“I gifted myself this stunning Manish Arora for Amrapali ring for my birthday last year, and let me tell you, it’s a total conversation-starter. The tall design, bright gold colour, and flecks of rani pink and orange enamel make this a statement piece worth showing off. Especially if you, like me, are all about talking with animated gestures!”
SHOP NOW: Manish Arora for Amrapali Gold-plated Naro Ring (Rs 4,200 approx.)
“I’m a lucky girl. A lot of my favourite pieces in my closet were presents *flashes her prettiest grin*. This lovely stone-set Accessorize neckpiece was gifted to me by my best friend’s sister. I think what I love most about this piece is the sea-greenish colour and how it’s offset by the gold. Honestly, I wear this with almost everything. Adding pops of colour to my looks is really my thing and this one does that perfectly.”

SHOP NOW: Accessorize Gold-toned Necklace (Rs 941)
“My style is minimalist. And that extends to my choice of jewellery as well. I picked up this pair of gold-plated round hoops from Amrapali last year, and I love it ’cause it’s a piece I can totally flaunt with just about any ensemble. If I’m in the mood to glam it up a notch , I put it on with western wear and the gold hoops slay it. And if I want to sit pretty in my festive ethnic wear (read: Diwali parties!), and don’t want to go all OTT with my choice of bling, then this is a sleek one to flaunt.”
— Aindrila Mitra, Managing Editor
SHOP NOW: Silver Gold Plated Round Amethyst Drop Earrings (Rs 1,300)
“On the rare occassions when I do veer away from my everyday stud earrings, I like to make quite an impact! These gorgeous half-chandbali earrings in emerald, CZ and pearl, designed by my mother, are my favourite because they’re just so pretty without being OTT or tacky. The earrings don’t weigh much, so I know I’m usually not tempted to take them off and eventually misplace them. *rolls eyes*”

SHOP NOW: Zaveri Pearls Green & Gold-Toned Drop Earrings (Rs 299)
“I’m all about chokers this season! They’re super versatile, can be layered and look absolutely rad with practically any look. Also, they’re completely on-trend. #Love. You’ll always see me mixing different types of textures and patterns, and creating something fun and funky that’s completely up my style alley.”

SHOP NOW: Black Choker with Bar Pendant Necklace (Rs 699)
“This Claire’s Double-Finger Rose ring was a gift to myself post my first year mid-terms at university. I just wanted to treat myself to something pretty. I saw it at the store and had an instant ‘I need that in my life’ moment. The funny-bit is that it used to have this silver shine, but over the years has turned into this amazing oxidized piece, which gives it a Gothic-boho vibe that I love! Being a sucker for anything that’s slightly off-beat, this dual finger ring has been my go-to piece of jewellery for the last 5 years, no matter where I go. The best part? It’s an amazing conversation starter and a great wing-man too!”
— Tatiana Dias, Fashion & Beauty Writer
SHOP NOW: Jewels Galaxy Artistically Crafted Diamond Double Finger Free Sinze Ring (Rs 699)
“If there’s one accessory that I totally dig, come hail or storm, it’s this chic boho necklace from Style Fiesta. The intricate patterns sync with the metal to the T and instantly completes your look, notwithstanding whether you choose to wear a western or ethnic ensemble. This busy tribal neckpiece makes a solid fashion statement, something that hardly any of my other accessories do!”
— Japleen Kaur, Lifestyle Writer
SHOP NOW: Sansar India Oxidized Coins Tassel Pendant Long Necklace (Rs 445)
“When it comes to jewellery, I believe in making a statement with one bold piece. It’s almost magical how a boring outfit can transform into a jazzy one with just one element! My favourite piece of jewellery, among all the junk I own, HAS to be this H&M gold choker. It’s got just the right amount of bling, and gold is definitely the answer to everything jewellery related, right?”
—Meghana Choraria, Social Media Executive
SHOP NOW: Square Cut-Out Choker Necklace (Rs 420)
“I know it’s hard to believe, but I have had this bracelet for the last 8 years. It’s my go-to when I’m dressing up for any traditional or family function. I’ve been in love with oxidized jewellery since time immemorial and, fortunately for me, this metal never seems to go out of the fashion circuit either. #Win. This bracelet still works like a charm as far as I’m concerned.”
