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. Our Jewellery collection comprises of earrings, pendants and bracelets in Sterling Silver- perfect for everyday office wear. Our collection is inspired by Art Deco, Geometry and the structural finesse of Cubism. Head over to Gehna and explore the Shimi Jewellery Collection to add that sparkle to your office life.

What Is Skin Tone?

The first thing you need to bear in mind is that skin colour and skin tone are two different things. Your skin colour (the overtone) is the colour of the skin you were born with. It can change due to environmental factors like getting tanned or burnt in harsh sunlight. Skin tone (the undertone) never changes. It can be traced back to your ethnicity and biological makeup, which consists of pigmentation, melanin, etc.

Types of Skin Tone:

There are three broad categories of skin tones – cool, warm and neutral. While there are a number of ways to figure out your skin tone, the easiest way to do so is by standing under natural light and looking at the veins on your wrists. Here’s what you will find:

Warm skin tones – Take a good look at your wrists. If your veins look green, then you have a warm skin tone. If you stay out in the sun for too long, you get tanned very easily.

Cool skin tones – People with cool skin tones will have blue or purple veins. Alternatively, people who have cool skin tones will burn when exposed to too much sun, rather than get tanned. This is because they have a lower melanin count.

Neutral skin tone – Your veins will be both blue and green, in equal measure or leaning towards one or the other. When exposed to the sun, you will either tan or get sunburnt. Sometimes, this could depend on the part of your body exposed to the sun.

Matching Skin Tones to Metals

Now that you’ve determined your skin tone, it will be easier for you to find the perfect piece of jewellery. People with cool skin tones look best in light metals like silver, platinum and white gold. Those with warm skin tones will look good in gold, rose gold, copper and brass metal. Those with neutral skin tones have the best of both worlds – both yellow and white metals will them.

Matching Skin Tones to Gemstones

Matching metals to your skin tone always ensure that your jewellery doesn’t look odd when you’re wearing it. However, the metal is not always the focal point of your jewellery – it’s the gemstones. When the gems in your jewellery match your skin tone, they give your piece a more cohesive look.

Cool Tone 

Cool skin tones work well with bright colours like blue and purple as they add some brightness and liveliness to cool skin. So if you have a cool skin tone, opt for gems like sapphires and amethysts.

Warm Tone 

Those with warm undertones will have a yellow hue to their skin. Yellow being an earthy colour will match well with other earthy tones like red, yellow, orange, brown and turquoise. Reach out for jewellery set with rubies, garnets, coral, citrine, etc.

Neutral Tone 

Since you are a mix of both, you have free reign to choose any gemstones, as all of them will look flattering on you.

Diamonds are your Best Friend

If you’re still in doubt about your skin tone and can’t decide what will complement you the best, turn to diamonds. They are the one gemstone that looks stunning on both warm and cool skin tones and can instantly lift any outfit. Be sure to read our blog on how to identify a real diamond before you go shopping for these stunning stones.

While we hope this guide has given some clarity on your skin tone and how to balance it with jewellery, the whole point of donning jewels is to feel special, unique and beautiful. When buying jewellery, make sure it holds some meaning whether it is a birthstone, something you’d like to wear on a date with your special someone.

Jewellery is all about mixing and matching styles to create your own. At Gehna, we have an exhaustive collection of jewellery to suit every skin tone. Visit us today and find your perfect match.

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.

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

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.

You can even opt for a single anklet instead of a pair and make your own style statement.

Baking soda for Silver Jewelry

Silver jewelry is always the first to lose its sheen. Thankfully, there’s a natural home remedy if you’re wondering how to clean silver jewelry at home. Tarnished silver can be polished using a chemical process called ion transfer. All you will need is some aluminum foil, baking soda, salt, and detergent.

To begin, line a baking pan with some aluminum foil and place your silver jewelry in it. Then put a tablespoon each of baking soda, salt, and mild detergent into the pan. Pour enough hot water to cover your jewelry. Let it soak for ten minutes before flipping them over and letting them soak for another ten minutes. Once 20 minutes is up, remove your jewelry from the dish and rinse it off. You can also check out our blog on how to keep your silver jewelry sparkling.

Beer for Gold Jewelry

It is heartbreaking when your once resplendent gold jewelry loses it glow. If you’re looking for a reliable gold jewelry cleaner, then you’re in for a surprise. Beer comes in handy when you need a DIY gold jewelry cleaner. All you need to do is get some light bear (opt for a lager or pilsner), soak a cloth in it and then use it to wipe your gold jewelry. This simple yet effective cleansing method will have your gold jewelry sparkling like brand new! Just bear in mind that beer should only be used with plain gold or gold-plated jewelry and not anything that has stones.

