Multi-Sapphire Pendant

Mandala is a Sanskrit word which means ‘circle’. So usually a mandala is series of intricate concentric circles with other patterns within it. This spiritual symbol is commonly found in Hinduism, Buddhism and some aspects of Jainism. Just how there is no endpoint in a circle, the circular design of the mandala is symbolic that life is never-ending and everything is connected. Within the circular patterns you will find symbols that are common in most mandalas. The centre of the mandala is a dot which is a symbol that is considered to be free of dimensions, the dot is surrounded by lines and geometrical patterns that symbolize the universe and this is encompassed by an outer circle which represents the cyclical nature of life. As per Buddhism they represent the presence of Buddha’s mind in an abstract form which is usually represented as a wheel, tree, flower or jewel.

Gehna’s delicate Mandala collection is a representation of the cosmos and our relationship with the mystical infinite. It is inspired by the geometric figures symbolizing wholeness. Wearing these delicate hand-crafted, gold pieces every day is a perfect way to reconnect with your spiritual core and let the universal energy resonate from within you. Gehna’s exquisite mandala pendants, gold earrings and bracelets are handcrafted in 18k Gold and are studded with brilliant gemstones.

Diamond Pendant

The versatility of the Mandala collection is that it can be worn with any outfit and on any occasion. Take the Latticed Diamond and 18k Gold pendant or the Axial Gold and Rosecut Diamond pendants, these delicate circular patterned pendants can be worn as everyday jewellery or occasionally. It can be paired with a simple linen maxi dress, kurta, or a pastel block printed, cotton sari.

These journeys are usually in levels, the first level is usually about understanding the unity in the cosmos and then it is about the individual finding their own place within this cosmos. In Hinduism, the mandala is sometimes drawn as a circle enclosing a square with a deity on either side; this is used to help with yoga and meditation.

Mandalas have many benefits from improving sleep to enhancing self-esteem. It is known to foster a sense of connectedness with one’s self and others and bring about self-acceptance. So bring home a piece of Gehna’s magnificent mandala collection and stay connected to your spiritual self.

Wear it in the Right Order

Silver can be a very finicky metal, there are plenty of triggers that can cause it to tarnish. To keep your jewelry shiny, you need to shield it from as many chemicals as possible. When you’re getting ready to go out, make sure your silver jewelry is the last thing you put on before heading out. This protects it to a large extent from your lotions, perfumes, hair spray and makeup. By contrast, when you return home, your silver jewelry should be the first thing you remove. Again, this prevents it from coming into contact with harmful chemicals. It’s also important that you don’t wear silver jewelry while swimming, doing dishes or having a shower.

Store them in Airtight Containers or Bags as Tarnish is Caused Due to Exposure to Air

To slow down the tarnishing process, your silver jewelry should come into contact with as little air as possible. Wrap each individual piece of silver in tissue and store it in airtight Ziploc bags. You could even store them in air-tight containers if you have them. Never store rubber bands with silver or use rubber bands to close bags containing silver. As rubber bands begin to age, they release sulphur, which can accelerate tarnishing. One of the most effective ways you can prevent tarnishing is to store silver with silica packets. Silica packets are generally found in shoe boxes or with sunglasses to remove excess moisture. Instead of throwing them in the trash, store your silver with them to keep it looking as good as new. If you don’t have any silica packets lying around, a stick of chalk will work just as well.

Polish it Occasionally with a Lint-Free Cloth to Avoid Scratches and Maintain Shine

Silver is a very soft metal and can easily get scratched if you aren’t careful. Don’t try to remove tarnish with an abrasive cloth because this can just make things worse. Instead, search for soft anti-tarnish wipes that can work miracles against tarnish. These wipes are soaked in a solution that can absorb excess oxygen and sulphur from the air. Both oxygen and sulphur are like kryptonite for your silver. By preventing them from coming into contact with them, anti-tarnish wipes can keep your silver tarnish-free. However, these wipes are only effective as a preventative treatment. Once tarnish sets in, they won’t be able to do much to remove it. So to prevent your jewelry from getting tarnished in the first place, wipe it down regularly with anti-tarnish wipes.

