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. Check out @shoptarinika and you may find the right style to fall in love with. 

The start of a New Year marks the time to discard the old and celebrate the new. As you declutter your wardrobe and improve it with better clothes and jewelry, we're sure that you must be wondering where to head for shopping.   At Tarinika, we are here to help take care of the jewelry aspect for you. With a rich background, knowledge of the market and its trends, and a great team of designers, we bring you an eclectic collection to begin the year with.  Jewelry for Grand Evenings and Parties: Evenings are the time for you to wear your best party clothes and put on jewelry that complements your look. As you showcase your style, you need to ensure to get the whole look together. When wearing western wear, opt for jewelry that complements in color and style. Also, importantly ensure that it complements the neckline of your dress as well. The intricately designed Lishi antique necklace set ticks all the right boxes when you go choosing jewelry for parties. With an antique design, great workmanship, and a unique appeal, you're surely going to be the shining star at every party. Jewelry for work: Office wear jewelry needs to be smart and complement the formal attires you wear. With many women choosing to wear sarees, you can choose traditional earrings for important occasions. Well-chosen earrings accentuate your look, without overpowering your appearance. One of the very beautiful sets from Tarinika is the finely crafted Fleur lotus statement earrings. With pretty flowers in an intricate pattern, the colored CZs enhance the look as they complement your attire. For Festivals and Celebrations: The year 2022 is going to bring plenty of reasons to celebrate and look your best. Be it the upcoming festivals of Sankranti and Pongal, new beginnings of traditional New Year, or other occasions like Holi, Id, Diwali, and Christmas, we recommend that you shop in advance. This will help you use your jewelry in a flexible manner and not worry about your look every time. As festivals provide a time to sparkle and shine, we recommend that you flaunt your style with beautiful jhumkas. A traditional must-have in every woman's collection, this time opt for an offbeat set. Check out the sparkly Haima Nakshatra CZ earrings. Crafted with high-quality CZs and pearl drops, the colored stones accentuate your look. Also, remember to opt for a smart pair of Indian bangles that you can wear on different occasions. A must-have is the lovely set of Upexa antique bangles. Crafted with colored CZs in colors that you like, the accents of pearls and CZs ensure that you look grand on every occasion.     For Dates and Anniversaries: These are special times, where you want to look your best without overdoing it. While you need to match jewelry to your attire and ensure that the two go well together, it's important to remember that jewelry shouldn't look overpowering. On such occasions, your jewelry needs to be calming, stylish, and sophisticated, rather than loud and celebratory. One such feminine piece of jewelry that we recommend is the Jalaja lotus motif pearl necklace. With beautiful earrings to complement, do ensure to pick a dress with a neckline that shows off the beauty of this set. For Weddings: And finally, the most important occasion of all, is weddings. Whether you're the bride or a part of the family and the festivities, you need to choose jewelry that keeps you in the limelight. Rather than opting for standard pieces of jewelry, we at Tarinika advise you to focus on workmanship and opt for more creative and stunning options. One of our favorites in this category includes the Cyne Nakshatra CZ choker set. Elegant and stunning, this choker goes well with most attires. Crafted with the best quality of CZs and pearls, this sits beautifully around your neck. Also, the complementing studs made with CZs enhance the appeal. With a wedding meaning many different occasions to dress for, we'd recommend that you keep at least one set in antique gold as well. While the CZs can sparkle for you in your evening sari, choose something like the Fleur lotus dreamy necklace set for daytime. Crafted with intricate lotus motifs, this short necklace with beautiful earrings, is dreamy and ethereal.     While the above list is our suggestion, you should choose based on your individual preferences.

