How you can Steal the Spotlight with Cocktail Dresses and Gold Jewelry?

Jewellery for wedding
Do you feel a strange kind of excitement slowly rising in the air? Well, it’s no wonder, wedding season is here again! Every woman can finally put aside all the everyday clothes and don those gorgeous designer outfits and jewelry that accentuate her beauty and make her feel like a Goddess.
 
While traditional lehngas, sarees and anarkalis can be truly mesmerizing, the most fun you can have is when shopping for cocktail parties. The cocktail party, with its drinks, appetizers and dancing, is the one event in which you can deviate from the traditional and experiment with a modern, swanky look.

So here are some fun ideas for the trendiest cocktail attires and some essential jewelry advice to go with it.
Bold and Chic – Dare to be different and yet totally in vogue? Get into the party mood with a stylish Dhoti Saree. Traditional colours of bronze or gold with a plain black or red long sleeved choker blouse can look uber-cool. Wear pumps and a purse that match your saree or blouse.

Jewelry Advice: While two matching gold bracelets and heavy gold jhumkas will complement the outfit well, you can altogether skip the necklace since the colour of the saree itself would be shimmery enough.

Elegantly Warm –To avoid freezing throughout a winter wedding, consider the elegant gowns or anarkalis with heavily embroidered jackets made from rich materials like velvet, satin or silk.

Jewelry Advice: White gold, yellow gold or diamond is the best jewelry to complement your jacket. Add a large cocktail ring to large dangling earrings and you will be ready to walk the red carpet.

Mix it Up – Catch the spotlight with a unique fusion outfit of a saree gowns or a gown that looks like a saree. In colours ranging from gold to lighter shades like pink, this dress gives you the ultimate combination of grace, beauty and style.

Jewelry Advice: Bare neck designs allow you to use your heavy necklaces. If your embroidery is heavy, go for the more delicate yellow or white gold bracelets while with plain designs, you can experiment with larger kadas, gemstone cuffs or stacked bangles. Remember to pile your hair up high to flaunt your dangling earrings.

Glam it Up – Of course, your favorite knee-length cocktail dress is an evergreen choice for such occasions. There is a lot of room for experimentation with dress colours like aqua, grey, almond, strawberry pink, custard, etc. and also with mismatched accessories like skin coloured heels with a mint coloured dress.

Jewelry Advice – With funky colours, it’s best to stick with metallic jewelry of gold and silver. While you have a vast choice in Indian or western bracelets, add a matching ring and stud earrings to complete your outfit.

If any of these ideas appeal to you, remember some basic rules for cocktail attires before buying. Avoid overdoing your jewelry; it has to be just right for your outfit.

Interesting Jewelry Trends that Every Indian Girl Ought to Know

Trends these days are changing so rapidly with time and age. Some items and accessories we used to wear two years ago may not be a good idea anymore. If you are looking to update your wardrobe read on and find out what’s the latest trend out there.

The Teen Dream
Following the new style mantras of teen trendsetters like Rihanna, Vanessa Hudgens, Miley Cyrus or Taylor Swift, we found that firstly, whether layered, beaded or metal, every teenager must own a statement necklace.

Metal cuff bracelets and multiple bangles are in things these days. The more stylish gold or metal bracelets are kept for party wear while a fun day out with friends calls for a funky beaded or charm bracelet.
stud earrings
It is also important to invest in a nice pair of stud earrings, preferably gold or silver so they can go with anything. Although imitation and junk jewellery can be fun and versatile, you’re going to need a couple of items of real jewelry.

 





For the Woman Who Means Business
Take a look at some of the most powerful, contemporary businesswomen in India like Ipsita Dasgupta of GE South Asia, Kirthiga Reddy of Facebook India or Nita Ambani of Reliance Foundation. What do they all have in common?

Their impeccable outfits are always sober, crisp and business-like and their accessories are minimalistic. You will notice more of stud diamond earrings, a simple diamond necklace or gemstone pendant and if the necklace is layered, it will have simple chains or a single colour.

