Jewellery is a finishing touch that brings an outfit to life. However, styling it right makes all the difference. Be it a dainty pieces or a bold statement accessory, the way you pair your jewel with your everyday outfits can take your look from basic to effortlessly chic.

A jewellery piece that is styled right has the power to transform your look effortlessly. According to Anandita Kathuria, Co-founder, Ruby Raang, jewellery is all about personal expression. "While trend plays a role, the best pieces are about making you feel confident and polished, whether you’re at work, at brunch, or on a date night," she says.

• Layered necklaces for dimension: Stacking necklaces of varying lengths adds depth and interest to your outfit. A delicate choker with a longer pendant necklace creates a stylish contrast, even when paired with a simple blouse or t-shirt. For a more polished look, try mixing metals like gold and silver for a modern, curated aesthetic.

• Eye-catching earrings: Sometimes, all you need is a striking pair of earrings to elevate your outfit. Whether it’s classic hoops, geometric designs, or statement studs, bold earrings can frame your face and add personality to even the simplest look. "A pair of kundan statement studs can beautifully enhance both traditional and modern outfits," suggests Kathuria.

• Ring stacking: Why wear one ring when you can wear three? Stacking rings allow you to mix textures, metals, and gemstones for a fun, personalized touch. Whether you prefer dainty gold bands or colorful enamel rings, stacking creates a layered, dynamic look that feels effortlessly stylish.

• Cuff bracelets for a chic statement: A sleek cuff bracelet adds instant elegance to your wrist. Whether worn alone for a minimalist look or stacked with thin bangles for a more dramatic effect, this versatile piece transitions effortlessly from work to a night out.

• Mixing metal tones: Gone are the days of matching everything perfectly. The modern trend embraces mixing gold, silver, and rose gold jewellery for a rich, curated look. A combination of different metal tones creates an effortless, fashion-forward vibe without looking too coordinated.

• Customised jewellery: Jewellery becomes even more special when it carries a personal meaning. Engraved necklaces, initial rings, and birthstone bracelets allow you to wear something that feels uniquely yours. "A personalised piece is timeless, it tells your story in a way no trend ever could," says Kathuria.

• Embracing minimalism: Not every day calls for bold pieces. “On days when you want a subtle, refined look, opt for minimalist jewellery: thin gold bangles, delicate chains, or classic stud earrings. These effortless staples pair well with any outfit while keeping things elegant and understated," she says.

• Textural contrast: Mixing textures, like a leather strap watch with delicate gold bangles, adds dimension to your look. “Pairing different materials creates visual intrigue and makes even a basic outfit feel put-together without being overly flashy,” Kathuria says.
