Usher in the auspicious festive season with gold jewellery, clothes, sweets and lights. Get ready for a celebratory long  weekend starting Thursday with Dhanteras and ending with Diwali. Two experts tell us how to go about to get the best out of the festival

HYDERABAD: Whether you are attending fancy Diwali parties or an intimate family dinner this festive season, give way to experimenting with accessories and rid yourself of clichés, says an expert. Raminder Singh, principal jewellery designer, Bluestone.com, shares some pointers on how to get your accessory game on point:

Jewellery shopping
It is considered auspicious to buy gold and diamonds for Dhanteras and this is the time to splurge on it. Gold is among the safest of investments and with solid gold also available with banks and establishments, this must be your first priority. Go for diamonds, chunky chokers and solid bangles this season. Peacock jewellery is in vogue.

For family gatherings/dinner
A family gathering in the festive season calls for a combination of comfort and glamour. Go for an unconventional look by stacking up unique charm bracelets and detachable rose quartz chandelier earrings. This allows you to change your look over the course of the day – detaching the chandeliers in the early part of the day to keep it simple and sophisticated while amping up the bling factor for the evening.

Diwali bash
A Diwali bash is all about a fun evening with your friends and family, feasting on some entrees and getting down to your favourite Bollywood tracks. Up your style factor with a heavy gemstone studded statement choker, a hot trend this season, completing the look with a bold index finger cocktail ring. You can keep it traditional or go contemporary.

Card party
Be a trendsetter at this year’s cards party by going for a modern attire and accessories. Look refined with monochromatic onyx jewellery imbibing bold and elegant characteristics to your look for the evening. Onyx ear studs, and some eye catching statement rings are sure to highlight your style. Don’t miss out on a chance of dressing your best and looking second to none at work during Diwali. Simplicity is the key to successful fashion statements at the office, so a pair of elegant hoop earrings are the way to go. Take your pick from gold hoops to patterned and charm hoop earrings.

Lakshmi Puja
Opt for a traditional look with your mother’s heirloom sari, paired with contemporary styled chandbalis, a zany nath and a diamond studded hand harness designed with playful motifs to give a modern twist to your timelessly classic look.
