Vintage styling with traditional Kolhapuri Jewellery
When it comes to adopting fashion trends, the world is one big village. Maximalist fashion is now back with a bang, with its bold colours, intricate details and oversized accessories. In no time, it has reached Indian shores too.
When we talk about maximalism in jewellery, India doesn’t need to look west. Much of India’s rich jewellery-making heritage embodies bold design aesthetics that fit in with maximalist fashion. Moreover, Indian stylists, jewellers, and designers have always adopted, improvised and incorporated traditional Indian jewellery motifs into all types of fashion and style.
Therefore, with maximalism or any other trend in the fashion world, traditional gold jewellery often finds its way into contemporary fashion.
Traditional Jewellery - Today and Everyday
Be it for a special occasion, a festival or a marriage you plan to attend, a piece of your heirloom gold jewellery can add grandeur to your look. The mesmerising Kolhapuri gold jewellery in your collection is one such example of heritage combined with trends.
Here are a few Kolhapuri heirloom favourites that you can consider for your everyday and special occasions –
Neckpieces
A classic gold chain with a pendant is a staple for any occasion. They come in all forms, from heavier intricate designs to simplistic ones. They can be layered with traditional temple jewellery neckpieces, making it an elegant combination for special occasions. Kolhapuri choker-like neckpieces like Thushi and Putli Haar are all ideal options in this category.
If you are looking for a more layered neckpiece, Kolhapuri Saaj and Chandra Haar offer a heavier and more elaborate look. A Peshwai Saaj, on the other hand, can complement a kurti just as it does a Nauvari saree.
Gold stud earrings
Gold stud earrings can accentuate your facial profile while maintaining the simplicity of everyday wear. From traditional round and conical designs to modern geometric patterns, you can pick and choose one from your family's gold jewellery collection.
Returning to the rich Kolhapuri gold jewellery legacy, check if the intricate Bugdi in your jewellery box can be teamed up with one of your modern Indian dresses.
Bangles and Bracelets
A delicate bracelet or bangles set in your jewellery box can be your everyday companion for all types of fashion choices.
If you want something more intricate, the handcrafted brilliance of a Kolhapuri Todey would be unmatched. Or pair them up with bangles to give yourself a more traditional persona for the day.
