to ensure that they will fit your loved one. Also, the array of contemporary designs available makes this a great gift option. Chain bracelets with gemstones and charms are catching on too. However, whatever you choose, do ensure that the store allows for a return and exchange policy. Choose designs keeping the tastes of your loved one in mind.      Earrings:  If there's one category of jewelry that most Indian women wear and enjoy, then it's earrings. The range is extensive, whether studs with solitary stones, elaborately set ear tops, pearl-shaped drop earrings, danglers, or ear cuffs.

The festive season is here as Christmas and New Year beckon us from around the corner. As you plan gifts and events for your loved ones, this is also the right time to relax and focus a little on yourself. Indulge and pamper, and the best way to do this is with jewelry. After all, with parties in line, you can make great use of this time to perfect your look for various occasions. While you may already be looking more closely at jewelry, here are 7 of our secret tips to help you shine your way into the New Year.  Sparkle and shine   With New Year's Eve being all about new beginnings, this is the time to bid the wintery darkness goodbye and usher in new hope and light. As you party, get noticed with the light that dances on your earrings and makes you sparkle and shine. You can opt for earrings, necklaces, or bracelets with CZ stones that reflect light and give you that extra bling. Sparkly earrings also ensure that even if you're partying in a darker setting like a dance floor, you get noticed by your sparkle.   Secret tip: While big and blingy is the right route to go this New year, check the length and shape of the piece you wear, and ensure that it complements your face shape.    Go the ethnic route   While many feel that New Year's Eve is all about modern and geometric jewelry, such isn't the case anymore. Your little black dress or any outfit of your choice can be fascinatingly paired with ethnic earrings as well. So, opt for Indian jhumkas or go for a pretty choker that adds to the adventure of your attire. Wearing a waist belt can also add oomph to your look.   Secret tip: Play with the shape and length of your Antique Jhumkas. Also, the width of your choker is of importance, for it needs to create the appearance of a long neck.    Play with textures   Rather than opting for plain jewelry, now is also the time to play with textures and build up drama. Use pieces that mix and match materials, colors and textures, for a grand look. With many New year parties, you can finally pick out the pieces that don't fit in the traditional or formal category.  Secret tip: Choose partywear that's made of huge stones or surprising elements like filigree. These can enhance your appearance.    Get those statement pieces out   New year's is the perfect time to showcase your bling, and what better way than to get those statement pieces out. Whether it be your large finger ring or the antique choker necklace, these pieces can help you look all dressed up to usher in the New Year. Enabling you to do much more with less, these pieces with exquisite craftsmanship will help you nail that perfect look.  Secret tip: A long statement necklace with glittering CZs is also a perfect complement for your little black dress.    Stack those bracelets   If you love pretty bracelets, now is the time to show your love. Choose ones that complement your attire the best, and let your persona shine. Stacking bracelets of different textures or a similar color palette can also get you the desired look. Opt for traditional bangles or contemporary styles that suit your personality, and express your style. Opting for bracelets with charms that include elements of Christmas like snowflakes and stars can also be delightful.   Secret tip: Pay close attention to the shape of your bracelets. They should make your arm look slender and long rather than overloaded.    Don't match, mismatch!   Gone are the days when jewelry had to be the exact color of your dress. The mismatched look is nowhere, and you can wear two different earrings and look fabulous. Irregular shapes in stones such as uncut stones or rare pearls can also enhance your appearance. However, jewelry experts will tell you that mismatching has to be done as carefully as matching.  Secret tip: Choosing common aspects like a color palette, shape or texture, can help you nail the mismatched look with absolute ease.    The ear climbers   While these have been on the scene for a long time, their full potential hasn't been explored. You can try ear climbers in a range of different materials to go with the color palette of your attire.    Secret tip: Look for ear climbers with bling and sass, but ensure they frame your face in a complementary way. You can also opt for ear climber in just one ear for an offbeat look.

Here we are to help you not only match the jewelry you have with outfits but, more importantly, shop for the right kind of pieces.   Opt for Online Shopping The one significant thing that online markets and e-commerce have done for the jewelry business is to make the marketplace a level playing field.

You can easily compare designs, styles, and even prices before you purchase.   Tip: As you set out to buy jewelry for the upcoming party, do not limit yourself to the local boutique. Check out the online market too, and you are sure to be amazed. Caution: While online shopping can be fun, never let your guard down at such places.