Visits to various stores, for clothes and jewellery mark this period. However, we are here to help you remove the hassle (and stress!) of choosing your perfect bridal wedding jewellery. After all, to look radiant on your big day, you need to relax. While this seems like a tough ask, it isn't impossible. In fact, with the option of online shopping now available, you can shop easily right from the comfort of your home. We bring you five tips on various jewellery and how you can easily choose right from home. Choosing Necklaces   The first piece of jewellery that comes to mind when you're shopping for a wedding is purchasing a necklace. With a variety of designs available, you need to keep in mind that one set is not going to be enough. While you may have to wear your heirloom pieces or gifts from the mother-in-law for one of the occasions, you do need to plan for the other functions too.   So, start by chalking the different events at your wedding, and the jewellery best suited for each. Choosing a modern and gorgeous one is highly recommended for sangeet. For example, you can check out the Nandini CZ necklace that has been intricately crafted to wow at such special occasions.  Selecting Armlets   A great way to enhance your wedding attire is to opt for jewelry that's traditional yet distinct. While necklaces and bangles are a wedding staple, opting for jewelry such as armlets can enhance your look.     These go wonderfully with traditional wedding attire, and if you're planning on a traditional silk sari for the wedding, these can enhance your look. While choosing armlets, opt to wear them such that the design and colors of the armlet match with your clothing/   Wearing these on blouses with lesser embroidery can balance your look better. A grand example of a distinctively designed armlet is the Vibha nakshatra CZ armlets from Tarinika. Crafted with CZs, these can add sparkle to any sari and blouse, and make you look grand.   Opt for a complete Bridal Set   Instead of choosing one-off pieces, a smart thing to do is to select an entire bridal set. These sets cut down plenty of effort as you don't have to shop for individual pieces. Additionally, a well-crafted set complements you beautifully and completes your look.    While these are usually priced a little higher than individual pieces, these are a smart decision and can help you sort out the look for a function at a wedding quite easily. The Suhana bridal set from the house of Tarinika is a great choice. Crafted with CZs in a fascinatingly intricate design, this set comprises of seven beautiful components.    These include three necklaces of different lengths, right from a choker to a short length and a long necklace. Beautiful Indian earrings enhance the look, while maang tika, passa, and bracelets with finger rings, give the extra touch of zing to your attire. Discover the glory of waistbands  Accentuate a narrow waist with beautiful waistbands. There are few occasions where you can effortlessly carry off a waistband, and weddings are one of them. A must-have for traditional weddings, do not miss out on adding this accessory to your wedding attire. However, do remember to wear them right.     While many feel that waistbands should be worn over the navel, you can shift their position up or down, depending on what suits you best. However, you wear this accessory, do opt for a classy design that reflects your individual style. Opting for antique jewelry like South Indian temple jewellery is a great idea. The Chakriya antique waistband from Tarinika is crafted with motifs of Goddess Lakshmi and colored CZs, to create an elegant and stylish piece.   The Quintessential Maang Tika   Finally, the jewel on top is the beautiful maang tika. Finding a prominent place in bridal collections, maang tikas are an important addition in bridal attire. Choose a style that suits your forehead and opt for heavy designs if you have a broad forehead. Alternatively, a narrow forehead needs a slender design.    Don't fret if you're unsure, for there's plenty of safe middle ground to choose your jewellery. Opt for pieces that complement your attire and have been mindfully crafted with precision in design. Tarinika's Vibha Nakshatra maang tika is one such piece of jewelry that's been star-studded to add to your glamor.    While looking your stunning best may seem like a tough ask, it can be absolutely rewarding.

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.

