Different families invest in gold or silver in different ways. Some prefer buying melted gold and storing is so that they can use it in the future in whichever way they want to, as per requirement then. Some others prefer investing in small delicate pieces of jewelry like a delicate earring or bracelet. It would be an entire planned outing where the full family would go to the jewelry shop, choose the gold jewellery design and then make the final purchase after everyone had agreed to it. However, and rather very interestingly, with the way times have changed, people have started buying even gold online! A lot of brick and mortar stores now have an omni channel presence and a lot of independent gold jewellery online sellers have started selling via their own websites. The number of sellers has grown because of the increased demand. This has caused a shift in the way families buy gold on this auspicious occasion. While some still prefer sticking to the old traditional way, some families have shifted to buying it online.

This auspicious festival is just around the corner, and in case you were confused about where to invest your money so that you get the maximum returns from your investment, below mentioned are a few tips that will help you breeze through the process.

These tips have been compiled keeping in mind jewelry designs that are extremely versatile in nature and can be paired with both Indian as well as western wear. This not only allows you to flaunt your collection more often but also gives you a creative outlet to mix and match the designs with various outfits.

• Delicate bracelets are very modern, stylish and a very easy piece of jewelry to style and pull off. When there is a festival at home, they can be easily paired with your Indian wear if you are aiming for a minimal look and something that is not too much on the heavy side. If there is a party and you are planning on wearing a cocktail gown or a party dress, it works great with that as well. If you are a working professional, these work great with work wear as well. Pair with a white shirt and a black skirt or formal pants. For a casual day out with friends, these can be paired with just about any outfit that you want to throw on. A simple dress, a casual tee or a cute skirt or top, whatever your pick, these bracelets work great with them! They are very chic, sleek and can make any ordinary outfit look very trendy and stylish.

• The most celebrated type of Indian jewelry that is loved by all age groups are earrings that light up any outfit that it is paired with. There is multiple gold earring design that are available like jhumkis, studs, hoops and drop downs, which are extremely versatile in nature. If you are going for a party and wearing a cocktail dress, then a drop-down earring with it will work wonders and make your entire look very chic. If you are wearing a saree with a high neck blouse, then jhumkis will elevate the entire look as it will draw attention to your face and light it up. If you are wearing a low-neck outfit and pairing it with a heavy necklace, then a simple pair of studs will complement the entire look and make you look like complete royalty.

• The dilemma that most of us face during the winters is how to style a turtleneck or a sweater and scarf because there is no body part that is left to accessorize. However, that is when the humble ring comes to the rescue! A stack of delicate golden rings makes the entire look very cute and girly. They are extremely easy to style, look very pretty and add the chic factor to any outfit. Apart from winter clothes, they look great with the cocktail dress you have been saving, the Indian clothes that you last wore to your cousin’s wedding or a simple everyday outfit for a casual day out with friends.

Figuring out What the Vibe at Your Office

Before you decide on any outfit or jewellery, first understand the vibe in your office. If your office is more conservative on their dressing, you may not want to draw unnecessary attention to yourself by dressing completely different from the rest. On the contrary, you may want to experiment with your looks if the crowd at work is more liberal with their fashion approach. That said, everyone has their own unique style and the key is to stand out from the rest of the crowd without coming across as the odd one out.

Office Wear Jewellery Etiquette

Gone are the days where you focussed just on what clothes you wore to work. Office wear jewellery come in handy when you want to add that little edge to your work attire. While choosing your office wear jewellery, always keep in mind that your clothing and jewellery work as a medium to convey to your co-workers that you are a smart professional who is well put together.

Most women prefer a minimalistic look while dressing to work. Wearing a pair of small earrings or hoops is the best way to style yourself if the minimalistic look is what resonates with you. If you want to take it a step further, you can complete your look by wearing a simple bracelet and teaming it with a chain and an elegant pendant.

If you like a bolder look and like being a little adventurous with your style, you may consider wearing one statement piece which can also be your go-to office wear jewellery.  This could be a big bracelet, or a layered necklace or a big pair of earrings. Team your statement office wear jewellery with simpler or minimal pieces like a pair of delicate earrings or a simple necklace with a gemstone pendant- just to add that little sparkle to your neckline without being too flashy. Always ensure that your other jewellery pieces do not distract and take the highlight away from your statement piece. Adorning yourself with too many pieces of jewellery will not only make you look loud and flashy but would also confuse the eyes of anyone who looks at you.

