What makes a jewellery design “the best”? It’s not just about price, but how it makes you feel. In my opinion, the best collections balance timeless tradition with modern wearability. Based on what’s trending and what has enduring appeal, here’s what should be in your collection:
Temple Jewellery: Rooted in South Indian tradition, these pieces are experiencing a massive revival. Think gold-toned pieces featuring gods, goddesses, and divine motifs. They add instant gravitas to any silk saree.
Kundan and Polki Sets: The epitome of Mughal elegance. Don’t just think of heavy necklaces; modern designers are creating lighter, more versatile Polki earrings and stackable rings perfect for the contemporary bride.
Minimalist Contemporary Gold: This is a huge trend. Delicate gold jhumkas, thin haarams (long chains), and chic bracelets are perfect for daily wear. They offer a touch of tradition without being overpowering.
Silver and Oxidised Jewellery: From rugged Rajasthani pieces to delicate Bengali chandbalis, silver offers a bohemian and artistic edge. It’s incredibly popular for adding a unique, personal touch to any outfit.
My advice? Invest in one statement piece you love (like a Temple necklace) and build a collection of smaller, mix-and-match items around it.
