When Pink Floyd composed their number “Any Colour You Like,” they might not have known the same idea holds true for Indian festivals. Colour has always held a special place in Indian adornment. Reds, greens, and other gemstone shades, the warmth of gold, and the sparkle of diamonds have appeared together in our jewellery for centuries, creating permutations and combinations that feel particularly at home during any festival. Even today, colour keeps changing the character of a piece, lending it a freshness that makes the all-too-familiar material feel a little different.
Let us take this forward with an example. Imagine a diamond necklace punctuated with rubies. The contrast between the stones is a sure-fire way to add personality, balancing the sparkle of the setting with the richness of colour. It is a striking choice for a festive wardrobe, but hey you, it need not be reserved for a single evening alone. Worn with a traditional outfit, it can feel celebratory; paired with a simpler one, it can become the detail around which the entire look is built. So go ahead, wear it any way you like.
Then there are pieces where colour becomes part of the artistry itself. Like floral forms meeting a union of enamel and diamonds. Pieces that feel joyful without ever being predictable. Ones that offer a different way to approach festive jewellery, not simply as something precious, but as something with a personality. Much like yourself.