Think of what your work demands from you and choose your jewelry accordingly. If your work includes presentations and meetings, concentrate the jewelry around the face while if you use your hands more, include more of rings and bracelets.

Thin elegant rings or chunky cluster rings are both trending in the corporate world, while there are many options in bracelets. However, the biggest fashion faux pas is noisy or funky jewelry so make sure you avoid those.

So it’s time to invest in yourself and get some good quality jewelry. But if you’re worried about the cost, there are some trustworthy online jewelry stores like CaratLane.com which specially provide reasonably priced unique designs in office-wear jewelry like earrings, necklaces and bracelets for women



The High Life

Thanks to beautiful Indian Divas like Sonam Kapoor and Deepika Padukone, the jewelry trends for the high class, social, partying personality now includes large chunky dangling earrings, especially jhumkas with elegant saris.

Their large diamond and gemstone necklaces are to die for, something like the design of the Charlotte Ethereal Necklace. The trick here is to avoid overdoing the jewelry. So if the neckpieces and earrings are heavy, go light on the wrist or just match your necklace with your bracelet and underplay the earrings.

On the other hand, for older women who prefer the traditional style, saris with cluster earrings paired with a large mangalsutra or diamond or gold necklace is the best way to go.

Trendy Ways to Wear Your New Gold Jewelry

Change exists in our world for a good reason. Without change, there would be no excitement, nothing to look forward to and no creativity. That is why we have changing trends in fashion. Trends can be exciting and innovative and can bring some welcome novelty into our lives.

It’s always useful to stay a step ahead of the others when it comes to know-how in fashion as you can be the one who brings the change in your circle of friends, colleagues and relatives. Many people catch on the trends in clothes very quickly, but what about trends in jewelry?

Nowadays, it’s the accessories that make or break the outfit. Even if it’s a casual top and jeans, if you wear the right bling, it completely transforms your look. So let’s check out some of the cool new jewelry trends you can adopt with your wardrobe.

Mismatched and Mixed Earrings:


The latest buzz is mismatched earrings where you can pair up different earrings for each ear. The earrings can be of the same colour but different shapes and sizes or can be the same shape but of different sizes. It’s actually pretty simple and a lot of fun. Talking about mixing things up, wearing hoops and studs together too has turned out to be quite a rage.

Arm Cuffs and Chained Bracelets:

Gold or brass upper arm cuffs look great with short sleeves. Wearing multiple thin cuffs on the arm can actually look very chic whether with casuals or formals. If you are on a bolder side, you can even get a hold on gemstone studded statement cuffs. However, if you’re more of a bracelet fan, a chained bracelet with intricate chains interlacing between your wrists and fingers can look exceptionally beautiful.

Ear Cuffs and Jackets:

Ear Cuffs
A very novel idea for earrings, ear cuffs is jewelry that embraces the side of your ear. These interesting earrings can be worn along with studs and the best part is that many cuffs are clip-on and so you don’t necessarily need multiple piercings. Ear jackets too are a cool novelty which wrap around a stud or adorn the earlobe, enhancing the beauty of the ears. But apart from these, the newest rage picking up everywhere is the innovative Sui Dhaaga collection with dangling earrings adorn both sides of the earlobes in the most delicate and feminine fashion.

Necklaces:

You will find many celebrities sporting beautiful layered necklaces, especially gold chains with mismatched pendants on each layer. However, chokers too are a hot trend, whether in pearl, diamond or gold and they can really set you a class apart from the others. Layered necklaces or choker…confused between the two? Not to worry, you also have the option to go for a chocker with layered chains on it.

Everything you can possibly imagine probably already exists in the fashion world. To find it, all you need to do is look in the right places. Trusted online jewelry stores like CaratLane.com are some of the best places to go if you are looking for the latest trends as well as authentic gold jewelry. So now that you know what’s new, go ahead and start experimenting with the latest trends and be a fashion leader in your own way.
