A Lush Setting

Emeralds, jade, or green garnets become more prominent when paired with pearls or diamonds. The colour combination makes for an impressive statement, especially when paired with an outfit in pastel tones.

At First Blush 

Heighten your feminine charm with jewellery in shades of pink—a refreshing way to elevate pastel  ensembles, by including pieces in different shades of the rosy hue or in combination with other colours. A particular favourite is teaming the hue with a cream ensemble for a day function.

The Art of Layering

Your style doesn't always need to be excessive. Consider simpler, statement pieces, in bold hues, for an equally-impactful appearance. A single-string neckpiece lends itself perfectly to layering, especially with chokers or bib necklaces.

A Modern Element 

Polkis, kundans, and pearls hold an irreplaceable spot in the Indian trousseau. Make the traditional standout even more by giving it a modern upgrade: mix and match the three gemstones, in bright colours and more au-courant designs, like here.
