If you haven’t noticed, necklines embellished with jewelled accents are all over the place and while its a look lot of people seem to crave, its not entirely easy on the pocket and neither does its fate lie decided over the next fashion season or two as far as its longevity is concerned!

So here’s a way you can make that look work for you! If its Simi’s look you need and want, just pin a pretty kundan ‘maang tikka’, or any gemstone (of your preference) ‘maang tikka’ onto the neckline! If its a more understated look, like Minissha’s, you crave after, then all you have to do is pin an elegant brooch on that neckline. One screams for attention, another makes a demure point, either way, its a great way to make a statement for now!

This picture of Padma Lakshmi’s is from a Zac Posen dinner held in November of last year but even though the picture is from the archives, the look is such a classic, I had to write about it!

Its once again about fusing two totally different looks/things and making it work! The Indian jewellery looks spectacular with the plunging neckline of her dress.

And here are some looks that can be teemed with western garb for the same style appeal!

I hate the cinched, pleating on her dress, its so unflattering but barring that, I love the silver grey of her dress which you know is a big trend for this Fall! And what is unexpected is her orange stole! Not a combination that immediately comes to mind but it totally works!

I have been waiting to write this post for a while now. I was really excited when I found this cool and unique jewelry style and couldn’t wait to share it with the rest of y’all!

I found this, as part of my research for Kundan jewelry. I never knew this kind of style existed. I am familiar with “filigree” work, but that is mostly done in silver. I had never seen similar kind of work done with gold.

I found from my research that it is a 400 year old art and the jewelry is created by fusing 23K gold with colored handmade glass. The common glass colors are mostly red, green and blue because they mimic the tones of rubies, emeralds and sapphires. The designs can vary depicting animals like peacocks or elephants or can also depict day-to-day life, legends and even hunting scenes.

What’s even better is that there are so many choices out there to select from and one should definately own one piece of Thewa jewelry.

Now, the prices for these pieces can vary based on the gold being used. You can have gold plated casings on the glass vs actual 23K gold casings.

I like this set because you can wear the pendant with a simple gold chain and it would work with any kind of outfit.

This is such a classic piece. It has that “khaandaani” look to it with the three strand “maharani” style design.

Thewa and Kundan together! Fabulous! The price is quite steep for this piece( $1487.50) but the design is exquisite.

I love this set for its modern feel. The understated design in the earrings do make it look very traditional and at $937, it is a little more reasonable than the Kundan set.

Enjoy the selections!