Caution: Do pay attention to the product quality also. Look at the terms, conditions, and policies of the online store and opt for one that would take care of repairs if need be. The Right Colors Of significant importance, yet often overlooked, is the color palette. The jewelry you choose needs to be noticeable in the attire you wear. Buying Indian earrings in the same color as your dress may camouflage it completely. On the other hand, buying jewelry in contrasting colors may disturb your appearance. Choose colors that complement each other. Also, match your jewelry with some other aspect of your attire, such as the belt or shoes. This will create a balanced look.   Tip: Along with choosing jewelry colors as per your dress, choose colors that complement your skin tone. So, while white and light-colored metals complement the cooler skin tones, opt for rose gold and gold shades if you have a warmer skin tone. Consider yourself lucky if you have a neutral skin tone, for any jewelry will suit you. Caution: Before you hit the 'buy button, ensure that the company you're buying from is legitimate and secure.

Artists constantly take inspiration from the world around them—the same holds for jewelry designers, not just in the present age but also in the yesteryears. With a rich history of hundreds of years, it is fascinating to see how the beautiful nature around humankind has translated itself into beautiful designs that range from contemporary to traditional. When it comes to Indian jewelry, you too may have seen such pieces in your mother's or grandmother's collection.    Be it black beads, Indian bangles, necklaces, or the maang tika; we bring you a list of seven such nature-inspired designs. Do look out for these eternal beauties on your next trip.    Mango motifs or paisleys:  Perhaps one of the oldest known designs, these motifs are trendy in Indian Jhumkas earrings, necklaces, and mang tikas as well. These are fascinating for their beauty, but did you know that they are also a symbol of fertility and are considered an auspicious design? With rich Indian history associated with these, mango motifs have also been influenced and thereby found a space in Mughal and Persian designs.    Flowers: One of the most beautiful gifts of nature are the bright, colorful, vividly scented, and shaped flowers. While it is tough to capture everything into the design, jewelry makers have done their best to take flowers' inspiration. Designers constantly create pieces such as earrings, necklaces, and even finger rings with floral motifs, whether the divine lotus, rose, or other flowers. Some even use semi-precious stones to bring in the colors, while other designs focus on the shape of pretty blossoming flowers and buds.    Leaves:  Another design that is much preferred for its beauty is the patterning of leaves. Be it the betel or pipal leaves, which are considered auspicious, to other delicate leaves; the jewelry designer continues to amaze at the variety they can tap from these natural elements. Inspiring from the shape and arrangement of leaves constantly leads to fascinating new designs that delight the soul. Floral vines that combine elements of both flowers and leaves lend fluidity to design and continue to amaze.    Seeds:  Be it the holy Rudraksha that is replicated on metal, or the shape of a range of seed grains, everything translates into the design for the jewelry artist. Considered auspicious, seed-inspired designs constantly find a place, especially in traditional jewelry.    Animals: Besides being inspired by nature's flora, its fauna is a thing of beauty that earns our love and appreciation. Be it the traditional elephant motif, that's considered auspicious because of its reference to the Indian God Ganesha, other animals such as cats, lions, tigers, and beautiful insects like butterflies, dragonflies, bees, etc. also find their space in the design. Not just these, today's talented designers can craft your favorite animal just for your unique piece of jewelry.   Birds: The beautiful swans, peacocks, flamingos, parrots, and love birds are difficult to create to precision. However, designers constantly surpass the formidable hurdles and can make jewelry to fall in love with. A multitude of variety greets the eye and warms the soul. While traditional Indian jewelry would showcase more peacocks, swans, and parrots, designers are also creating designs with owls and other birds in the current age.    Water:  Isn't it fascinating to note that the ingenuity of designers has made it possible for them even to capture the fluidity of water? While shapeless in itself, the wave pattern of water has been used to craft flowing jewelry designs. Such patterns can commonly be seen in bangles and bracelets and Indian anklets as well. Then there's the beauty of water drops, which have led to the creation of teardrop or water drop designs, which are popular in earrings, necklaces, and pendants as well.     Nature is an inspiration for designers and artists. Jewelry inspired by nature is always a favorite for women, for it connects you to the beautiful world around you. With a range of designs in a plethora of materials and colors now available, do begin your search too, and find your piece of nature to adorn.

