Styling gold tone jewellery for everyday wear

Styling gold tone jewellery for everyday wear

Indian jewellery is usually bought for occasions and then left in a box. These three rules get it into daily rotation.

One loud piece, everything else quiet

A single temple pendant over a plain shirt reads as considered. The same pendant with jhumkas and bangles reads as a costume.

Mix the eras

An antique finish silver cuff with a modern watch works because the contrast is deliberate. Matching sets rarely suit daytime.

Respect the neckline

High necks take long chains and no choker. Open collars take a short pendant that sits at the collarbone.
