jewellery
The right jewellery has the ability to shift the entire tone of an outfit without changing the outfit itself. A single base look can move across multiple moods depending on how it is styled, from traditional grandeur to understated elegance or festive glamour. Heavy kundan sets with layered polki work bring a formal, heritage-heavy finish, while lighter pearl jewellery with delicate gold detailing creates a softer, more effortless feel. Statement jhumkay, stacked kangan and bold ring pieces can instantly elevate a simple silhouette into something occasion-ready, while minimal choker styles keep the look restrained and versatile. Take inspiration from these pieces by ‘Bareilly Baazar’. This week, You! shares how jewellery alone can elevate one outfit into multiple style directions for maximum versatility…
A grand kundan necklace layered with intricate polki work sets the tone, each stone placed in detailed Mughal-inspired craftsmanship. Heavy earrings add traditional weight and movement, while finely worked bangles bring structured elegance to the wrists. A bold ring anchors the styling, finishing with a delicate arrangement for a complete heritage composition.
Refined layering begins with a pearl and kundan haath phool detailed in fine gold filigree, paired with a structured choker that sits close with clean craftsmanship. Subtle meenakari work runs through the pieces, adding soft colour and balance.
Centre focus falls on a kundan choker neck piece set with luminous polki stones, finished with delicate pearl latkan that move with ease. Sculpted jhumkay paired with pearl saharay frame the face with regal structure. A pearl and kundan haath phool style bracelet blends pearls and gold in intricate detail, while a statement polki ring completes the composition with vintage depth.
Intricately designed earrings combine polki and meenakari work for a detailed finish, leading into a kundan-set choker that sits structured at the neckline with gold craftsmanship and coloured stone accents. Stacked bangles bring traditional layering to the wrists, enriched with fine zardozi-inspired detailing completes the composition with balanced symmetry.