It is best to save your big pearls and big studded jewellery pieces for other occasions. If you do wish to wear it to work, consider wearing it to a client meeting or an office lunch or conference. When in doubt, always remember that less is better.

Avoid wearing stacking bracelets or bangles or anything that jangles to quiet locations like to meetings where you need to present to the client or to your colleagues. The noise that it would make when you move can be distracting and annoying to others in the room. Even in a functional point of view, wearing something that jangles will only be a source of distraction to you when you are using your keyboard to type something.

While there are no set rules when it comes to wearing office wear jewellery, it is always better to keep some best practices in mind while dressing for an office environment. Each one of us have our own unique style and the key is to bring this style out without coming across as to loud. A key point to remember is to keep things simple and classy when in doubt.

Gehna is proud to introduce the Shimi Jewellery collection that is perfect for any working woman.

The Indo-western clothing-jewellery combination is quite a bold fashion statement, one that shows off your fashion sensibilities and how creative you are. When done right, western clothes, with our elegant Indian jewellery makes for a stunning ensemble.x

Here are a few hints to help you nail the pairing.

White shirts are the epitome of formal, office wear and professionalism. However, they can be quite drab after wearing them multiple times.

Pairing your white shirts with a statement necklace can give you an edgy look and can be worn to work, family get-togethers, functions, etc.

Kundan Necklace with a Strapless Gown

One of the latest trends of 2018, Kundan jewellery is no longer a traditional set seen only at weddings and special occasions. If you have a black tie event to attend, opt for a strapless gown and flaunt your gorgeous Kundan necklace. With several leading ladies in Bollywood sporting the trend, this is a tried and tested pairing. Kundan necklaces are usually light in colour and grand in size in design. Choose a simple gown in a dark colour to beautifully offset and complement your Kundan jewellery.

Silver Jewellery for a Boho-chic Look

Silver jewellery has a unique charm of its own, different from other precious metals. Pure silver or even oxidised silver jewellery give off a very boho-chic vibe. Want to try out a maxi dress? Pair it with a silver coin necklace to nail the look. You can also pair your necklace with a cold-shouldered top to maximise your boho-chic look. If you prefer a more sophisticated look, pair your silver necklace or a pair of silver danglers with a formal shirt. You could also use an entire set – think necklace, rings, bangles and earrings to jazz up a simple bodycon dress for a trendy look.

Jhumkas with an LBD

When in doubt, always go for a little black dress. This classic piece of clothing is timeless and versatile as it is appropriate for any occasion and comes in an exhaustive number of styles. Give this timeless classic a twist by pairing it with your favourite pair of jhumkas! Even the simplest of outfits can be lifted with the right accessories. By pairing your LBD with some gorgeous jhumkas, you’ll be sure to have heads turning in your direction.

Gold Bangles instead of Stacking Bracelets

Stacking bracelets may be one of the biggest trends this year, but fashion is all about breaking the rules and finding your own style. Take this trend a step further by wearing a stack of gold bangles instead. Ensure your outfit is monochrome – nothing with a loud print or pattern so that your bangle stack stands out.

Maang Tikkas instead of a Headband

Green Enamel Uncut Diamond Maang Tikka

The idea of pairing a maang tikka with your western outfit may seem a little peculiar, but with the right design and style, this look will have at the centre of attention wherever you go. Don’t wait until the next wedding or a big family celebration. When you choose an outfit for your next party, birthday celebration, or an outing with friends, take out your favour favourite maang tikka and pair it with a simple hairstyle.

Anklets with Cropped Jeans

Another piece of jewellery that every Indian woman owns is a pair of anklets. From simple silver payals to decadent gold ghungroos, anklets are an ancient tradition that has adorned our feet for centuries. Give your entire look a fashionable boost by pairing your anklets with cropped jeans or pants. If you’re someone who likes fusion wear or likes to stay trendy, then this is the look for you. You can even opt for a single anklet instead of a pair and make your own style statement.

Indian jewellery has myriad styles, designs and categories. By pairing with western clothes, you open up an even vaster set of choices. With these handy tips, you can make even the most mundane outfits look magnificent. Head over to Gehna today to add to or complete your jewellery collection.

