This Ganpati season, fashion takes a minimalist turn as jewellery enthusiasts look to balance tradition with modern elegance. As festivities kick off, there is a clear focus on refined, understated jewellery that complements the vibrant atmosphere without overpowering it. Whether you’re attending family gatherings or offering prayers, minimalistic jewellery can elevate your festive attire with a touch of class. Here’s what experts in the jewellery industry recommend for this season.
Dipu Mehta, Managing Director, ORRA Fine Jewellery, says, “Ganpati is an auspicious occasion where spiritual symbolism can seamlessly blend with luxury. Adorning a Ganesha pendant is a perfect way to embody both style and spiritual connection during this time.”
“Our Delicate Ganesha pendant, crafted in 18Kt rose gold and stunning diamonds, is the ideal accessory for bringing spiritual energy to your festive wardrobe,” adds Mehta. This piece, versatile in its design, can be paired with both traditional and modern outfits. Mehta recommends pairing the Ganesha pendant with a pastel-colored saree or kurta set for a sophisticated look.
He adds, “Opt for a light rose or subtle makeup palette to complement the rose gold tones, and finish with a simple bindi. Keep your hairstyle fuss-free with loose waves or a sleek bun to let the pendant shine as the focal point.” This thoughtful styling advice helps maintain a polished yet effortless look, perfect for the festive atmosphere.
For those looking to embrace an even more pared-down aesthetic, Darayus Mehta, Co-founder and Director, True Diamond, highlights the practicality of minimal jewellery, especially considering the rainy and humid weather that often accompanies Ganesh Chaturthi. “Less is clearly more,” says Mehta, adding that the modern Indian woman favors simplicity with pieces like a Tennis Bracelet and solitaire earrings, which complete an elegant ensemble without feeling overdone.
Mehta also suggests a sleek pendant paired with a comfortable neck chain, accompanied by a Toi Et Moi ring for a modern twist.
For those who prefer a more artistic touch, Candere by Kalyan Jewellers offers three unique collections—the Oliva Collection, the Peacock Collection, and the Butterfly Collection—which all exude a delicate balance between heritage and modern minimalism.
The Oliva Collection, inspired by olive branches symbolizing prosperity and peace, includes gold and platinum rings, necklaces, and earrings. These elegantly simple designs are perfect for those who want to add a touch of tranquility to their festive attire.
The Peacock Collection celebrates India’s rich cultural heritage, featuring intricate designs inspired by the vibrant patterns of peacocks. Pendants, bangles, and earrings in this line are adorned with precious stones and crafted in gold, offering a minimalist yet traditional statement. The clean lines ensure that while the pieces carry cultural significance, they retain a contemporary edge, making them ideal for modern-day festivities.
Lastly, the Butterfly Collection is a tribute to transformation and grace. Inspired by the elegance of butterflies, this collection features rings, necklaces, earrings, and bracelets, all adorned with diamonds and gemstones. These pieces are perfect for adding a subtle sparkle to your outfit, embodying the beauty and delicacy of the butterfly.
Make this festive season memorable by styling yourself with jewellery that reflects both your spiritual and fashion sensibilities.
