Holi celebrations are all about enthusiasm and joy, apart from the vibrant colours that mark the festivities says Aditya Modak, co-founder of Gargi by P N Gadgil & Sons
Holi celebrations are all about enthusiasm and joy, apart from the vibrant colours that mark the festivities. As we gear up to celebrate this multi-hued festival, how can we forget to complement what we wear with the perfect jewellery for the occasion? From the traditional reds and yellows to the more contemporary pastels, here is how you can think out of the box this time and select jewellery that matches the festive colours.
Red is classic
Red is about love, energy, and enthusiasm, making it a quintessential Holi colour. If you want to wear something red, go for gold jewellery with intricate designs. Take out those Kundan or Polki sets to add that touch of traditional elegance, and red and gold bangles or a statement necklace to elevate your Holi look.
Yellow is lively
Yellow is often known as the colour of prosperity and happiness, so it is also a popular choice during Holi. If you are going for yellow attire, complement it with contrasting jewelry in cool tones like turquoise or emerald. Even oxidized silver jewellery can be a great choice to add that contemporary edge to your festive ensemble.
Green is glorious
Green symbolizes nature and new beginnings and is another significant Holi colour. You can pair gold or silver jewellery with emeralds or green gemstones for your green outfit. Throw in Jhumkas or chaandbalis in these shades to add a touch of sophistication to your festive look.
Blue is vibrant
The colour blue symbolizes the divine and the vastness of the sky. It is a popular choice for Holi celebrations, and if you are considering wearing this colour, match it up with silver jewellery adorned with blue gemstones like sapphires or topaz. Add some statement rings or bracelets to give a modern twist to your traditional Holi ensemble.
Purple is soothing
Purple is equated to luxury and spirituality and is a very regal colour. A purple attire can thus be paired with jewellery featuring amethysts or other purple gemstones. Add a sleek pendant or cocktail ring for that glamorous look without overpowering the subtlety of the colour.
Pastels are delightful
In recent years, pastel shades have gained popularity. Be it soft pink, mint green, or powder blue, they have a delicate charm. If you are opting for a pastel ensemble, choose minimalistic jewellery in rose gold or white gold. Enhance this look with delicate studs, layered necklaces, or dainty bracelets.
Multicoloured extravaganza
Opt for multicolored jewelry for those who love to embrace the spirit of Holi with a riot of colours. Pieces featuring a combination of gemstones or intricate minakari work can beautifully complement your vibrant Holi attire.
During a festival like Holi, the right kind of jewellery can enhance what you are wearing. There will always be that one perfect piece of jewellery to accentuate what you wear. So, as you gear up to revel in the joyous festival, let your jewellery shine as brightly as the colours you'll be surrounded by.