Assembling a stylish stack of jewellery isn’t a difficult task. You can master the art with a few basic guidelines. Whether you’re edgy, a minimalist, a free-spirited bohemian or a vintage lover, all you need to remember is to mix various textures, shapes, colours and finishes. But that doesn’t mean you wear every single bracelet in your jewellery box. Stacking jewellery is more about which pieces you wear, rather than how many. Here are a few tips that will help you ace this trend.

Pick a Focal Point

When you’re talking about a bracelet stack, try to pick a focal point. Then the rest of your bracelets would act as accents around it to create a textured and varied look. So to choose your focal point, it comes down to what you want to emphasise. This could be your favourite bracelet, a piece that matches your outfit or even a watch. Once you identify your focal point, it becomes easier to pick accent pieces that will highlight rather than overwhelm it. Bracelet stacks with a watch work exceptionally well. The bracelets can dress up and compliment your watch giving it a more elaborate look. Depending on your watch’s band, you can play around with different textures and overall looks.

Mix Materials

Forget the rules about pairing like materials. Think out of the box and pair different textures, materials and colours. With stacking bracelets and rings, anything goes. Mixing textures and materials can make your stacking combination look more visually appealing. Experiment with two or three different metals, combine beads with metals, gemstones with leather bands and so on. To create a casual look with your bracelet stack, pair some colourful pieces with leather bracelets. Dress up your outfit by pairing gemstone bracelets with sleek metal pieces.

When it comes to stacking rings, there are no hard and fast rules. Stack multiple rings on one finger and keep the rest of your fingers bare. Experiment with shapes and lines. Try a combination of vertical, horizontal and criss-cross rings. This will create the illusion of negative space and will also give the impression that you aren’t wearing too many rings at once.

Incorporate Various Sizes

Size is a great way to add variety to your bracelet and ring stacks. Stick to one or two cuffs for your bracelet stack and a statement ring for your ring stack. This way, you can avoid your forearm and fingers looking chunky and heavy. Use few broad bands or several thin bands to create different looks and feels.

Play with Colour

The easiest way to do this is by using bracelets and rings in different tints and stones. Make a statement and personalise your look with the gemstone of your birth month. You could use gemstones or metals of other colours as accents. Stagger rings with stones, so they don’t line up vertically. Not only will this be comfortable for you, but it will also look more appealing.

Look for Inspiration

The colour and shape of your bracelets and rings should be inspiration enough. But if you need fresh ideas, take a look at your clothes and try to match your stacks to them. Nature is always a great inspiration. Look for bracelets that reflect animal and floral motifs, like our Tessera Collection.

Comfort matters

If your job involves typing a lot, then wearing a sack of chunky bracelets will hold back on your productivity. Try wearing delicate bracelets and rings, so you get maximum comfort without compromising on style. Similarly, use your rings and bracelets on your non-dominant arm to avoid any discomfort. You can also check out our blog on jewellery styles that work for the office.

The secret to the perfect stack of bracelets and rings is confidence. As long as you love the combination you’ve created, that’s what matters. You can be classical or trendy, vintage or bohemian. Stacking bracelets and rings have no rules.

If you’re feeling inspired to try some ring bracelet stack sets of your own, then head over to Gehna for a wide range of stacking ring and bracelets.

Having a beautiful collection of jewellery is a sense of joy and pride for every woman. Whether it is your engagement ring or exquisite pearl jewellery that your son bought for you with his first paycheck, if you want to maintain the lustre and shine of your ornaments, you need to store them properly.  Jewellery that is stored in a haphazard manner can get damaged or even inadvertently lost. Read on for creative yet practical ways to organise your jewellery.

Stack Them Up

You can avoid breakage, underuse and loss of your jewellery by stacking them up. Try different ways of stacking them. For your earrings, you can purchase a simple earring holder and hang them through the hooks. If you are a person who likes creating and experimenting, DIY an earring caddy with some chicken wire. You can use an old frame that’s been lying around and store your favourite dangly earrings in them.

For your bracelets and bangles, you can use decorative vases. A neat display of these vases will certainly add an artistic feel to your room and also be easily accessible. Another eco-friendly way would be to upcycle those glass bottles lying unused in your kitchen. Use them to stack your bangles and bracelets. A quirky glass design on the bottles will give it an aesthetic look.