Indian festivals are a time of celebration. It is a time when family, friends, and relatives get together, spread laughter, and create memories. It is time to look your radiant best and get those carefully chosen clothes and jewelry out from their boxes and adorn them. The first year of festivals is even more important for the newlywed Indian bride, the center of attention for the doting family.     To look your best not just on your wedding day, but through the important days of the year is no easy task. But fret not; with a bit of foresight and careful planning, you can ace your look every time. The smartest thing to do is to plan much. A new bride can shop for festival jewelry pieces while she is buying bridal jewellery sets for her wedding. Do remember that not all pieces need to be in pure gold or diamond. While you can choose a few pieces in precious stones and metals, you can buy a few designer pieces that show exquisite craft. While you plan for jewelry, do keep these aspects in mind.   A Budget:  Plan a budget that is comfortable for you. With a number in mind, you can go about choosing a combination of jewelry, that's beautiful yet easy on your pocket too. If you feel that formulating a budget is tough, you can browse various jewelry sites online to know the price range you can expect. This will enable you to plan accordingly.  Your Color Palette:  Know the colors you wish to play around with. Festival times are usually all about bright, happy colors, but you can also opt for the subdued and pastel palette. Depending on the colors of your attire, you can then look at jewelry to complement. So, while you shop for your bridal trousseau, keep a mix of different Indian dresses for various social occasions. This will allow you to choose jewelry also. Last but not least, ensure that the color palette you select complements your skin tone.     Buy Jewelry in Varied Materials:  The lovely colors of gold and silver and the many hues these two precious metals come in, offering a range in itself. Then there are the elegant pearls, ruby red stones, and emerald greens that entice. Buy your jewelry in a mix of different shades and materials to add diversity to your wardrobe.      Complement the Attire:  The jewelry you wear should complement your attire and not overpower or underwhelm in any manner. So, choose pieces as per the neckline of your dress. You can opt for necklaces in varying lengths ranging from the choker necklace to a longer work. While these can be worn together for grand evenings, each of these pieces can be worn on their own for smaller functions.     Look at Craftsmanship:  Advertising often leads us to believe that the more expensive pieces are better. However, such is not the case. There are many beautiful pieces of jewelry out there, waiting for you at lesser costs. All you need to do is tune your wavelength to the craftsmanship of the piece. Look at brands that offer the novelty of design, and you will find pieces that are high on craft and light on the pocket as well.     Buy Smart:  Pendant sets and jewelry sets are an excellent way to get more for less.

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.  

Jewelry is a cherished purchase for all; however, it is essential to keep a few crucial aspects in mind before choosing a piece for yourself. Many people often make the mistake of buying jewelry based on a whim. As a result, one ends up with details that may be impractical, expensive, and usually low in quality. To ensure that the purchase you make will stand the test of time and serve you for long, here are five things you need to keep in mind before your purchase.  Know the purity and quality  The purity and quality of the material is important consideration when it comes to buying choker necklace jewelry. When buying gold or silver jewelry, do consider the purity parameters for each. Buying from a trusted store that provides you with information on the quality of your product is advisable. Also, when buying diamonds, crystals, or semi-precious stones, ensure that it comes with certifications from a reputed organization. As important as it is to know the purity, check the quality of the product too. Ensure that the clasps and joints of your product are sturdy to withstand friction and that the store will support you in case any issue arises.    The price and budget  Go for jewelry shopping with a budget in mind. This will enable you to choose smartly without going overboard. Planning a budget allows you to earmark an amount and get the best buy within the range. This is especially important for events like weddings, where you have multiple expenses and do not want to splurge on jewelry alone. This is also a great idea when you're comparing jewelry at different stores and will allow you to get better returns on your money. Look for deals and discounts, as other stores do offer these around festive seasons, and you can get fabulous jewelry at much lesser costs.    Deciding what to wear it with  As you go about purchasing jewelry, it is essential first to decide what to wear it with. This will help you choose better, based on the neckline and amount of work on the dress. This is especially true for wedding jewelry, as you need to buy ornaments that complement your attire and enhance your appearance. A dress with heavy embroidery is well complemented with a more straightforward piece of jewelry and vice versa. Also, ensure that the color of jewelry complements your attire well.    Choose according to your body type and skin tone.  Many make the mistake of choosing Indian anklet jewelry that does not suit their body type or skin tone. Often purchased on a whim or based on trends followed by celebrities, these pieces may not compliment your face shape well. So be careful and choose jewelry that matches your face shape, skin tone, length of neck, and body type. This will ensure that your jewelry complements your body type beautifully and makes you look stunning. Various parameter guidelines are available to enable you to make the right purchase in this regard.    Do a bit of comparison shopping.  Last but often, the most overlooked aspect is comparison. While jewelry shopping is often an impulse purchase, smart buys are made when you've done your homework well. Do a few background checks and compare jewelry from different online stores. This will give you a fair idea of how the market is like, where you should buy and what you can plan to spend. Reading reviews is another crucial aspect of comparison-shopping because it lets you know what customers are saying about their purchases. This, in turn, will help you shop more smartly.     Jewelry shopping is always a delight, as there's plenty of excitement surrounding your purchase. As you indulge in shopping for beautiful jewelry, ensure that you shop safely and from trusted brands. Online transactions need to be done carefully, and going with a trusted name will keep you safe. 