Toothpaste for Diamond Jewelry

Another surprising home remedy is using toothpaste to clean your diamond jewelry. Diamonds are one of the sturdiest elements, but that doesn’t mean you subject your diamond jewelry to harsh chemical cleaners. Instead, merely polish your jewels with some toothpaste and a soft old toothbrush. Rub a pea-sized amount of toothpaste onto your necklace, earrings or rings, and then gently buff with your toothbrush. Rinse with water once done. Your diamonds will be glittering like new once again. You can also read our informative blog on how to identify real diamonds.

Dish Soap Soak for Stone Jewelry

For jewelry that has many stones, you’ll need to be careful as different elements can react differently to chemicals. The easiest way to clean stone jewelry at home is using your dish soap. Mix a teaspoon of your dish soap with water and soak your stone jewelry in it for about ten minutes. Gently buff with an old toothbrush and then rinse under cold water. The soap will get rid of any dirt and grime hidden in between your stones.

Mild Soap and Water for Soft or Porous Stones

Pearls, emeralds, opal, turquoise, etc. are examples of porous stones. As a result, you need to be extra careful about the kind of cleanser you use to clean them. Anything harsh will discolor your gems or cause irreversible damage. The best remedy will be to use mild soap and water. Don’t soak your jewels in this solution for too long, in fact, avoid soaking at all if you can. Just wash your gems in this mixture, rinse and wipe with a soft cloth to remove stains or dirt of any kind. If you’re cleaning your pearl jewelry, read our blog on how to take care of your pearls.

Tea-tree Oil and White Vinegar for Sturdy Jewelry

Tea-tree oil is one of the best substitutes for several commercially available chemical cleansers available today. It is a natural anti-bacterial and anti-fungal essential oil. Tea-tree oil is known for having a strong scent, but it makes for an excellent homemade jewelry cleaner. Place all your jewelry in a glass jar and cover entirely with white vinegar or witch hazel. Then add a drop or two of tea-tree oil and swirl it around, so everything is thoroughly mixed. Let your jewelry soak in the mixture overnight. In the morning, coat your jewelry with baking soda and gently scrub with a soft cloth or old toothbrush, before finally rinsing with water. This solution works best for sturdy jewelry like platinum and gemstones, so avoid using it on porous stones.

Now that we’ve provided you with several homemade jewelry cleaners, you will be able to avoid expensive trips to your jewelers. For exquisite handmade jewelry, head over to Gehna. In the meantime, you can check out our blog on tips to organize your jewelry.

While there usually is a discussion beforehand about your accessories, some brides prefer to leave the decision up to their friends. If you’re in a similar situation and are at a loss, we’ve put together a simple list of options you can peruse to help you nail accessorising for the wedding as a bridesmaid.

Never Overshadow the Bride

One of the biggest crimes you can commit at someone’s wedding is looking more flamboyant than the bride. It’s her day and her time to shine. If the bride is wearing a chunky pearl necklace, mimic her style with a strand of pearls. If you aren’t sure about what to choose, here’s everything you need to know about pearls.

Vintage Kundan Necklace Set

If she’s going the traditional route with some eye-catching Kundan jewellery, complement her style with a pair or earring perhaps. However, if your bride is modest or straightforward in her jewellery choice, follow her lead so you won’t accidentally overshadow or clash with her.

Use Similar Colours

Bridal parties always dress in similar shades of the bride’s choosing. Use the colour of your outfit to figure out what jewellery to wear as a bridesmaid. Certain metals look best with some colours. Rose gold jewellery looks stunning with a blush dress. If your bridal party’s colour is blue, opt for silver jewellery. Gold jewellery makes the perfect choice for an emerald green outfit.

Work with your Neckline

A simple and fool proof idea to follow when wondering what jewellery to wear as a bridesmaid is opting for a necklace. Here are a few guidelines you can follow to perfectly pair a necklace with your outfit’s neckline:

Image Source

Strapless or Sweetheart Neckline: These necklines offer you endless options. What looks best, of course, is a statement necklace. If you’d prefer some simple bridesmaid jewellery, opt for a classy choker necklace. They’re one of the current jewellery trends of 2018. You could even double up a long single-stranded chain for a layering effect.

Image Source

One Shoulder Neckline: One shoulder outfits are a fun and flirty departure from the standard neckline. However, a necklace would be too much with this neckline. We recommend opting for a pair of statement earrings. You could also opt for studs with a prominent bracelet or cuff.

Image Source

V Neckline: Pendant necklaces pair the best with V necks. A simple pendant necklace adds a lovely touch to your outfit without being distracting. You could also opt for a choker necklace or a double-up necklace.