Indian jewellery is perhaps one of the most versatile forms of jewellery in the world. With a rich history and heritage to get inspired from, it is no wonder that there is plenty of scope to keep evolving, experimenting, and adorning!   That said, it is more important than ever for the Indian bride to look her stunning best. After all, on your special day, you want to be the charm of all eyes. This is one occasion where you can go all out and get creative. As each bride wishes to look beautiful and strikingly different, the year's trends also come into play. So, making it easier for you to shop jewellery for a particular time in your life is the aim of this blog. Read on to know all about the trends for 2021.   Go the traditional route Yes, traditional jewellery has always been a classic statement. And whether you have heritage jewellery that's been passed on to you as heirloom pieces, or you go shopping for antique jewellery designs, weddings offer a perfect occasion. Like many brides, you too can opt for a mix, as you get pieces specifically designed or complementing your traditional heirloom pieces. The metal for traditional jewellery for weddings was typically gold, but the trends in 2021 indicate otherwise. You can choose any metal with conventional designs. Not only are these beautiful accessories to traditional bridal attire, but they also go well with modern drapes.   Tip: Instead of shopping for one-off pieces, ensure that you get an entire set to complete your look for the attire. Also, pairing bright pieces of gold with colourful coloured attires and dull or matte gold pieces with dull or matte coloured attire is a sure winner.  Opt for statement pieces    When shopping for Indian bridal jewellery sets that are, trends indicate brides opt for a few key statement pieces of jewellery. So, if you have a large forehead, then a maang tika may complement you perfectly. Today various elaborate pieces are bold and beautiful as well. A stunning piece that becomes the centre of attraction can be your focal jewellery, as you work your look around it. A lovely waistband is also a great statement piece to own. Whatever jewellery you choose as your statement pieces, do keep in mind that they frame your body in a complementing manner. You can ensure this by trying the entire set before the wedding and clicking a few pictures of yourself.   Tip: Base your choice of a statement piece on the features you'd like to highlight. For example, play with the length of layered necklaces based on the length of your neck and the kind of neckline of your dress.   Keep your look clutter-free    As weddings are a grand occasion, many brides often make the mistake of cluttering up their looks. Heavy dresses with elaborate embroidery tend to get paired with heavy jewellery with intricate work. The focal point of the look usually gets lost with such combinations. Trends this year indicate the importance of keeping your look clutter-free. Rather than wearing heavy jewellery with heavy clothes and heavy makeup, try to strike a balance. For example, pair a huge maang tika with a smaller bindi, so that the two complement each other and the former does not cover up the latter.   Tip: A happy smile, a few key pieces of beautiful jewellery and a lovely dress can keep you look stunning on your special day. However, do sort out what you would wish to wear for each of the wedding functions so that your look is different, fresh and clutter-free for various occasions.  Opt for cross-cultural pieces    The beauty of Indian culture lies in its diversity. Each Indian state has its kind of jewellery design to offer. Thus while the kasuluperu is a stunning necklace from South India, the Maharashtrian Nath and Bengali-styled chokers are other favourites. With a growing number of cross-cultural marriages, various cross-cultural pieces are also finding their way into the bridal trousseau. Today's brides aren't just limiting themselves to one particular culture but are picking up pieces from the culture of the length and breadth of India as well.   Tip: Pairing your jewellery from across cultures needs to be done with care, for enhancing your unique look.   Polki jewellery gains attention     This year, the polki jewellery pieces are being picked up by brides as the jewellery of choice. These uncut diamonds mined from the earth offer the right amount of grandeur and elegance to bridal attire. One of the historical forms of diamond cutting, the rough cut is beautiful and charming. Also, those with limited budgets needn't worry about the expense involved. While original polki jewellery can be costly, there are artificial options available to choose from as well.   Tip: There is a vivid variety of polki jewellery to choose from, and if your favourite physical store does not offer them, try the online stores as well.  Opt for pearls and semi-precious stones    Breathtaking with their elegance and grace, pearls can add to your wardrobe like nothing else. These complement a range of colors in the bridal attire and should be a part of one of the wedding festivities. Opt for an entire bridal set with pearls as the theme. These go well with polki and kundan jewellery pieces too, making for a stunning combination. Semi-precious stones like rubies and emeralds are great options too. Depending on your attire, you can choose semi-precious stones that complement them.   Tip: Before you go shopping for jewellery, use a colour wheel. This is a great way to find out which colors of semi-precious stones complement the colour of the dress you wear.   While it is essential to stay in tune with the latest trends, always listen to your heart and wear what you feel comfortable in. If a heritage piece of jewellery is close to your heart and you'd like to wear it whether it matches or not, choose an occasion and a complementing way of using that piece. If you wish to select a look that doesn't sit with norms and trends, go ahead. It's your special day after all, and you must dress up the way you want!