If the Pieces are Too Fragile, Take them to a Professional Jeweler for a Thorough Cleaning

If you have very delicate earrings you’re afraid might get damaged if you try to treat it yourself, leave it to the professionals. Professional treatment is also your only option if your jewelry is severely tarnished. Jewelry experts have special equipment that can remove layers of tarnish that have built up and reveal sparkling silver underneath. They’re also your best option if you feel you might unintentionally harm your silver if you try doing it yourself. You can visit Gehna if you have badly tarnished silver that needs to be revived. Our team of experts will take the utmost care of your jewelry and return it to you looking as good as new.

Opt for DIY Silver Cleaning Solutions Instead of Commercial Ones

Commercial tarnish-removing products are effective but can be very pricey. Thankfully, there are plenty of DIY remedies you can use that work just as well. One trick that works better than most other silver tarnish hacks is the combination of aluminum foil, white vinegar and baking soda. To remove tarnish with these ingredients, bring water to a boil with a sheet of aluminum foil inside it, shiny side up. Once it boils, add 2 tablespoons of baking soda and then drop your tarnished silver into it. After about 15 seconds (or more depending on how bad the tarnish is), remove your jewelry and buff it dry with a microfiber cloth. Your silver will look so shiny you can be forgiven for thinking it was magic. However, never use baking soda directly on silver to scrub it because it can be too abrasive.

Now that you know all the pro-tips for keeping your silver tarnish-free, there’s nothing to stop you from buying all the silver jewelry your heart desires! So go ahead and reward yourself with the best silver jewellery styles and designs with our foolproof checklist of the points to keep in mind while buying jewellery.

The Heavy-Duty Choker

A heavy-duty choker is the easiest way to add glitz and glamour to any outfit. These statement pieces can be worn with flowy lehengas, sarees and even classy salwar suits. Apart from complementing your wardrobe, an extravagant choker will also give the illusion of a long neck and highlight your collar bones. You can opt for classic kundan designs or a chunky pearl choker as per your style and preference. Dressing up for those mehendi functions just got a lot easier!

Chunky Earrings

This look works wonders for fun sangeets and cocktail parties. Add a touch of oomph to your festive outfit with splendid jhumkas or danglers. The beauty of wearing majestic danglers is that you do not need to accessorise with any other jewel. Danglers bring added focus to your face and work with your eye makeup and hairstyle. You can opt for luxurious chandelier earrings or go in for contemporary string earrings which cling on to the top of your ears. Additionally, you can try neon earrings with precious stones and add a pop of colour to a monochrome outfit or wear earrings in the same shade of your wardrobe for a timeless look. From trendy rose gold and striking silver to opulent gold, take your pick and keeps the compliments coming! For more insights, you can read our blog on how to choose the right jewellery that flatters your face shape.

Surreal Temple Jewellery

Stand out of the crowd with elegant and simple temple jewellery. Pair a traditional pair of jhumkas with a statement necklace having antique motifs and get ready to dazzle the other wedding guests with your charm. Bring out the traditional Indian goddess in you with an authentic silk saree and wow the wedding guests. You can also add a touch of festivity with gorgeous jasmine flowers and perfectly winged eyes!

Effortlessly Bohemian

Bring out your love for western outfits at an ethnic wedding with an unconventional indo-western look. Pair your gorgeous lehenga with a chic crop top or try on a contemporary dhoti saree. Make sure you accessorise with quirky jewellery to complement your outfit. Go in for a dramatic necklace with vibrant beads and precious stones as you make a style statement or dramatise your wardrobe with elegant hoops to complete your look for the reception.

