NGL, I’m a hundred per cent kurta-wearing, jhumka-sporting kinda girl. There’s something about pairing your prettiest Indian wear pieces with oodles and oodles of dark silver chokers, naths, or chandelier jhumkas and what not. There’s something so gloriously feminine about this aesthetic, yet it also serves as the perfect reminder of our rich cultural history. Let’s not leave out the bit where oxidised jewellery almost NEVER goes out of style and can be worn year-round. A small trinket paired with your classic jeans-t-shirt look, or a set of oxidised bangles with an ethnic skirt and tank top combo make for fits that will look just as good in an office setting as they would on a vacation in Jaipur. Speaking of Jaipur, it’s the perfect place to bag the cheapest oxidised jewellery. But since we can’t make our way there, Nykaa Fashion has six of the most intricate oxidised jewellery brands to recreate the same magic. Check them out:
Teejh
If dainty, delicate jewellery is more of your scene, oxidised silver jewellery might not be your first choice. But if it is, you need to invest in the stunning long necklaces from Teejh. Picture beautiful saris that are paired with layered silver necklaces— a look that’s very a la Vidya Balan. You’ll especially love oxidised jewellery from Teejh if you harbour a penchant for tiny little ghungroos. From earrings to oxidised bangles and anklets, most pieces come with a substantial amount of ghungroos, that will chime harmoniously as you walk. We definitely wouldn’t miss out on this little number with layered pendants, if we were you.
TeejhFida
One thing about oxidised silver jewellery – you can style multiple pieces together or wear just one statement item, and it’ll look stunning either way. If you’re not one to wear your entire coterie of oxidised jewellery at the same time, Fida is YOUR brand. While the label houses a good mix of kundan and silver jewellery, it totes some seriously stylish oxidised silver statement jewellery. Make no mistake, this engraved tribal kada from the brand is the only thing you’ll need to elevate your simple traditional look.
FidaShaya by CaratLane
Remember when we said that dainty oxidised silver jewellery is a rare sight? Not when it comes to this brand. Keeping the modern Indian woman at the crux of their design inspiration, Shaya’s everyday collection boasts trendy ethnic jewellery that comes in varying designs and colours. Their oxidised silver jewellery is embellished with synthetic gemstones and colourful enamels that make pairing them with your outfits a lot easier. We’ll be wearing this toering set for eternity, that’s for sure.
Shaya by CaratLaneMoedbuille
Silver jewellery on its own is art, but pair it with some embroidery and beadwork, and you’ve got yourself a masterpiece. A growing trend, embroidered jewellery is a statement on its own, but use it to style your bohemian looks, and voila! It’s also perfect for adding a bit of edge or quirk to an extremely simple outfit. This handcrafted necklace not only serves as a neckpiece but can also double up as a collar for your off-shoulder or strapless tops. A tip: Try going for an updo with this number to ensure it’s the centre of attention.
MoedbuilleGiva
Wish you could wear oxidised silver jewellery everyday? Not a problem! Giva’s daily wear collection boasts of intricate, minimalistic ethnic jewellery that may sell at a slightly higher price than streetside jewellery but does not compromise on quality.The designs are cleaner, with just the right amount of oxidation. With the right care, these pieces will last you not months but years! Pair this tribal nose ring with your everyday Indian outfits or sport it with your prettiest lehenga during the upcoming wedding season.
GIVAVoylla
A pain point with traditional oxidised silver jewellery is that it can feel a tad bit… how do we put this… ‘old world.’ This means it could be a total miss for those who crave modern jewellery. But crafting traditional designs with a dash of contemporary playfulness is something that Voylla does very well. Take these artisanal layered earrings for example. They are the perfect amalgamation of colour, clean cuts and style. Pair it with a colourful co-ord set or a printed dress for that added hint of panache.