Go Old-School with a Jewellery Box

You can’t go wrong with this good old method of storage. Invest in a good jewellery box that is sturdy and has transparent covers in order to identify your baubles easily. Look for a box that has several different compartments in them so that your jewellery doesn’t get tangled. You can also buy separate boxes and categorise your jewellery according to the occasion. Your flashy dangling earrings can fall into the party-wear category, studs and minimalist jewellery into work-wear and heavy, chunky accessories into ethnic-wear.

Pin it On the Wall

Tap the unused potential of walls by hanging your necklaces individually and prevent cluttering. You can buy a ready-made wall hanger or strategically place some pushpins on your dressing area wall to accommodate those quirky, colourful necklaces. You can also customise your own jewellery cabinet with paint, patterned fabric and some hooks. It can hold your necklaces, earrings and the piling up bracelets. However, it’s not the best idea to put your valuable jewellery that’s articulated with precious stones and metal out on display. It can tarnish the piece of jewellery and increase the risk of it getting lost.

Protect Your Precious Beauties

Whether your jewellery is valuable in monetary or sentimental terms, it’s still important to keep your finest jewellery and gems reserved for special occasions, safe and organised. From elegant emerald earrings to that regal ruby necklace, make sure your exquisite ornaments are stored separately in order to avoid any laceration. If you have a vanity or a dresser, you can use little jewellery boxes or drawstring jewellery bags to store these earrings. Store them in a cool and dry place so that they are not exposed to any chance of oxidation.

Pocket Them

The simplest yet effective way of organising your jewellery is storing them in clear pouches. You can find a vast array of ready-made hanging jewellery organisers equipped with small individual pockets. These are ideal for your fashionable rings, earrings and bracelets. They give you clear visibility and can be accessed comfortably. You can mount them over your dressing table for easy use.

Prioritise you Daily-Wear

To make every day hassle-free, you can place your daily-wear in a shallow bowl or a fancy tray on you bedside tabletop. This will give you easy access to it without having to fumble in the morning to find your favourite ring.

Compartmentalise

Consider how you look for your jewellery and according to that, you can organise your collection. You can categorise them according to the colour range or divide them into casual and formal wear. It entirely depends on your preferences. Stacking similar jewellery together will make your life easy to a great extent. You can stow away your small rings in one compartment and all your studs in another. This way you can easily locate your jewellery.

Store it in a Drawer

Drawers are not just for dresses and delicates, you can use them to store your dainty and precious jewellery as well. Layer the drawers with velvet fabric or any other soft material to prevent any laceration. This will not only give you a sophisticated look but also help you to pick out your jewellery in an easy flash due to the contrast. Say goodbye to mismatched earrings, tangled necklaces and missing bangles!

Take the Twig-Sted Approach

To avoid clutter, it’s best to hang your necklaces separately. A simple and a quirky way to display them would be to nail a medium-sized twig to the wall and hang your necklaces there. You can spray paint it in any colour of your choice to add an element of vibrancy to your room.

The post 9 Unique Ways to Organise Your Jewelry appeared first on Gehna Blog.

For those of you born in June, pearls are your birthstone. A pearl is a gemstone, but unlike others, it is formed within a living creature – certain species of oysters and mussels. Natural pearls are formed when a sand or fishbone enters the body of an oyster. This causes irritation inside its body and to get rid of this irritation the oyster secrets layers and layers of nacre over the irritant which over a period of time forms into a pearl.

Pearls have always been a symbol of elegance, timelessness and are one of the top jewellery trends to watch out for in 2018. If you’re a novice to this lustrous yet fragile gemstone, read on for a guide to everything you need to know about pearls.

Types of Pearls

Pearls are broadly classified as natural and cultured pearls. Natural or wild pearls are found by chance by shellfish harvesters. There is no human intervention involved. However, finding a pearl through this process is an extreme rarity, due to which they are sold at a higher price point. Natural pearls may also be smaller in size when compared to cultured pearls.

Cultured pearls are produced in a pearl farm with human intervention. Here, an irritant is inserted into the molluscs’ shell. A majority of pearls found in marketplaces today are cultured, and most of them come from China, Japan, Indonesia, Philippines and Australia. Cultured pearls are further divided into:

Akoya Pearls – Often referred to as “classic pearls”, Akoya pearls have grown off the Japanese coast for the past 100 years. When you imagine the classic strand of round white pearls, you’re thinking of Akoya pearls as they are known for their perfectly round shape and reflective lustre.

