Bling on smartly while travelling

Pick a few favourite and versatile jewellery pieces that you can mix and match while you travel, says an expert.

Jewellery designer and gemological expert Akassh K Aggarwal shares what pieces you can pack for your next adventure:

• Versatile and convertible: These pieces make packing convenient because it does the work of more than one necklace and your travel companions will never know it's the same piece.

• Light for feet: When you choose to slip into shorts, skirts or summer dresses, you can wear anklets.

• Pearl earrings: They won't get in your way while you're navigating through airports. Besides, they add sophistication to the overall look of the outfit.

• Your favourite piece from every day: Be it a wedding ring, simple bracelet or small gold chain, there are a few pieces that we put on every day. They should definitely be incorporated in your suitcase.

• A dash of colour: Pick jewellery with pop colours because they have the ability to instantly make a simple black dress chic.

• Sparkle and shine: Add a little sparkle to an outfit by wearing a pair of hoop earrings. It is easier than packing another dress.
