Gold is always considered auspicious in India, so it comes as no surprise that gold jewellery is still a part of 2018’s jewellery trends, particularly during Diwali. Since time immemorial, gold jewelry has ruled the hearts of Indian women. Today, gold jewelry has taken on newer avatars. While traditional designs remain popular, there has been a shift towards minimalist designs, a fusion of gold and precious stones, gold jewelry with hints of other colors and many more. Undoubtedly, gold jewelry will always be a staple in every Indian woman’s jewelry drawer.

Maang Tikkas

Maang tikkas

Diwali is a busy time of the year, and there is a lot of socializing that happens. Everyone is at the top of his or her fashion game. Take your Diwali costume up a notch with a maang tikka. Everyone will be focussing on wearing the latest jewelry trends but will be limiting their choices to necklaces and earrings, but maang tikkas or maang pattis are an excellent choice if you’re looking to stand apart from the crowd. They’re a unique piece of jewelry, as not many people would consider opting for a headpiece.

Traditional Sets

Diwali is a time when traditions shine through. From our religious ceremonies to the food we make and the outfits we wear – everything reflects centuries of culture. What better way to complement your traditional Indian clothes than with traditional jewellery? The newest trend this Diwali comes in the form of Kundan, Polki and Meenakari sets. While a relatively new trend, these traditional pieces exude ethnicity and are etched deep in our country’s history. Opt for an opulent conventional kundan set or one that has been re-imagined from the trends of yore!

Gemstones and Pops of Color

Like most Indian festivals, Diwali, too, is filled with colors. Match the festivities around you by wearing colorful pieces of jewelry! Go the bold route with bright, sparkly gemstones – think rubies, emeralds, sapphires and every gem imaginable. If you’d prefer a more subtle hint of color, consider getting yourself a piece in rose-gold or white gold. You can also check out Tints and Tinges collection for sophisticated and fun jewelry with charming pops of color that will add an air of wonder.

Fluid Forms and Contemporary Shapes

The final trend you can try this Diwali is all about fluidity – jewellery sets in a lot of contemporary shapes and silhouettes. Think animal-inspired patterns and geometric shapes. This trend will be a hit among those with a bold personality and like to experiment with their style. If you’d like to try something new this Diwali, or merely want a dramatic look to match the bright atmosphere around you, try out Gehna’s Tessera Collection.