Akoya Pearls

Freshwater Pearls – These are the most affordable pearls and are the perfect choice for fashion-conscious women. They are famous for their baroque shapes and a wide range of pastel colours. They also have a softer lustre than Akoya pearls.

Freshwater Pearls

Tahitian Pearls – These pearls are often referred to as “dark and exotic”. They are naturally occurring black pearls but can also be found in green, blue and grey. They’re typically found in French Polynesia. Round Tahitian pearls are quite rare and are most commonly seen as drops and ovals.

Tahitian Pearls

South Sea Pearls – These pearls are known as the Rolls-Royce of Pearls as they are the largest seawater pearls grown today. They are found in Indonesia, Philippines and Australia with colours ranging from white to gold. Their enormity in size makes them quite rare, but perfect for a statement necklace.

How to Distinguish Between Real and Fake Pearls

Real pearls display a natural beauty and hold a lot of value. Fake pearls, on the other hand, are priced at a lower cost. Also called faux, costume or imitation pearls, they are made of plastic, glass or fish-scale imitation. Here are some easy ways to distinguish real pearls from fake ones:

• When viewed under a magnifying glass, you will be able to spot surface ridges similar to sand dunes on real pearls. Counterfeit pearls will either look smooth or have bubbles.
• Real pearls will have an enriched body colour with overtones of other shades. Fake pearls will look white and flat.
• Real pearls are cold to the touch. You won’t feel the same coldness while handling fake pearls.
• If you were to rub real pearls across your teeth, they will feel gritty, while fake ones would feel smooth.
• Real pearls will appear smooth around holes drilled into them. Fake pearls will show bumps or some roughness.

What to Look for While Buying Pearl Jewellery

Buying jewellery is not something people do very often. If you’ re someone who only likes to own a few pieces, it will do you well to keep a few points in mind while buying jewellery. The same applies to your pearls. Pearl jewellery differs slightly from other gemstones since they are formed inside a living organism. This plays an important role while buying pearl jewellery.

• Natural pearls are extremely rare and hence several times more expensive than cultured pearls. Educate yourself on the different types of pearls.
• The number of layers of nacre and their thickness determine the quality of a pearl. Therefore, a pearl’s lustre influences its value.
• Pearls are graded according to the smoothness of their surface. Blemish-free pearls come at a premium price point; small spots don’t decrease their value as much as chips or cracks.
• A pearl’s price will increase exponentially with its size.

The post 6 Jewelry Trends to Watch out for in 2018 appeared first on Gehna Blog.

Don’t Let Her Lift a Finger

Let’s start with the home turf. That means no cooking, no cleaning, and no chores of any kind. Being a mom is a full-time job, whether she’s a working mom or a homemaker. Today is her day, and she deserves a day off to relax. Bring your mom breakfast in bed or deliver flowers to her along with a handwritten note. We bet she would love that.

Cook for Her

Remember taking a lunchbox to school and college that your mom packed for you every morning? She also has dinner ready when you’re back from work. It’s time you returned the favour. Take over the kitchen duties for the day (or the week if you can) and make all her favourite dishes. If you’re a novice, start out simple like a pasta casserole. You could also invite the whole family and try out some of your mom’s delicious recipes together. And don’t forget dessert!

Plan an Afternoon Just for Her

Our moms are always busy taking care of us and more often than not, their lives take a backseat. She deserves a day off to do all her favourite things.  Take your mom out shopping and let her indulge herself with some retail therapy. Or take her to the park or beach to rest and recharge. Or would she prefer to sip on some infused tea at a chic café? Whatever your mom’s interest, take the initiative to plan her this special day for her.

Take Her to the Spa

Juggling professional and personal responsibilities can be tiring. Pamper your mother to a day at a spa. Pre-book a relaxing massage, facial, hair treatment and throw in a mani-pedi for good measure. If you are not in the mood to let your mom step out, you and your mum could try out some DIY masks and hair treatments.

