Festive Jewellery to Add to Your Collection This April 2024

We just celebrated a beautiful Vishu and welcomed a glorious new year. But when it comes to fashion, there is no rest because our festivals never end! Akshaya Tritiya, Onam, and Navaratri are all upcoming festivals this year, and to be on top of your game, updating your jewellery collection is a must. Festivals are times when families get together to celebrate our roots, and traditional jewellery and garments add a special charm and beauty to such events. In this article, we will look into some of the most iconic traditional jewellery pieces you could add to your festive jewellery collection.
 

Polki designs

Polki is one of India’s most iconic and unique jewellery designs. With a history spanning over 2500 years, it is a principal piece in bridal jewellery collections and is especially popular in the north of India. Polki jewellery is distinguished among other diamond jewellery designs because it uses unpolished, uncut diamonds without any kind of processing. Polki diamond jewellery demands fine craftsmanship and creativity and can take a significant amount of time to make each and every piece. Polki’s rough, uncut diamonds hold timeless classic beauty, which is why they were extremely popular among all royal families in India for a long time.

Polki jewellery is now widely popular all over the world, and apart from the big statement pieces we often see in bridal collections, polki designs are incorporated into simpler designs and minimalist looks too. So if you want to brighten up the upcoming festivals with elegance and beauty, start your search for a gorgeous polki set today.
 

Palakka mala

The palakka mala is one of the most distinguished designs in the list of Kerala traditional jewellery pieces. It is a must-have in any Kerala bridal jewellery set. The enchanting dark green shade combined with the gold gives palakka mala a captivating quality and uniqueness. Traditionally, the palakka design has leaf, claw-shaped, and mango-shaped motives hanging from the main gold chain, and they are adorned with green crystal or glass inlays. In some designs, it’s a mix of green and red.

Apart from the traditional necklaces, you can see the palakka design in chokers, bangles, earpieces, and pendants, and they look especially good when they are paired with the traditional white and gold Kerala saree. A palakka mala is the perfect accessory you need for the upcoming onam; it’s simple, charming, and traditional.
 

Jimikki

The jimikki or jhumkka earrings are one of the most beloved traditional jewellery designs in all parts of India, including Kerala. Gold jimikki earrings have been popular in Kerala for a long time and are worn by women during festivals along with other gold pieces. The bell-shaped earrings hanging from the hook are usually characterised by intricate designs that remind you of flowers, and the studs are often adorned with beautiful crystals, gems, or diamonds.

Jimikki earrings go well with all Indian traditional garments, and they come in different sizes and intricate designs incorporating different metals and stones, so it is very easy to find something that complements your personal style. Jimikki’s are the embodiment of grace and tradition, so they're a must-have in your festive jewellery collection.
 

Meenakari

Meenakari is another distinguished and awe-inspiring jewellery design from India that has captivated us over the years. The colourful and bright meenakari designs are what you need in your jewellery collection if you are truly trying to embrace the vibrant festive spirit. The Meenakari design decorates elaborately designed metal ( gold, silver, and copper) surfaces with vibrant enamels, which are made from powdered glass infused with metal oxides.

The vivid colours and extremely intricate designs make meenakari jewellery incredibly fascinating, and it truly captures the vibrancy of Indian culture. Meenakari statement pieces are essential in your festive jewellery collection because the spirit of our festivals can’t be captured any better than this, and a statement meenakari piece can take any simple outfit from a 10 to 100 and can be incorporated in both traditional and modern styles.
 

Navaratna jewellery

Navaratna jewellery designs hold deep cultural significance and are famed for their beauty and elegance. Navaratna jewellery usually features nine gemstones, representing the nine planets in the solar system, and wearing this jewellery is said to bring energy balance to the wearer's life. Diamond, emerald, ruby, pearl, yellow sapphire, red coral, blue sapphire, hessonite, and cat’s eye are the nine gems featured in Navaratna jewellery. The traditional significance of the Nava Ranta makes it a perfect addition to your festive collection, and it can shine as a stylish statement piece in the form of a choker or a ring.
