India is a living canvas painted with centuries of tales and craftsmanship. We imagine the crimson silks of Banaras to the desert greens of Rajasthan and the sunlit golds of the Deccan. Every region has a signature hue that tells its own tale.
These colors are taken as inspiration and soul of the designs at Tarinika. Each collection is carefully imagined reflecting India’s regional hues. Our pieces blend artistry with emotional resonance. Let’s take a journey through India’s most iconic color stories and discover how Tarinika translates them into timeless jewelry designs.
1. BANARASI RED: THE HUE OF HERITAGE
Banaras is the city of temples, weaves, and wedding dreams. Think of a Banarasi saree woven with zari threads and you instantly imagine deep maroon, vermilion and crimson tones.
This iconic shade finds its way into our bridal collections that celebrate tradition with a modern twist. The Banarasi Red palette symbolizes love, devotion, and new beginnings — emotions that every bride carries on her big day.
You’ll often see these hues come alive through:
> Ruby gemstones paired with gold plating
>Kundan work that mirrors the royal aesthetic
>Filigree detailing inspired by temple architecture.
Each design reflects the heritage of Banaras while staying relevant to the modern bride who loves a touch of tradition without feeling weighed down by it.
Styling Tip: Pair Neelambari Antique Necklace Set from our bridal range with a Banarasi silk saree. The interplay of texture and color creates a regal look that turns heads every time.
2. Deccan Gold: The Glow of Grandeur
The Deccan region is stretched from Hyderabad’s royal courts to the temples of Karnataka. It has long been the heart of antique gold jewelry. The warmth of the Deccan gold palette reflects both luxury and legacy.
This tone is reimagined at Tarinika through antique finishes, Matte gold plating and temple-inspired motifs. Think goddesses, lotuses and peacocks that echo ancient carvings. This palette captures the spirit of craftsmanship that defined South Indian jewelry but with a contemporary rhythm.

3. RAJASTHAN GREEN: THE COLOR OF ROYALITY AND RENEWAL
Rajasthan’s love affair with green runs deep. The emerald-studded crowns of Jaipur’s maharanis to the green enamel work of traditional Meenakari jewelry inspire designers at Tarinika. This color symbolizes prosperity and harmony.
The Rajasthan Green palette shines through in our pieces that blend emerald tones with kundan artistry. These designs take cues from Jaipur’s heritage, especially the fusion of Rajput and Mughal aesthetics.
You’ll find that Tarinika often infuses this palette with:
> Polki stones set in antique gold bases.
> Green glass accents that mimic the look of fine emeralds.
> Dual tone finishes that make the piece versatile for both festive and bridal wear.
Did you know? Green is considered a color of fertility and peace in Rajasthan. It is a perfect hue for festive celebrations and weddings alike.
Style it like a royal: Pair our Classic Ivy Polki Necklace Set with a pastel lehenga or ivory saree. The contrast instantly elevates your look with an effortless pop of color.
4. GUJARAT’S MIRROR SILVER: THE SPARKLE OF CELEBRATION
Gujarat’s artistry celebrates reflection literally and metaphorically. We are in awe of the mirror work of Kutch to the silver jewelry of Saurashtra. The silver mirror palette is youthful and perfect for those who love a modern ethnic vibe.
Tarinika channels this regional charm through its oxidized silver andtribal collections. We offer pieces that balance tradition with versatility. These are perfect for festive wear and fusion outfits.

5. THE SOUTHERN BLOOM: KERALA’S IVORY GOLD PALETTE
Kerala’s aesthetic is defined by simplicity and serenity. The ivory-gold palette inspired by the classic Kasavu saree reflects elegance and subtle grandeur.
