They say style is a way of telling who you are without speaking about it. When it comes to dressing up in style, jewelry can make or break your look. By pairing it correctly, you can accentuate your best features, your attire, and most importantly, your personality. On the other hand, wrong choices can make you look over-dressed, imbalanced, and outdated. This article helps you explore five different jewelry types that you can add to your wardrobe and keep rocking the stylish look.  1. Elegant Choker Sets  Chosen right, a good quality choker set that's crafted to perfection can enhance your look. While it's easy to find an elegant choker for traditional wear and wedding collections, an elegant piece that suits the contemporary fashion look with western wear may be hard to find. However, there are some great choices out there and you can pick a set that suits your skin tone, your neck length, and your attire. A special piece from Tarinika in this regard is the Myia Nakshatra CZ choker set. Studded with gracefully cut CZ stones, this stunner is a striking piece of jewelry to own. Available in varied colors, you can choose a piece that goes with your attire and personal style. 2. Classy Pendant Sets  Ever-graceful, classy pendant sets are a favorite choice for women who like to keep the minimal no-fuss jewelry look. A stylish pendant on the right length of chain can make all the difference to your appearance. Paired with the right attire, you can look effortlessly well-dressed. With earrings to complement, this set is a complete look. Moreover, you can match these both with Indian and western wear, giving you plenty of room for using and reusing them too. A pretty example of a classy pendant set from the house of Tarinika is the Luna Nakshatra CZ pendant set. Balancing gold and white tones, this complements any skin tone. The delicate finish and the simple yet stunning lay of CZs give you a wholesome look. 3. Glamorous Necklace Sets  Looking to add glamor to your party outfit?

Such pieces can balance the look of a heavy sari and enhance the charm of the simple solid colors too. A lovely example from Tarinika in the glamor category is theAlmora Nakshatra CZ necklace set. A showcase of exemplary craftsmanship, this pretty necklace set is studded with CZs that add the right amount of sparkle.

Crafting beautiful jewelry is as much a science as it is an art. At Tarinika, we pay attention to each and every step, right from concept to finish; ensuring that only the most beautiful, high-quality, and unique piece of jewelry reaches you. To understand the process that each piece of jewelry goes through, do read how Tarinika crafts its fine jewelry for you.  Conceptualizing  To craft a piece that's unique in necklace design, the first step comprises of conceptualizing. A team of 8-10 creative designers work on creating new jewelry concepts. Each idea is then evaluated to understand the result, and finally, the best designs are shortlisted. A lot of emphasis is placed on trend forecasting so that designers can create unique ideas for jewelry. A keen eye for detail and an understanding of the consumer psyche plays a key role here. This stage of design also includes detailed jewelry sketches and technical drawings.  Computerizing  The advent of technology has enabled better translation of ideas to finish. At this stage, the design drawn on paper is put on to computer systems with Computer-Aided Design technology. The software not only calculates dimensional accuracy of the piece now, but it also helps craft intricate and accurate designs. With the CAD file in place, the designer next uses a 3D Rapid Prototype system to create a fully functional resin model.  Modeling  The resin model is further used to create a metal model, which will then work as a master design. It will also be used to create a rubber mold for future pieces. To craft a piece, molten wax is pressure injected into the mold cavity. The wax models thus created are used for casting. These pieces are soldered on a wax stem to create a wax tree. At this step, small CZ stones are also set in the wax.  Casting  Our team now arrives to the step of casting. This is a complex process that requires a high level of skill. Experienced casters place the wax tree in a steel flask. Chemical is added into it, and the flask is heated in a furnace. The wax now melts, leaving behind a tree cavity. Molten metal is poured into the flask, and allowed to cool. At the end, the tree is demolished, revealing the piece of jewelry.  Grinding & filing  The raw cut now goes to the polisher, who grinds away to get a smooth surface. At this stage, polishing is done on a spinning wheel to obtain a gleaming smooth surface. Filing is the next step and it involves removing the excess metal or solder from the piece of jewelry. A range of tools are used to give a smooth finish. At this stage, independent components if any are joined together using a solder or laser.  Polishing  The next step involves polishing the jewelry for a neat finish. Using a series of steps that are different for jewelry with stones and without, polishing is taken up. Once an initial polishing is done, stone setting takes place and can include prong, pressure, buff, and other setting styles. A final polish gives jewelry a better shine and may be done by hand or by a machine. Hand polishing makes use of different tools to impart shine and white luster and remove roughness if any.  Rhodium plating and enamel  After the jewelry is polished, rhodium plating is done. Rhodium is a sparkling white precious metal that is often layered on jewelry. With rhodium plating, your jewelry acquires a white reflective surface and has better resistance to scratches and tarnishing. Appealing earrings designs can also be created on jewelry. The complete piece of jewelry then goes for enamel, where the metal is painted with a resin-based material. Quality check Before a product is considered ready for shipment, it has to undergo a thorough check for quality. Quality control (QC) procedure is followed to ensure that every manufactured piece of jewelry adheres to the set quality parameters. It is also seen whether the product meets the requirements of the customer. This is done by measuring, conducting a visual assessment, and finally a mechanical inspection.  With each and every step carefully thought out, work at Tarinika goes like clockwork, to ensure that our customers only get the best inline quality, design, and prices. This craft process enables us to make the finest designs, and ensure that you get them at the best prices too. 

