TEMPLE JEWELLERY
Designs from long gone depicting gods, goddesses, sacred motifs, ornate flowers, leaves and birds are enjoying a revival in the market.“Indians are going back to their ancient roots and temple jewellery is a perfect fit for those looking for a slice of history,“ says a jeweller in Mumbai, whose clients are turning up with photographs of temple-designed ornaments for him to replicate. Although it might seem cumbersome for wearers with delicate shoulders, the beauty of temple jewellery is that it's so ornate that even the plainest attire gets a dose of glamour with it.Temple jewellery looks great on Indian as well as fusion clothing that makes use of Indian textiles or motifs.
POLKI
The rise in the price of diamonds has led to a surge in the demand for polki (uncut diamonds) combined with diamonds. The reason behind this is that a polki-and-diamond necklace set would cost a lot less than a necklace made entirely of diamonds. Whether you buy something set in exquisite patterns or opt for a pair of simple polki strands, it's a hot buy for the season. Look for designs embellished with rubies, diamonds or pearls. Trending this season are elaborate rings, bracelets and earrings in polki set in traditional patterns.
OVERSIZED STONES
Things are getting bigger (and better) this Diwali, when it comes to precious and semi-precious stones at least.Big-sized diamonds are in demand. So, instead of many small diamonds in a pave setting, hunt down a solitaire diamond in a prong setting.Solitaires are classics, so they won't ever look outdated. Experiment with the shapes of diamonds and semi-precious stones.
