Onam is a celebration where tradition takes centre stage, but personal style always finds its place. From the timeless kasavu saree to the flowers in your hair, every detail carries a story. This year, platinum jewellery offers a fresh way to complement these cherished traditions with a refined, contemporary touch.
Onam style has a charm that never really goes out of fashion. The kasavu saree, a simple blouse, flowers in the hair, and a few well-chosen jewellery pieces are often all it takes to create a beautiful festive look. This Onam, Jos Alukkas brings another option into the picture with platinum jewellery, offering Kerala women a simple way to add a contemporary touch to their traditional festive style.
Its lighter, cooler finish can look especially interesting with the warm gold border of a kasavu saree. You do not have to change the traditional look completely. A few carefully chosen platinum pieces can be enough to give it a more modern feel.
Since the kasavu saree already has a simple and elegant design, then the use of a platinum chain would be suitable because it won’t make the attire appear too much.
The use of a simple chain together with a pendant will be appropriate to wear when in the daytime or among the family members. However, if you are to go out during the evening, you can consider wearing something more intricate, such as one with diamonds.
There is a way of balancing the saree design and the white fabric with gold borders and platinum.
Your earrings are bound to create some impact even if the rest of the jewellery that you have on is not very elaborate. Platinum studs will be absolutely ideal if you wish to go for something that is understated at daytime parties. For evening parties, you have platinum drop earrings and diamonds to choose from.
If your earring looks very beautiful, then there is no need for you to carry a heavy necklace as well.
In case you normally adorn yourself with classic bangles while wearing the Onam saree, consider trying out a platinum bracelet to add a slight variation. A slender bracelet will look quite comfortable next to your other accessories without overcrowding your ensemble.
Also, you may wear two or three platinum accessories if you want something a little more layered, especially if your other jewellery is relatively simple.
Though a ring may seem to be a minor piece of your attire, it can give your look a good finishing touch. A simple platinum ring can suit your casual Onam party, while a diamond-encrusted ring would better fit your elegant Onam party.
It is not mandatory that your ring goes well with your necklace and earrings. All that matters is that the jewellery that you select for yourself should feel similar.
Platinum does not mean that you have to leave behind the traditional elements of Onam dressing. In fact, mixing the two can make the outfit more interesting.
A traditional kasavu saree may be paired with a modern-style blouse and topped off with a platinum pendant and earrings. Even minor details like platinum rings and bracelets will modernize a traditional outfit.
In case you are wearing a blouse in some colour, then colors like pastel green, pastel pink, pastel beige, or pastel ivory will look good on platinum jewellery.
Your choice of jewellery can vary according to your destination as well. Stud earrings, a beautiful chain, and a ring can be enough if there is a celebration in the morning.
However, if it is an evening celebration, you can opt for something more striking, like a necklace or even some attractive earrings. By doing this, you will be able to wear your traditional clothing in a completely new style.
All that you will have to do is just put on the jewellery that suits you best. There is no point in putting on too much of it.
Onam means upholding traditions; but, there is no need for you to be consistent with your look every time. If you want to try something else while keeping the traditional grace of the kasavu saree intact, then, Platinum can be a convenient choice for you.
Just a simple platinum ring, earrings, bracelet, or even stud earrings are sufficient for giving your look a new twist. With this Onam, you will have the pleasure of enjoying the timeless grace of your saree and flowers along with your touch of platinum.
