Popular jewellery trends for Ganesh Chaturthi
Ganesh Chaturthi is a festive occasion to adorn oneself in traditional attire and complement it with stunning jewellery. As trends evolve, so do the popular jewellery choices for this auspicious occasion. “There’s a natural inclination to dress in traditional attire, complemented by jewellery that reflects cultural heritage and modern sophistication,” says Aditya Modak, CFO and COO of P N Gadgil and Sons. Below, Modak shares five jewellery trends that can embellish your Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations.

Temple jewellery: A tribute to tradition
With its intricate designs and rich history, temple jewellery is a timeless choice for Ganesh Chaturthi. The architecture of South Indian temples often inspires this type of jewellery, which typically features motifs like deities, flowers, and peacocks. Pair a heavy temple necklace with a simple silk saree or a Kanjeevaram to let the jewellery take centre stage. Add matching jhumkas and bangles for a cohesive look. For those who prefer a more understated style, a pair of temple earrings with a delicate gold chain can beautifully complement an Anarkali or lehenga.

Coloured stones: Adding a pop of vibrancy
Urban customers who seek a contemporary twist on traditional jewellery will love the trend of incorporating coloured stones. Choose a statement piece like a necklace or chandelier earrings with coloured stones and pair it with a monotone outfit to let the colours pop. For example, a red or green stone choker can add a fresh and lively vibe to a classic white or beige saree while also reflecting the auspicious colours associated with Ganesh Chaturthi.

Layered jewellery: Elegance with a modern twist
Layering is a trend that has taken the fashion world by storm, and it’s no different when it comes to jewellery. Layer multiple lengths of gold chains over a simple kurta or saree blouse for an elegant yet modern look. If you’re wearing a saree, consider draping it to show off the layered necklaces. You can also stack bangles or kadas to enhance the layered effect, giving your outfit a rich and sophisticated finish.

Mixing metals: Fusion of styles
Don’t be afraid to mix gold with rose gold or white gold pieces to create a unique and personalised look. For instance, you can pair a rose gold necklace with gold bangles or a white gold ring, adding depth and dimension to your outfit. This fusion of styles works particularly well with modern silhouettes like Indo-western outfits or lehengas, giving them a contemporary edge while still honouring traditional roots.
