Navratri brings nine nights of garba and dandiya to societies, grounds and venues across Pune. Jewellery for these nights needs to look festive, catch the light and survive hours of dancing.
Choose secure pieces
- Earrings: lightweight jhumkas or chandbalis, or earrings with secure backs.
- Necklaces: chokers or shorter necklaces that will not swing into your face.
- Bangles and kadas: a few sturdy bangles rather than many thin glass ones that may break.
- Anklets: bold payals add sound and style to footwork. See anklets guide.
Oxidised and mirror styles
Oxidised silver-tone jewellery, mirror work and colourful thread designs are long-time favourites for Navratri, pairing well with chaniya cholis and colourful outfits. See our oxidised jewellery guide.
Matching the nine colours
Many people follow a colour for each day of Navratri. Plan jewellery that suits several colours, such as oxidised silver tones and gold tones with multi-coloured stones.
Comfort for long nights
- 1Avoid very heavy earrings for several hours of dancing.
- 2Check that hooks and clasps are secure before leaving home.
- 3Carry a small pouch to store any piece that becomes uncomfortable.
After the night
Sweat can dull finishes. Wipe each piece with a dry cloth when you get home and let it air before storing.
