Explore Trending Styles in Indian Jewelry & Fashion

Welcome to the styles hub at RH Jewellers. Here you’ll find short guides that answer the real questions you have about jewelry, clothing and the culture behind them. Want to know what 875 on gold means? Curious if a nose pin suits your face? We’ve got a simple answer for each.

Jewelry Basics You Can Use Today

First, let’s talk purity. The number 875 on a piece tells you it’s 21‑karat gold, which is the same as 91.5% pure. Look for the BIS hallmark to confirm it’s genuine. If you see a magnet, that usually means the piece has some steel – a sign it might be plated rather than solid gold. Quick tests like the weight‑to‑size check can also help you spot cheap items before you spend.

Silver shows up as 833 on many Indian pieces. That means the metal is 83.3% pure silver, the rest is usually copper. Knowing this helps you compare prices and avoid low‑quality replicas. Whether you’re buying a silver chain or a gold bangle, checking the hallmark saves money.

Style Choices That Match Your Look

Choosing a nose pin? The right shape depends on your face. If you have a round face, go for a long, thin stud – it adds vertical lines that balance the roundness. For a square face, a round or oval stud softens sharp angles. Color matters too; gold works well with warm tones, while silver pairs nicely with cool outfits.

Thinking about colors to wear with gold jewelry? Contrasting shades like teal, emerald or deep red make gold pop. If you prefer a subtle look, stay with neutrals like ivory or navy. The key is to keep the outfit simple so the gold remains the star.

Black bangles and black beads in a mangalsutra often carry cultural meaning. Traditionally they symbolize protection and ward off negativity. Modern designers use them for a sleek look, mixing classic symbolism with contemporary style.

When buying jewelry, the city matters. Jaipur is famous for gold, Surat for diamonds, and Hyderabad for pearls. Visiting these hubs gives you a better chance of finding authentic pieces and negotiating fair prices.

If you’re planning to invest, look for brands with high resale value. Classic designs, especially those with pure gold or certified diamonds, tend to hold value better than trend‑heavy pieces.

Got a favorite fabric? Cotton and bamboo stay cool in India’s hot climate, while silk and pashmina are perfect for festive evenings. Pairing the right fabric with the right jewelry makes any outfit feel polished.

Finally, remember that style is personal. Whether you wear a mangalsutra or skip it, choose what feels right for you. The best look is the one you feel confident in.
