A waist chain is an accessory that has been trending in the fashion world. For the Indian version of it, we have always had kamarband. Intricately designed and embellished with various stones, this traditional piece enhances your silhouette and adds an elegant touch to your attire. Wear over your saree or your lehenga to add an extra oomph factor. Secret styling tip – Wear your favourite necklace as a kamarband to match your outfit.
Earring chains

Earring chains, or jhumar, evoke a sense of nostalgia, reminiscent of the days when our mothers adorned themselves with these exquisite pieces for every celebration. Safe to say, my mamma’s earring chains are a part of my jewellery box now, and you should dig through your mom’s too! This earring chain, also traditionally known as “sankali,” has its origins in Mughal-era jewellery. It is often worn with jhumka earrings and secured in the hair with a small hook. These chains, often embellished with delicate pearls or shimmering stones, add an opulent touch to your earrings. A pair of traditional jhumkas enhanced by a beautifully designed earring chain cascades elegantly into the hair, creating a very whimsical and mesmerising look. Mix and match your earring chains with your jhumkas to explore creative styling possibilities.
Braid jewellery

These exquisite pieces have been recently worn by our favourite celebrities at recent festivities, celebrations, and red carpet events. Owning these trending designs not only elevates your style but also allows you to make a striking impression on any occasion. With their intricate craftsmanship and timeless appeal, these jewellery pieces are must-haves for anyone looking to enhance their collection, as they effortlessly blend tradition with contemporary elegance, ensuring you stand out and captivate everyone around you.