Putting together a western look but unsure of what jewelry goes best with it? Fret not, at Tarinika jewelry we’ve got you covered.   A brand that’s carefully been crafting and catering to the jewelry needs of thousands of women, our team of designers churn out some of the most loved pieces of Antique jewellery every year. Strongly rooted, we also work with jewelry that complements western attire as well.   We bring you five great ideas that will leave a lasting impression on all at that big event.  Statement Earrings: Statement earrings always make for a grand choice when it comes to putting together a look for your western attire. In fact, for many a smart pair of earrings are the go-to jewelry for western wear. A good set can have you sorted with your look in no time.   While there is a range of geometry inspired jewelry to choose from, ethnic designs can make a statement like none other. The beautiful red/blue hued Aashi antique earrings from Tarinika are a bold pair.   With delicate detailing gone into crafting this traditional chandbali, the pearl clusters, antique gold plating and color options complete the look. Whether you’re choosing earrings for a long gown or for a short dress, these statement earrings are all that you need to look your dazzling best.  Stylish Necklaces: Another great way to accentuate your western attire, is to complement it with a suitable necklace. A short necklace can look great on a deep neck dress, adding glamor to your party look.   When choosing a short necklace, do ensure that it complements the neckline of your dress and is visible in its complete glory. If you’re unsure of what kind of short necklace to opt for, then do have a look at the Geeti antique silver necklace set. Pretty in silver, the fine work on this beautiful necklace adds to its appeal. The complementary earrings make the look complete, and you’re all set to shine at the party you’re headed to.   A classy combination, go for this style if silver jewelry suits your skin tone.  Antique Necklaces: For those of you who’re looking for glamor to complement their western attire, then  antique necklaces can work beautifully.  Paired right, antique necklaces can break the monotony of a monochrome attire and bring in the much-needed drama. Moreover, if silver isn’t the color for you, then gold based antique necklaces should be the jewelry to look at.   Choosing an elegantly crafted antique necklace that suits the color wheel of your dress, complements its neckline and matches your skin tone, can win you a great look.   We recommend that you have a look at Tarinika’s Vallari antique necklace set. With pretty pearls enhancing the look of the necklace and earrings, this one’s a grand choice that will go well with your beautiful silk dress.  Statement Anklets: You can also add an element of freshness to your western look with the Indian touch of anklets. Choose beautifully designed anklets and wear either as a single anklet or as a set.   Anklets are flexible jewelry, and you can also use these creatively to add to your western look. The house of Tarinika offers a stunning and varied range of anklets to choose from.   You can complete your look with effortless ease from our extensive collection. However, we’d like to draw your special attention to the Uttara antique anklets.  Crafted in traditional style, this goes well with short pyjamas and skirts. However, when choosing anklets such as the Uttara, do ensure that you wear open style sandals which enable you to showcase the beauty of this anklet.  Longer Necklaces: An important accessory for any attire, be it western or Indian, is a nice long necklace. While short necklaces do complement certain neck lines and neck shapes, the longer necklaces usually offer a wider range of flexibility.   You can opt for a necklace with geometric designs to complement your western look. Alternatively, ethnic designs crafted in a metal color of your choice also do wonderfully well.   A piece de resistance from Tarinika is the Ramaiya antique pendant set, which comes with a carefully crafted chain and temple jewelry inspired pendant. A perfect complement for Indian sarees and lehengas, an offbeat look can be curated for your western attires too, with the statement jhumkas and beautiful necklace.  Whatever jewelry you opt for, make your choice at a trusted store, that offers a good range, high quality and the best prices.

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.   

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.
