How to Style Jewellery for Ashtami

Ashtami is usually the most important day of Durga Puja, with anjali in the morning and celebrations continuing through the evening. Here's how to plan your jewellery around a full day that shifts from ritual to celebration.

Morning Anjali: Keep It Elegant and Comfortable

Anjali means sitting and standing for extended periods, often in a crowd, so choose jewellery that's elegant but won't get in the way. A choker like the Anti-Tarnish Gold Tassel Choker Necklace sits close to the neck and stays secure, paired with small studs rather than heavy drops.

Daytime: Add a Bit More Colour

As the day moves into family visits and photos, you can layer in a bit more colour and texture. The Elegant Braided Colorful Statement Necklace works well here, along with a stacked bangle look from The Modern Bangle Collection.

Evening: Go Bold

Evening Ashtami celebrations are the time to bring out your most dramatic pieces. Switch to the Art Deco Crystal Chandelier Earrings with Cascading Fringe and swap your daytime bag for a clutch like the Luxury Black Handcrafted Sequin Clutch Bag.

One Ring to Tie It Together

Keep your ring simple throughout the day so it works with every stage of your look, an adjustable piece like the Adjustable Layered-Look Star Ring is a good fit.
