Bollywood Bling: Be Precious
Be it diamonds, gold, silver or just junk, jewellery is the way to a girls's heart. So today we bring you the bling style of our divas and hope your exchequers are ready to be emptied!
Go ethnic like Aishwarya Rai Bachchan
Ethnic jewellery is usually expensive and of exceptional quality. We love how the emerald, gold and kundan reflect so well in Aishwarya's eyes.
Bling Quotient: Invest in some pretty gems and gold, as they go with all things ethnic and always look fantastic. Think precious lac jewellery, kundan & polki with plenty of yellow gold.
Be glam like Priyanka Chopra
When wearing jewellery with formal wear or gowns, the best choice is usually platinum, rhodium or sterling silver with lots of diamonds. We're big fans of Priyanka's small drop earrings, solitaire ring and chunky cuff.
Bling Quotient: Your favourite jewellery store is bound to have contemporary pieces. Mix and match to create a unique look each time. Remember to wear either a great necklace or bold earrings. Don't OD on both at once.
Get funky like Deepika Padukone
Junk jewellery is an all time favourite and the best part about it is that you can buy loads of it and not shell out much dough. Deepika's chunky chains look killer with her blazer and shorts look.
Bling Quotient: Since imitation jewellery varies every season and what is in today may be pass tomorrow, be up to date with the ongoing trends. Raid the thrift stores every now and then to stay alert of trends.
We love it when east and west come together in such a delightful way. Kudos to Sonam for teaming the simple rouche dress with that exquisite ruby and kundan necklace.
Bling Quotient: When doing a fusion look, ensure that either your outfit is simple if you're wearing bold earrings, necklace or bangles with it. If you want to wear prints or a voluminous dress, keep the jewellery minimal
Choose classic like Katrina Kaif
Pearls are like the little black dress of jewellery - never out of fashion and a sure shot way to add class to any kind of look. Pearls are evergreen and you should have a pair of drop earrings like the kind Katrina's sporting or a string of pearls for all occasions.
Bling Quotient: Pearls are available in many different shapes, colour and sizes. They look exceptional and aren't steeply priced so get many kinds and wear them for an effortless classic look.
Love your bling like Rani Mukherjee
Rani probably has the most exquisite collection of jewellery and the panache to wear it right. Wearing plenty of jewellery together may not be everyone's cup of tea but Rani makes it look effortless in this ethnic avatar.
Bling Quotient: When wearing a lot of jewellery ensure some connection in all of it. For example, stick with one colour or theme. If you choose gold wear all gold pieces and add a dash of colour with gemstones.
Be casual like Shilpa Shetty
At day events or when going casual, wear something simple yet funky to accentuate your look. Shilpa's coral dress with that pastel necklace looks so fresh and we also loved her big wedding ring and watch.
Bling Quotient: Casual jewellery, like junk jewellery is inspired by current trends. You can even wear pearls casually or invest in two chains-gold and silver. Keep changing the pendants for many looks.
Make the night bright like Malaika Arora Khan
On a night out in town, get your bling out and get ready to paint the town red! Think gold and crystals and stones like onyx as Malaika is wearing here.
Bling Quotient: Don't be afraid to experiment with metallic jewellery and big beads and stones. Bold is the way to go.
We hope you enjoyed looking at these bright and beautiful divas wearing the best of their bling. Leave your comments below and we'll meet you again next week. Closing with a quote all women are bound to agree with,