Do you also wish that your beloved jewelry looks as shiny and new, as it did on the day you purchased it? However, unfortunately, metals have a tendency to get impacted by the environment and various other factors. As a result, it tarnishes, thereby losing its sheen and appeal over time.   But don't worry, for all is not in vain. Tarnishing is only a temporary change, and with a little extra effort, you can protect your favorite necklaces and rings from their effects. Read on to find out more.  What is tarnishing, and why does jewelry get tarnished?  Tarnishing refers to the loss of shine of an object, such as jewelry. As a result, the object begins to look dull and lifeless, and you are unable to wear it anymore. Indian Jewellers get tarnished due to a chemical change on the surface of the metal, and various factors can be responsible for it.     These include exposure to the metal and its contact with humidity, sweat, makeup, and body oils. These react with the jewelry and form a dull coating, thereby making it look dull. The amount of tarnishing on a piece of jewelry varies depending upon the extent to which it has been exposed to damaging factors. So, while in the early stages a tarnished object may appear lightly dull, your jewelry may turn completely black if tarnished for a long time. While different metals get tarnished in different ways, nickel and silver often show their effect the most.   Can tarnishing be reversed?  Yes, you can breathe a sigh of relief, for tarnishing on those pretty Indian necklaces and anklets can most certainly be reversed. In fact, there are many hacks and methods that can be used to reverse tarnishing. A few methods include  Using a special cleaning cloth: These are available at many stores. Rubbing your ornaments with this cloth can help remove signs of tarnishing and bring the pieces back to their former glory.  A combination of white vinegar and water can also work well in removing tarnish. To use this, all you need to do is mix vinegar and water in equal proportions. Then using a soft toothbrush dipped in this solution, clean the tarnished areas.  Dipping silver ornaments in saltwater can also remove the tarnish. However, it is always better to test this method on a very small part of the piece before dipping it entirely into a salt bath.      A word of caution though. Not all metals are suitably cleaned by the given methods. It would always be better to test the cleaning methods on a part of the ornament before cleaning it completely using these methods.   How can you protect your jewelry from tarnish?  Prevention is always better than cure. Regular maintenance and safekeeping of your jewelry will ensure that you are able to protect jewelry from tarnish for a longer time. A little care can thereby go a long way in keeping your beautiful jewelry safe. To protect from tarnish,  -Always wear jewelry after you apply makeup. In fact, experts say that jewelry must be the last thing to put on, and the first thing to remove. This will ensure that the surface of your ornaments aren't much exposed to detrimental factors.      -Before storing your jewelry, wipe it with a soft cloth. Also, store it in a box with cloth or cotton, so humidity if any will be absorbed by the cloth.      -Remove your jewelry before a bath or a swim. This will reduce its exposure to the harms of chlorinated water.      -Remove jewelry before participating in any strenuous activities, so as to protect it from scratches and exposure to dust.    The amount of tarnish on your favorite ornaments will also depend on the quality and type of the metal. While some metals tend to tarnish faster and are hard to recover using the above methods, other metals tarnish slowly. It is therefore important to buy metals of high quality, to ensure that you can enjoy your jewelry for longer.

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!