Tips on Looking Your Sparkling Best this Wedding Season:

• Make sure you balance it out. If you are wearing a striking set of bangles, then keep the necklace and earrings minimal. Similarly, if you are wearing a stunning choker, you can skip the earrings and showcase the necklace as a stand-alone masterpiece.
• If you are wearing precious gemstones, choose a colour which matches your outfit or strikes a pleasant contrast.
• You can even use jewels to add a pop of colour to your outfit. Neon-coloured jewellery is the latest trend spotted on all international runways, and there is no reason for you not to try it!
• When it doubt, always opt for statement earrings. They complement any outfit and enhance the features of your face as well. It’s a win-win!
• Layering your jewellery is another massive trend which is very easy to pull off. Mix and match different styles of chains and necklaces. You can also wear a chunk of different bangles in varied thickness and designs for a dramatic look
• Choose a style and go with it. From vintage temple jewellery to a classic set of pearls, find a style that suits you best and flaunt it!
• Do not forget to try on chunky rings and dainty bracelets. These pieces may not be the main attraction but are guaranteed to add a dose of sparkle to your festive wardrobe.

So next time you get invited to a wedding, you know exactly what to wear. Apart from these gorgeous looks and helpful tips, you can even craft your own jewellery for an exquisite look. Head out to Gehna and help us help you with unique designs handcrafted to perfection as per your taste.

The post 4 Easy to Wear Festive Looks This Wedding Season appeared first on Gehna Blog.

Office wear jewellery is all about keeping it simple and elegant. Whether you work in a formal work environment or a semi-casual one, avoid chunky/clinging bracelets and earrings. Heavy ornaments are often noisy and distracting, especially if you move around in the office. Instead, opt for subtle jewels in muted tones. Additionally, it is advisable to opt for lightweight jewellery for everyday use, for a light and breezy style statement.

Read on for a closer insight into the best jewellery designs that work best for office, right from that crucial client meeting to laid-back team outing.

In-House Presentation:

In-house presentations can be tricky. They are important enough to be marked on your calendar but not critical enough to influence your wardrobe. There are plenty of office wear gold jewellery designs available. Stay wary of flashy colours and bold prints as this will only attract attention towards your attire and not the presentation. Play safe by going ethnic and opting for a casual kurti with contrasting leggings. You can also take your style game up a notch with formal pants and smart shirt for strong work vibes. Accessorize by showcasing your personality through your jewellery.

Add a little dazzle to your outfit with our alluring turquoise gold earrings. These danglers are just the right length and add a muted sparkle to your face.

Client Meeting:

Pitching an idea to a client is a make-or-break situation. It is a Herculean task that requires the right amount of confidence and modesty. While stepping out for a client meeting, it is best to keep your wardrobe super formal with dashing pant suit. Try an all-white look coupled with an elegant attitude for sure-shot positive results. Focus on looking smart and sophisticated. Opt for pastel shaded tops and stay away from dangling jewellery.

Bring out your professional best with our Elegant South Sea Pearl Pendant Set. This delicate set screams out sophistication and aesthetic appeal.

Bonding with your team outside the professional work environment brings out the fun side of every individual. Keep your wardrobe casual with a classic set of jeans paired with a fun, floral top. Opt for a stylish yet comfortable wardrobe and wear darker shades. Keep the jewellery minimal as you want to focus on having fun rather than keeping an eye on your jewels.

Leave your hair down and let your colleagues witness your wild side with our radiant set of Elegant Ruby Studs.  These alluring floral studs add a touch of brightness and radiance to your wardrobe.

Round Face:

While choosing earrings for round face shape, make sure you opt for dangling designs. Elongate a round face with long ornaments that create an illusion of length. If you have a round face, look for long earrings that elongate your face. Earrings that float lower than your chin are ideal but don’t use wider chandeliers or round dangles, they’ll argue with your shape. Stick with a look that is narrow.

Try our Enchanting Coral and Ruby Drops for a dash of simplicity and elegance. These spectacular danglers feature both a beads and tear drops, set in 18k gold frames. You can also opt for Flirty Golden Topaz and Amethyst Danglers to complement your cocktail dress of evening gown. The uneven lengths of the muted beads, encased in 18k gold make it the perfect accessory for your evening plans.

Oval Face:

Women with oval faces should opt for the opposite of the jewellery recommended to round faced women. Earrings for oval face will balance your long face. Wide Chandeliers, as well as earrings that widen at the bottom, circles, curves and large studs, are the best earrings for oval face. Furthermore, oval and teardrop styles look fabulous on oval faces.

