Jewellery for Every Age: Elegant Pieces for Different Life Stages

Jewellery, especially gold jewellery, is an irreplaceable part of growing up in India. Since birth, we receive gold and silver jewellery as gifts, and throughout our lifetime we enjoy wearing them. We even have celebrations surrounding purchasing gold, and dressing up and wearing the prettiest jewels you have during festivals is the norm here. The intricate craftsmanship of Indian artisans and the brilliantly beautiful designs that have been popular for centuries are something only we can boast of. In every stage of life, Indian women can shine with elegance with jewels that accentuate and reflect who they are. There are no rules in fashion and styling as to who can wear what, and what you wear is entirely up to you and your sense of style, but in this article, we will discuss the general preferences among age groups and styling tips for jewellery.

Childhood

In India, itsy-bitsy toddlers and even infants can be seen rocking gold and silver jewels. Mothers love dressing up their tiny tots in the best fits and tiny shining jewels, and relatives and friends tend to gift gold jewels to babies on special occasions. Whether you are buying jewellery for your own little one or to gift it to someone, don’t buy complicated pieces. Toddlers and tiny babies tend to play with anything they can get their hands on, and you can't predict how fast they will put something into their mouths. So pay special attention when it comes to rings and jewels that they can easily take off and play with. Go for simple chains, traditional baby bangles, and tiny jimikki or drop earrings when you shop for babies. Anklets are also traditionally worn by little children, so if you are visiting a friend or relative who has a tiny tot, gifting a silver or gold anklet is a good idea. Children's jewellery is often saved as heirlooms to pass down, so engraving something meaningful is also something you could try.

Teenage

Teenage is a curious time; it’s a time for experimentation and rebellion. Teenage is when we try various unrelated things to find our true style, and this journey can continue well into adulthood. However, in general, today’s teens prefer minimalistic and modern designs when it comes to daily wear jewellery. Even though teens generally love minimalistic and understated jewellery, they love to switch to traditional and intricate Indian designs or fusion designs when it comes to special occasions. Trendy bracelets, earrings, pendants, delicate chains, layered necklaces, and oxidized silver pieces can all reflect the spirit of teenage. If your teen loves a dash of colour in everything, find their birthstone and look for playful gemstone pieces.

Adulthood

In the early 20s, everyone goes through a massive transformation, and by then most will have their own sense of style. Elegant, trendy, and fashionable 20s are a wonderful time to show off your sense of style. Find statement pieces you can wear to work daily, like a chic chain and customized pendant or special earrings. Be sure that you have a chunky choker or neckpiece to wear to special occasions. Keep pieces that can elevate simple outfits in case you need to transform a work look into a party look. During this period, enjoy the new trends, bring back old ones, raid your mother’s old jewellery box, and explore and experiment!

Middle age

The wild 20s are over, and by this time you have a definite style and know what you like and don't like. Middle age is where you go all out and look like a sophisticated queen on special and traditional occasions with dazzling necklaces, earrings, and bangles, and look extremely elegant with a stud earring and your signature pendant the next day at work.

Senior years

One thing about Indian ladies: we never stop being iconic when it comes to our sense of style. Classic and graceful Indian jewellery that exudes timeless elegance is favoured by senior Indian ladies. Gold bangles, traditional chains, pendants, nose studs, gemstone rings, and beautiful big gold studs are especially popular among the senior crowd and they look so sophisticated wearing them.