Especially when you begin shopping, you’re often caught between what to choose and what to avoid. So, if you’ve already browsed through many Indian bridal jewellery sites and are unsure of what to pick, we have some inspiring ideas to get you on the right track.    The your-kind of look:  For those of you who want your personality to shine through the jewellery choices you make, there are designs available that do so. Instead of picking what’s popular, choose what is closest to your heart, and follow the beacon. This might result in unusual selections, but they can pay off well!   For example, if you’re the kind who loves flowers and pastel colours, opt for bridal jewellery that has those elements. Such jewellery is available in many colours and materials, so you can choose to complement your look and outfit.   If you’re the kind who holds on to heritage and tradition, then do check out pieces that your grandmother has perhaps worn and can be reused by you. These can be polished and revamped to serve you on your big day.   Checking out antique jewellery options that are inspired by the past is a great option too. Today, there are many options available online that you can pick from.    Choosing big vs. small: With many mind-boggling designs out there, one is often confused about whether to choose a chunky and large piece or a slender and small one. Here are a few aspects that can help you decide.   While it isn’t more about small vs. big, much lies in the kind of attire you wear and how well the piece complements your neckline. So, if you’re choosing between a heavy necklace and a light one, compare it with the neckline of your dress first.    If both seem to be looking good, then check which aspect you’d like to highlight. If you wish to showcase your designer sari, then that’s the element to focus on. On the other hand, if you’re more in love with the large piece of statement jewellery, then let it shine.  We also suggest a combination of huge pieces and small ones. So, while you could opt for slender jewellery for a couple of occasions, do go big and blingy for one of the events as well.    The combination look:    A common mistake many shoppers make is of buying pieces at different stores. A change in the colour of the metal or stone leads to a look that isn’t perfect. A few suggestions to avoid making a mistake is,   Buy your jewellery at one place, or keep your choices over one attire in similar colours to avoid a look that’s clashing.   You can also opt for combinations. Bridal jewellery usually involves buying necklaces in layers. Many brides like to opt for a look where a choker or a shorter necklace length is matched with longer necklaces. It often becomes challenging to find different necklaces that go together. If this is the case with you, too, then opt for the combination look. Here, designers at the store will set the combination of both short and long necklaces. All you then need to do is match the look with your attire.    Colour it right:    Buying jewellery that contrasts or complements your attire is extremely important. To ensure that you are on top of the style quotient, keep the following aspects in mind:   Matching your jewellery and attire is one of the most traditional ways to do it. This is always in fashion and will timelessly continue to be this way.   However, you don’t always need to buy jewellery that matches your attire. You can buy pieces that are a different colour and contrast the dress beautifully. Deep blue's look great against light greys, while bright yellow jewellery can add a pop of colour against dark shades like bottle green or black.   Buying jewellery that belongs to the same colour family also looks good. It can be a few shades lighter or a few shades darker. Green emeralds thus look lovely across a light green dress, adding life to your clothing and your jewellery.    However, if you’re dressing up in a neutral shade, you can go creative with your jewellery and choose colours that excite you.    Mix and match:  While you may have been told that platinum doesn’t go with the yellow metal, the times now are changing.   You can mix silver or platinum jewellery with gold pieces. What you do need to keep in mind is the complete look.   If you are unsure, then opt for support from jewellery designers. While the traditional look with gold jewellery does look good, designer wear is an excellent option for those who wish to add extra glam to their look. If planned well in advance, you can work with designers and find something to complement your ensemble.   However, if you’re short on time, you can choose one aspect of your jewellery as designer wear. Maang tika studded with stones or a Nath that complements your face shape are some superb options to go with.   The range:  Jewellery for Indian brides, usually means necklaces, bangles, anklets, and sometimes a waist belt. However, that’s not all there’s available.   Do check out for Juda pins and hair accessories that can bring glam into your look.   Also, while not all traditions have the Nath as must-have jewellery, you can always use it to add extra glamour to your look.   Be comfortable: Whatever you ultimately choose as your jewellery option, don’t overlook the comfort factor. Remember that you have to keep your jewellery on you for perhaps an entire evening, and you mustn’t be discomforted by the weight and sharp edges of the jewellery you wear.  

