Jewellery That Should be On Your Radar This Onam

“I have enough jewellery,” said no woman ever! As the festive season approaches, shopping becomes an integral part of our routine, and adding that perfect piece of jewellery becomes essential to elevate your entire look.  One of the most exquisite aspects of Indian culture is its traditional jewellery – a true feast for the eyes. 

For centuries, jewellery has evolved from the ancient era to the current statement jewellery. Think elaborately crafted gold pieces, adorned with breathtaking gemstones, lustrous pearls, and shimmering diamonds, all coming together to create magic.

With Onam, the King of Festivals in Kerala, approaching, celebrating in ethnic attire and authentic jewellery is a must. Here’s an exciting curated collection of must-haves to elevate your bijoux box!

Statement Necklace Sets

A statement necklace isn’t just an accessory; it’s a transformative element that enhances the elegance of silk sarees, making it an essential piece for Onam celebrations. Whether you’re drawn to the intricate charm of Polki jewellery or the timeless beauty of traditional temple motifs, these necklaces resonate with the festival’s vibrant spirit, infusing your outfit with the right amount of oomph

Arm Candies 

Stack it up this Onam! Accessorise even your simplest Onam look with a vibrant stack of bracelets, kadas, and cuffs. Bold and intricately designed, these jewellery pieces, often adorned with colourful gemstones, can instantly elevate your look from basic to breathtaking. Whether it’s a chunky brass cuff with a silk saree or a bracelet stack with a kurta set, these pairings guarantee double-takes. These pairings are sure to turn heads and leave everyone wanting to borrow a page from your style playbook.

Waist Belts

Once reserved for weddings, the OG kamarband is now cinching its place in every festive wardrobe. This beautifully crafted add-on, adorned with stunning stones and pearls and featuring intricate designs, works wonders in enhancing your silhouette while adding a touch of elegance to your ensemble. Whether you’re draping a saree or styling a lehenga, a waist belt instantly elevates your look, adding structure, style, and just the right amount of drama.

Chain Reaction

Want to keep it subtle yet impactful? Nothing can beat the charm of vintage earring chains, or kaan-chains, as they are popularly known. To create a truly stunning traditional look, consider pairing your jhumkas with an earring chain adorned with delicate pearls or stones. The gentle fall of the chain adds a whisper of elegance, drawing attention to your features in the most effortless way.

Beaming Braid Jewellery

Let your hair do all the talking this festive season! Once worn exclusively by brides and bridesmaids at weddings, this over-the-top add-on is perfect for those who believe that more is more. Whether you choose to embellish a traditional braid with fresh flowers or opt for a gold-plated jada adorned with pearl details, the contrast between delicate materials and bold design ensures this accessory remains the focal point of any ensemble.