Gift Her a Holiday

Wouldn’t it be nice to take your mom away on holiday for some mother’s day pampering? Plan a trip to a destination she has always wanted to visit or walk down the memory lane with her by going back to her home town. If time is a concern, you could do a day’s trek or a weekend by the beach at a nearby resort.  Whatever activity fits her style makes sure you involve the entire family to come up with some fun mother’s day celebration ideas.

Buy Her Some Jewellery

If you’re still in a dilemma about what to get your mom this Mother’s Day, gift her stunning piece of jewellery. For the person who has had your back since day one, why not gift her a special moment in the form of a necklace? For the working mom, explore the versatile and sophisticated Zephyr Collection. For the simple mom, gift her a set from the Silver Collection. A new mom would love her children’s gemstones in a necklace. If you can’t decide, here are is our curated collection of Mother’s Day Jewellery.

Enchanting Diamond Peacock Studs

Suave Pearl Paisley Studs

Now that we have listed out some of our favourite Mother’s Day celebration ideas, we hope they inspire you to come up with some pampering gifts for mom that will win you the title of World’s Best Child. If you decide to gift her jewellery, head over to Gehna for finely handcrafted jewellery that she would love to flaunt.

Keep it Simple

Elegant Black Pearl String Necklace

When you’re choosing what to wear on a night out, it’s important to remember that you should be the center of your date’s focus, not your outfit. Too many statement pieces, rings and bracelets can be very distracting when you’re on a date. Your date night jewellery should accentuate the beauty of you and your outfit, not overshadow it completely. This Elegant Black Pearl String Necklace strikes the perfect balance between subtlety and edginess. While the unusual black pearls will bring out your unique personality, they are also a classy style statement that won’t distract from your look.

Choose Only One Statement Piece

Spellbinding Gold, Rubies & Emeralds Earrings

The point of a statement accessory is that it should be the only striking piece in your entire look. Any other date night jewellery you add should be subtle, highlighting your statement piece. Too many striking accessories clamouring for attention can make your entire look appear incohesive.

Add a Romantic Touch

Dainty Pink Tourmaline & Diamond Gold Pendant

Date night is a time when the spirit of romance is in the air. Let your date night jewellery reflect this by choosing soft, delicate accessories to complement your look. Delicate accessories are also universally flattering and go with almost any date night outfit you pick out. This Dainty Pink Tourmaline and Diamond Gold Pendant is the ultimate celebration of femininity and love. The soft glow of the pink tourmaline at the center is accentuated by the sparkle of the diamonds at the corners. You could pair it with these Subtle Rose Quartz and Pink Sapphire Gold Earrings to further highlight the theme of romance. Pair these accessories with an elegant cocktail dress or a classy jumpsuit when you’re choosing what to wear on a night out.

Wear an Elegant Ring

Breathtaking Diamond & 18K Yellow Gold Stacking Rings

Don’t forget to accessorise your fingers before you head out! Rings can make your fingers look more slender and alluring. However, too many clunky rings can get in the way when your date tries to hold your hand. When you’re picking rings for your date night look, you can either choose a single striking piece or a delicate stackable ring set. This Breathtaking Diamond and Yellow Gold Stacking Rings Set will add an elegant style statement to your fingers without being too distracting. They are also extremely versatile and can be easily paired with any other accessories you choose to wear on your romantic night out.

Dress for the Occasion

Gossamer Sliced Diamonds Gold Danglers

When you are choosing an outfit for a date night, it’s important to take into consideration the actual date in itself. Your outfit for a movie date would be completely different from what you’d wear for dinner. Dressing for the date will prevent you from looking out of place or overdressed. If you are going out for a simple dinner date, keep your jewellery minimalist, yet elegant. These Gossamer Sliced Diamonds Gold Danglers are the perfect subtle accessory to wear on this date. If you’re going out for a lavish drinks and dinner date, you can play up your accessories as well. These Statuesque Yellow Gold and Ruby Filigree Danglersare  perfect for an upscale date night.

Stay True to Yourself

Honeycomb Effect Ruby & 18K Yellow Gold Drop Earrings

When you’re out on a date, you should put together a look that best reflects your personality. After all, your date is interested in you and wants to get to know you. Your accessories should bring out your true personality, not obscure it. If you have a quirky, fun-loving side, highlight this in your jewellery instead of playing it safe with a generic look. These Honeycomb Effect Ruby and Yellow Gold Drop Earrings are truly one-of-a-kind and can also work as a great conversation starter.