Indian weddings are known for their various ceremonials and unique traditions. No Indian wedding is complete without a little sparkle. Jewelry plays an integral part in a wedding, not only in the bride's wedding trousseau but also as a great gifting option. What most people don't understand is that giving a wedding gift is etiquette in itself. While trusting your gut is essential, it comes down to good manners and common sense.    It can often get confusing and overwhelming to choose a wedding gift. Whether you are attending a wedding or a reception or both and don't know what to give, jewelry is the ideal gift. However, the budget for the wedding gift can also be of concern. This is where the underrated essence of artificial jewellery comes into the picture. Artificial jewelry has the same elegance and charm as precious jewelry. However, artificial jewellery is light on the pocket and ideal for friends and colleagues.   Whether you are a sister, a cousin, a bridesmaid, or simply a close friend, here is your guide to choosing the perfect wedding gift.   Earrings    Earrings make for a perfect wedding gift for the bride as women and a pair of earrings go hand in hand in India. If you are someone close to the bride, you can pick a pair that resonates with her personality. A pair of earrings gifted by the bride's sister or cousin is a keepsake for sure. This is an ideal choice as earrings are versatile and can be paired with almost anything.    Necklace/Chain    Giving a beautiful necklace set to the bride is an exclusive gift as it comes with a matching pair of earrings and, in most cases, a Nethi chutti (headgear). This gift can also act as a piece of generational jewelry which makes it all the more special. Gifting a simple chain to the groom is also an ideal choice for his relatives or friends. In most Indian traditions, it is customary for the relatives of the bride and groom to give the groom a chain during the wedding ceremony.  Rings Rings are jewelry that almost everyone wears, irrespective of their gender. Rings make for a very personalized and the best gift choice to give both the bride and the groom. Every jewelry store has options for love bands in different kinds of metals. Custom-made rings make the occasion all the more unique and act as a souvenir to remember their best day for the rest of their lives. Bracelets    Bracelets are a peppy and fancy accessory to gift anyone. Just like the rings, bracelets can also be given as a pair to the bride and groom. It makes for a very quirky gift and can be personalized in many different ways. Bracelets fit everyone and add an extra oomph to one's appearance. If the couple is close friends of yours, a bracelet can remind them of all the fun times you shared with them.  Anklets    If you want your gift to stand out from the rest of the crowd, then gifting the bride's anklets is ideal. This unusual piece of jewelry is not given as a gift, but when you give anklets to the bride, it often lasts for a long time. Anklets may come as a surprise because of their underrated ability to beautify one's feet. It is a significant and memorable gift to give the bride. Bangles    A woman can never have enough bangles, and hence gifting a bride a bangle is a great choice. If the bride is someone who likes dressing up, then a bangle is your best bet. A bangle is a functional piece of jewelry as she can adorn it effortlessly for any occasion. Gifting a bangle with a simple design will constitute her daily wear and add a little glitter to her office attire.  Pendant Buying the bride a chain with a simple yet elegant pendant as a gift is indeed a meaningful gesture. A chain and a pendant are light and classy. As it is customary for antique jewellery, gifting a pendant covers that purpose. A simple pendant and charm will add a slight shimmer to her overall persona. Waist Band   A Waist band is a unique gift to give someone as it is a pretty uncommon gift. Not all women wear a waist band, so you have to ensure that the bride would have no qualms to wear it. A hip chain is the most charming piece of jewelry to give someone. It provides an elegant look to a person's figure and is used in most wedding ceremonies in India by women. A waist band is sure to add a trendy look to your appearance for any occasion. Hair brooches come in various varieties, sizes, and shapes; these include hairpins, headbands, tiaras, and headpieces. Hair Brooch    A hair brooch is opulent and a must-have addition to every jewelry box. If you are a best friend looking to give the bride a functional yet charming gift, then a hair brooch is the best choice. Choosing a contemporary hair brooch can help the bride pair it with an Indian and Western outfit. A hair brooch makes up for the best accessory for the hair and adds to the overall elegance for any special occasion.     Check out our exclusive jewelry collection at www.tarinika.com to choose the ideal wedding gift.
