Add a dash of elegance to your jewellery

It is the season for bold, statement jewellery that can elevate your party dress into something positively festive. Up the elegance quotient of your dress with string necklaces, bangles and rings, says an expert. Hardik Kapoor, founder of jewelsify.com, lists a few statement-making options to inspire you to ring in 2016 with festive style.

Statement jewellery: Add the edge to your dress with string necklaces. Colourful gemstones are a refreshing choice that will have a lot of appeal this year. These bring out the passion and enthusiasm of youthfulness. There is also a rise in demand of jewellery for men and that trend will cascade down to the next year. It could be anything from rings and bracelets to cufflinks and chains.

Bangles: Let your intentions shine with bangles. Stacked bangles were a huge jewellery trend in 2015, and will remain in vogue this year too. Mixing a palette of colourful metals -- from radiant rose gold to sleek sterling silver cuffs -- creates a statement style that feels fresh and fierce.

Rings: Glamorous rings are making a huge comeback. They provide an elegant finishing touch to any ensemble. If you have a knack for elegance, then opt for a stud solitaire ring.

Earrings: Fashionable and unconventional earrings in precious and semi-precious stones are pretty much what every woman desires. You can boost the “wow factor” of any outfit with tassel earrings in gold or rose gold and get more mileage out of your standard ensembles. Show off some old-fashioned pair of gemstone danglers. Super sparkly chandelier earrings, pave encrusted danglers and drop earrings with pearl are a must for your jewellery collection this party season.

Necklaces: They are perfect for pairing with almost any dress neckline. A gemstone station necklace adds a chic pop of colour to your party look. Whether set with cool-toned stones such as topaz and moonstone, or rich hues like purple, station necklaces have an elegance that can be enjoyed for years to come.
