Few things in life can match the magic of an Onam morning. Celebrated in the Chingam month of the Malayalam calendar, this harvest festival is also the annual homecoming of the legendary Malayali King, Mahabali.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Decked in traditional attire, the fragrance of fresh flowers being laid out in intricately designed Pookalams (flower carpets) mingles with the aroma of delicacies cooking away for the elaborate Sadhya (authentic Kerala feast), creating an atmosphere of warmth and wellness. What will certainly bring more lustre to this auspicious day? Jewellery that truly reflects the prosperity and splendour of the occasion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s discover today how the right <\/span>jewellery<\/span><\/a> can transform your outfit on this special occasion, leaving you looking and feeling truly wonderful.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For You Gorgeous Women:<\/b><\/p>\n

Right from a variety of sarees to a spectacular array of jewellery crafted from <\/span>gold<\/span><\/a> and precious <\/span>gemstones<\/span><\/a>, dressing up for Onam leaves you spoilt for choice. If you are someone who would love to embrace authentic Kerala jewellery, go for ornate <\/span>necklaces<\/span><\/a> such as the palakka (comprising polished green coloured stones), <\/span>mullamottu mala<\/span><\/a> (resembling the buds of a jasmine) and <\/span>manga mala<\/span><\/a> (synonymous with the paisley motif). You can wear them individually and match them with a pair of heavy <\/span>jhimkis<\/span><\/a> in gold. If wearing all three necklaces together fascinates you, then layer them beautifully and pair them with golden <\/span>studs<\/span><\/a> to look regal. Once you have chosen the jewellery style that works for you, drape a Kasavu saree that is conventionally worn for the celebrations and adorn yourself with fresh jasmine to complete your look.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If modern jewellery is where your heart is at, there is no reason to fret. Lightweight <\/span>earrings<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>chains<\/span><\/a> can also reflect your festive mood without letting go of your personal choices. You could try stunning <\/span>chandelier earrings<\/span><\/a> in <\/span>white<\/span><\/a> or<\/span> rose gold<\/span><\/a> and opt for a statement piece such as a gemstone encrusted <\/span>ring<\/span><\/a> or brooch set in the same metal. There are also lovely creations in <\/span>diamonds<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>pearls<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>platinum<\/span><\/a> that offer a unique appeal. Instead of going the usual route with a Kasavu saree, you could try handlooms or even ethnic fits crafted from other Indian fabrics and prints such as Banarasi, Ajrakh etc. Pair it with classy heels or chunky Kolhapuris and lo and behold – you have put your own spin on this fun-filled day!<\/span><\/p>\n

For You Little Lovelies:\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Dressing up little children can seem like a difficult task on a festive day, particularly getting them to wear jewellery. You can start small and gift your child a pair of <\/span>bangles<\/span><\/a> or <\/span>rings<\/span><\/a> to adorn herself with. Combine this with a pattu paavada set (silk top and skirt) and comfy sandals! Little boys too can join in the fun with a <\/span>gold bracelet<\/span><\/a>. A silk sherwani or shirt-dhoti combo would be perfect for them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A Celebration of Tradition in Diversity:<\/b><\/p>\n

Whether you are a first-time celebrant or a resident of Kerala honouring the day for many years, join the Onam celebrations with great gusto, whilst looking your very best!<\/span><\/p>\n