Be a trendsetter and step out in our Spectacular Silver and Gold Studs. The eye-catching pattern shows off a magnificent emerald mounted at the centre with 18k gold stalks. The flawless sapphire drops scattered around the silver leaves will make you the showstopper of the evening. If you love contemporary designs, you can opt for Iconoclastic Gold Danglers. The honeycomb motifs handcrafted in fine 18k gold showcase asymmetrical circlets encompassed in a hive-like design. Furthermore, the clever use of negative spaces will perfectly complement your quintessential oval face and sharpen those stunning facial features.

Rectangular Face:

A rectangle face is an oval face with a strong, angular jawline. Accessorising a rectangular face is all about softening the bone structure with rounded ornaments. Women with rectangular faces should look for earrings that add some curves. Look for wide circles, teardrops and curves. Avoid shapes that are wide and have strong lines and corners. Keep on the lookout for hoops, elongated and dangling pieces.

Opt for Iridescent Multi hued Danglers and colour your world with an impeccable marquise of multi hued sapphires. The gorgeous 18k circular gold frame and exquisite floral design make it a staple piece in your evening wardrobe. You can also opt for Beguiling Pearl, Gold and Silver Earrings handcrafted in sterling silver. The jewel is encased in 18k gold wires with a quirky sailor’s knot cradling a precious pearl.

Women blessed with a diamond-shaped face are all about statement cheekbones. They often have a small forehead and a sharp chin with high cheekbones which accentuate their facial features. Additionally, diamond-shaped faces have a lot of adversity making most earring types compliment their faces. Look for earrings that have wide-bottom chandeliers, curves, elongated dangle, and teardrop styles.

The post How to Choose the Right Jewelry That Flatters Your Face Shape appeared first on Gehna Blog.

As Helen of Troy once said, it is a face that launched a thousand ships. The face is the first thing that an onlooker’s eyes are drawn to. It is hence vital to ensure that you make the most of it to ensure that one’s gaze is always unwittingly drawn to it. The way you look is impacted greatly not only by your face but also by your hairstyle and earrings as they control the framing of the face. Earrings for short hair work differently when compared to earrings for long hair. It is important your hairstyles and earrings work together rather than compete for focus. Hairstyle and accessory choices, when complementary, make for a flawless look and it is thus crucial to choose the ones that suit you best.

There appear to be scores of possibilities when choosing earrings, but essentially, there are 7 broad types namely teardrops, studs, dangles, chandeliers, hoops, clusters, and Huggies. Studs, Huggies, and hoops are the most versatile, because they essentially create the same look. All 3 work excellently with almost every hairstyle and face shape; a selection of these in your trinket box is thus, mandatory and perfect for those days when you are rushing out and/or cannot decide what you want to wear.

But over and above those safe options, here are some suggestions to ensure you that your hair and earrings complement you to make you look your beautiful best at all times.

Gehna is a jewelry brand based out of Chennai. Established in 1996, they are known for handcrafted and customized beautiful jewelry in gold & silver. Their pieces are worn by many brides and their designs have appeared in magazines a number of times.

Extending their line, they are launching a new collection called, ‘Tints and Tinges‘, light weight and handcrafted 925 sterling silver jewelry which is specifically designed for modern day working women. All the pieces from this collection have very feminine pastel shades and dainty clear lines, making it perfect for the office.

The post Delicate Affair with Gehna appeared first on Gehna Blog.

Remember the last post I created with these lovely earrings from Gehna? Ever since I added those statement pieces to my gold earrings collection, I have been obsessively browsing their website for new products and seeing that we were extremely happy with the outcome of the previous post, we decided to create a few more looks with Gehna gold collection. Every time I open the website I automatically browse through their story and the art and craftsmanship behind their designs. Like I mentioned numerous times before I love brands with dreams and aspirations. Brands like Gehna that welcome you to know their side of the story, and strive to form a personal connect with their customers. Having a dream and realizing it through the satisfaction of your customers is what every entrepreneur or a dreamer (my choice of words!) works towards.

