When we talk about fashion, the spotlight often falls on clothing – the fabrics, the cuts, the silhouettes. But let’s not forget the real unsung heroes of style: the jewellery. A stunning gown may steal the initial glance, but the jewellery adds depth, character, and a finishing touch that makes any outfit unforgettable. This year at India Couture Week, while the fashion world buzzed about the latest fabrics and designs, the runway showcased something just as captivating: a fresh wave of new style jewellery that is anything but ordinary.
From daring mixed-metal pairings to modern twists on traditional artistry, the runway dazzled the audiences with some jaw-dropping jewellery styles. But these latest jewellery trends aren’t confined to the world of glitz and glam. They can easily find a way into your everyday wardrobe and we’re going to tell you how…
Mixing Metals: The Art of Contrast
The days of sticking to a single metal are long gone. This season, jewellery designers embraced the art of mixing metals, combining gold, silver, and rose gold into single pieces or layered looks that felt effortlessly chic.
Why is it such a big trend now? Mixing metals allows for endless experimentation and personalisation. No longer do you have to worry about everything matching perfectly – this trend encourages you to break free from those rules and create something uniquely your own.
Diamonds
Meet
Gemstones
Another trend lighting up the runway was the vibrant interplay between diamonds and coloured gemstones like emeralds, sapphires, tourmalines and rubies. This combination of colour and sparkle gives you the best of both worlds for your looks!
Why is it trending?
This trend is an invitation to get creative. No two pieces look the same, and the layering possibilities are endless. Plus, it also adds a pop of colour to monochrome, minimalistic outfits. Think daily wear diamond bangles paired with chunky rings featuring coloured gemstones. Or even a diamond necklace set studded with emeralds or rubies.
Traditional
is Bold
This year, Tanishq’s Exotic India Collection brought the rich legacy of Indian craftsmanship to the runway, with standout pieces from Vilandi Jadau to Victorian Polki and Rajwada Kundan designs. And the boldest fashionistas have been flaunting Indian designs like these on their modern outfits, making it the latest jewellery trend to try!
Why you should try this trend?
In a world where Western styles have long dominated, there’s something incredibly empowering about reclaiming and showcasing Indian heritage through jewellery. Who says you can only wear traditional jewellery with silk saree or lehengas? Break the rules – pair that diamond necklace set with a crisp blazer or your go-to maxi dress. It’s as trendy as it is timeless.
Fashion’s greatest power is its adaptability. So go ahead and bring a little runway magic into your everyday life, and let your jewellery tell the story of your personal style!
