We Tried This Brand's Jewellery In Time For The Festive Season. Do We Approve?
What Makes Them Awesome
As and when the festive and shaadi season rolls around all you want to do is deck up, eat good food, and deck up some more. Now, an important part about getting ready, be it a small puja at home or your best friend's Nikkah, is wearing jewellery! Not always will you be wanting to (or honestly afford to) wear real jewellery and hence turn to imitation or artificial jewellery that doesn't look cheap and yet does maximum justice to your outfit.
We found just the brand for great looking "classic and timeless" jewellery whose collection will make every festive outfit shine through. Azai by Nykaa fashion is a great online stop for the busy bee, or if you really don't wish to break the bank. Their collection is extensive with mostly silver and gold plated products, made up of materials such as alloy, brass, copper, and more.
What we love most about their collection is that while their products lean mostly on the ethnic and festive side, you'll spot several styles within that umbrella like—kundan, meenakari, oxidised silver, "temple", minimal, and much more.
At first glance, our hearts are set on the oxidised silver nose pins and anklets which are very traditional looking yet sleek and modern. We also love these silver earrings which are somewhat jhumka like with a very intricate peacock design that is so unique! When it comes to sets, you'll find styles from your classic gold sets like this one, to the more modern chic-er ones like this. If you want to score kundan jewellery, then check this out!
The complete range is quite affordable with nose pins starting at INR 497 (without discount) going up to INR 5,200 which is a statement gold plated set. Other heavier sets which is a smaller collection, tend to fall under this INR 5,000 bracket.
LBB Verdict
We've picked up a few pieces, and while you may think they're very light and flimsy, these earrings and this mathapatti withstood five hours of hectic dancing. We also got these easy, clip on nose pins which didn't hurt through the day, even for someone who was just experimenting for fun!
But don't forget to carefully read and follow the care instructions to make your jewellery last longer. These are not of the highest quality, so don't expect them to last forever, especially if you're not entirely careful!