I strongly believe in power and magic of ideas, vision and dreams. The kind of magic that you believed in as a kid – with a sense of wonder and innocence. Sometimes you have dreams that no one can see and understand but you. A strong sense of purpose that you feel in your gut or your heart or whatever. The kind of feeling that envelops you in the middle of the night, at unsuspecting moments when you read an inspiring story or come across a quotation that really resonates with you. Like gold dust you can see it swirling around you in the form of ideas, imagination, thoughts and musings. Like an aura that glows, and only grows brighter and refuses to dim down. You can’t stop thinking about it and it fills you up to an extent that, that is all you dream, plan and work on every minute of your life. Some might call it passion, or purpose, or if you are the slightly more eclectic and dreamy kind – magic.

Coming back to the outfit, I styled a beautiful pair of Garnet earrings, studded in a union of gold and silver metals. I usually am partial to drops and longer earrings but sometimes I do like taking the minimal route and letting a pair of delicate studs sparkle, shine and speak for themselves. With ruby sapphire wonders, charismatic emerald danglers, opal earrings and many more, the collection offers endless designs, numerous options for every budget. Playing with the hue of the garnet studs, I paired them with a blush pink top and a dark skirt with pink undertones to set off the beautifully studded stones. Maybe it was the dreamer in me, or its just the way these precious jewels seem to bring out a certain opulent yet modest quality in a person, that the end result turned out to be this – feminine, dainty and perfectly magical!

It’s been a chaotic few weeks for me and I am craving a vacation to some far off place more than ever now. And do you realize that we are already more than halfway through February! Also, summer has started and its beginning to get quite unbearably hot. And since I am going on stating things that are quite obvious, let me finish off by saying you are going to absolutely LOVE this collection by Gehna too!

The Zephyr collection Gehna is a unique range of finely handcrafted jewelry in 18k gold that is as light as a breeze, and plays on interesting cuts and shapes of precious gems. They are set in exquisite designs and are temptingly affordable. Zephyr literally translates into a ‘gentle breeze’ or any ‘lightweight fabric or articles of clothing’. And I guess after wearing and handling the collection first hand, I can say it is true to its name.

Check out how I styled the earrings below!

It’s that month when festive occasions come rushing one after the other like tsunami waves. I see some of my friends attending eight to ten engagements and weddings within a span of two weeks. Add to that Christmas and New Yearhappy new year 2020 celebrations, family get-togethers, vacations and December becomes one big happy concoction of family, friends, laughter and madness! Although for me, the only tsunami wave that’s hit me is a wave of work as I rush around wrapping up shoots and trying my best to stick to all the deadlines before the entire industry goes into party/holiday mode. Luckily (for you guys) since I am still at work, I can keep the recommendations and ideas rolling in on what to wear, what to buy, what to gift and all that jazz.

After months of searching online for a certain kind of affordable and trendy traditional jewelry, I came across Gehna. Gehna is one of the very first jewelry boutique’s of its kind based in Chennai, they offer one-of-a-kind pieces of art, specially handcrafted, and customized to your last detail. I like brands that have a personal story behind them, that exude craftsmanship, skill and passion for what they do, and untimely do brilliant work. You can browse their galleries for design inspirations if you are falling short of inspiration. Delicate jasmine buds opening their petals seem to have inspired one particular design, the crescent moon and the stars, another design and as you keep browsing you’ll notice that Gehna takes a lot of inspiration from nature and what’s around us everyday. A meticulous form with choices on what karatage of gold you would like, what kind of stones would go into the jewelry, the finish on the metal and more are presented to you when you choose to design your own piece of jewelry. You can upload any design that you like after which their expert team will take it upon themselves to sketch out the design, refine it and deliver the end product better than you have envisioned.

Recently Gehna has launched a new silver collection, where the products are trendy and extremely affordable. Now this happens to be my favorite part of their entire website. The jumkas specially are my absolute favorite! Just the right size, with intricate detailing and delicate structures they are perfect for everyday wear as well as festive wear. The price range is pretty affordable between INR1300 – INR3500. I decided to style one such piece with a bright pink lehenga and a gold waistcoat for a recent event. Check out the pictures below, and some of the other jewelry options that they have.