Image Source

Halter Neckline: These necklines don’t allow for a necklace. We suggest pairing your halter neck outfit with a pair of jhumkis, drop earrings and a bracelet.

Follow a Theme:

When thinking of jewellery for bridesmaids, opting to follow a theme will make your jewellery selection easier. If the wedding’s theme is a little bohemian, opt for some pieces from our Vibrant Vibes Collection. They’re sure to add a pop of colour and flair to your outfit.

Pink Opal & Pearl Pendant

Our Tints and Tinges Collection is perfect for a subtle hint of colour to match your outfit and look coordinated. You could also pick a gemstone and use the tone as inspiration for whichever piece of jewellery you decide to wear. A gemstone set will give your outfit a colour blocking effect. Our blog on 4 easy to wear festive looks this wedding season will offer a little more clarity.

Garnet & 925 Sterling Silver Earrings

Ruby Stud 18K Gold Earrings

Alternatively, you can also try a theme like geometrics or nature-inspired patterns. Your bridal party can sport a different piece of jewellery. Play around with metal colours and finishes. This way each bridesmaid can create a personalised look for herself while still maintain a cohesive, uniform look and theme.

Be Discreet:

18K Gold Stacking Rings

Radiant Ruby 22K Gold Nosepin

If you’re looking for unique bridesmaid jewellery, why not try some stacking rings or nose pins? These items are discreet and create a minimalist look that’s classy and subtle. Opt for a larger nose pin to match the bride’s prominent jewellery. The stacking rings will perfectly match a simpler wedding ceremony.

As a bridesmaid, you too are responsible for the planning of the wedding in your own way. Whether it’s your best friend, sister or colleague, remember to have fun on her special day to make it more meaningful. Enjoy this part of your wedding planning, and with our suggestions, you’ll be sure to feel inspired. Head over to Gehna for all your bridal jewellery shopping.

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

Image Source

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

Image Source

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.

Image Source

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

925 Sterling Silver Cuff type Bangle

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

Image Source

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.

Those born in June are sociable, humorous, and talkative. Born under the zodiac Gemini, June borns often exhibit childlike traits and are cheerful, restless, and full of life. They are very intelligent and are extremely inquisitive in nature. And just as a child is both soothed and intrigued by the silvery hues of the moon, the moon like pearl and moonstone are the birthstones of these candid, trusting individuals.

Intricate Pearl & Gold Studs

According to South Asian mythology, pearls were dewdrops from heaven that fell into the sea, caught by shellfish under the first rays of the rising sun, during a period of full moon. A tale of childlike innocence, wonder, and magic for the childlike June born!

Unlike most gemstones of mineral origin that are found within the Earth, pearls have an organic origin. Pearls are made mostly of aragonite, a relatively soft carbonate mineral (CaCO3) that also makes up the shells of molluscs. They are created inside the shells of certain species of oysters and clams when an irritant such as a very small fragment of rock, a sand grain, or a parasite enters the mollusc’s shell. It irritates the oyster or clam, much like a dust particle would irritate our eyes, and the mollusc responds by coating the foreign material with layer upon layer of shell material. Pearls formed on the inside of the shell are usually irregular in shape and have little commercial value. However, those formed within the tissue of the mollusc are either spherical or pear-shaped and are in high demand for jewellery. Many pearls today are cultured in oyster farms that sustain a thriving pearl industry.

Pearls possess a uniquely delicate translucence and lustre that place them among the most highly valued of gemstones. The colour of the pearl depends on the species of mollusc that produced it, and its environment. White is perhaps the best-known and most common colour. However, pearls also come in delicate shades of black, cream, grey, blue, yellow, lavender, green, and mauve. Black pearls can be found in the Gulf of Mexico and waters off some islands in the Pacific Ocean. The Persian Gulf and Sri Lanka are well-known for exquisite cream-coloured pearls called Orientals. The journey a pearl goes through to create a piece of jewellery is a miraculous event. Gemstones must be cut and polished to bring out their beauty, but pearls need no such treatment to reveal their loveliness.

Pearls were used in medicine as early as 2000 BC in China, where they were believed to represent wealth, power, and longevity. In Europe, pearls were used in medicine until as recently as the 17th century. Arabs and Persians believed it was a cure for various kinds of diseases, including insanity. Even to this day, lowest-grade pearls are ground for use as medicine in Asia. In India, warriors encrusted their swords with pearls to symbolize the tears and sorrow that a sword brings. According to Vedic Astrology, Moon reflects the human mind and has a profound impact on our thinking. Pearls maintain the stability of the mind and improve confidence.
