When actor Tejasswi Prakash wore a structured face chain in Netflix’s Desi Bling, she did more than serve a memorable fashion moment. She showcased just how playful Indian jewellery is becoming and encouraged more people to experiment with accessories that were once seen as too eccentric, theatrical or over the top.Sukriti Banthia, founder of four-year-old Jaipur-based jewellery label Studio Live To Tell, which revels in what she calls “tasteful desi maximalism,” says there has been a fresh wave of interest in her eyewear (or ‘facelets’ as fans now call them), rosette eyes, bombshell earcuffs, and Rani Baug shoulder duster earrings after Tejasswi flaunted them. These pieces are now among the Studio Live to Tell bestsellers, especially the shoulder dusters and the earcuffs.Meanwhile, many other brands that have been creating jewellery beyond the traditional maang tikkas, jhumkas, and necklace-and-earring sets are now being discovered for bridalwear, parties, and even everyday wear. Here is our guide to help you navigate a new season of bling.
