About Jewellery Styling & Care Hacks
If you have ever felt like your earlobes are giving up under the weight of heavy Chandbalis, you are not alone. My go-to hack is using a transparent support string paired with a tiny drop of skin-safe glue to shift the weight and keep the earring perfectly in place. It keeps your lobes comfortable all day long, whether it is a long wedding ceremony or an energetic sangeet night.
Beyond just buying the right pieces, knowing how to wear and maintain them is what makes the difference between an average look and a polished one. Here are some of my most-used techniques.
The Bangle Hack
Avoid using oil or petroleum jelly to squeeze into tight bangles, as this can damage the gold plating over time. Instead, slip a simple poly-pack over your hand. It creates a smooth surface for the bangle to slide on without putting any stress on the jewellery or your skin.
Necklace Layering Tips
If you want a non-bridal look that still feels grand, try layering. Combine a tight choker with a longer pearl mala or a chain pendant. When styling for a traditional Poshak, I recommend sticking to chokers or collar necklaces; mid-length pieces often clash with the neckline design and hide the intricate detailing of the outfit.
Protecting Your Earchains
Earchains add such grace, but they are delicate. Never force the hook directly into your hair, as it can break the chain. Secure a small hairpin in your hair first, then attach the hook to the pin. It protects the pearls and keeps the chain secure while you dance.
Care & Maintenance
To keep your gold-plated brass and copper alloy pieces shining:
- Always make jewellery the last thing you wear (after perfume and hairspray) and the first thing you take off.
- Store each piece in individual pouches to prevent scratching.
- If you have a question about how to style a specific piece for your neckline, reach out. We can always mix and match.
