    Nostalgic Revival: Timeless Silver Jewellery Trends

    Jewellery often brings back vivid memories. While walking past a jewellery store, a grandmother gazes longingly at the Nakshi  in one of the cases closer to the back. She points and tells her granddaughter, "You know, I had a jewellery set just like that one when I was younger. Your grandfather bought it for me.". The granddaughter's eyes light up as she asks her mother if her dad would buy her the same.

    Heirloom jewellery is often forgotten and kept behind locked doors to wait for 'the right occasion.' While those occasions may come, Paksha is here to remind you that these pieces need love and care, too, from time to time.

    In this blog, we revive those latent memories of your childhood - where you got to watch your mother dress up for Diwali wearing a necklace that has been passed down for three generations, your grandmother giving you her pearl necklace to wear for her birthday, and now you - all while creating more in the future with Paksha.

    As each piece holds within it the whispers of ancient times, let us embark on this revival, celebrating the enduring charm of Nakshi, Victorian, and Jadau collections.

    Nakshi Jewellery

    Our Nakshi collection, meticulously handcrafted, transports you to ancient times when heavy jewellery was trendy. This jewellery is made from sheets of silver and gold that are moulded into intricate designs. Nakshi jewellery is one of India's most well-loved and revived jewellery styles today. This style also featured stones like kempu and green polki, which can be seen today. 

    Did you know this jewellery was meant to be presented to and worn by the gods? It truly was! In the early Chola and Pandya eras, this type of jewellery was abundant, meaningful, and cherished.  Celebrities and ordinary folk wear this style to attend various occasions.

    Explore the opulent grandeur of Temple jewellery with the Nakshi collection and bask in the revival of sweet memories. 

    Add traditional glow to your outfits with the Ganesha Balaji Antique Silver Kempu Choker Set. 

    With choker sets growing in popularity these days, this one is going to become a staple since it suits any color, and is perfect for all occasions.

    The Victorian Experience  

    Speaking of memories, do you remember your first introduction to the Victorian Era? Our history books may not have captured the beauty of this era, but the jewelry certainly does. The Victorian period was an era of British colonization and significant cultural growth for the nation and those under it. These cultural changes meant that jewelry was made akin to architecture, abundant with floral and stone-cut motifs, which were the most notable aspects of the time. 

    Our Victorian Collection is based on this cultural change, studded with Cubic zirconia, polki, and semi-precious emeralds to mimic the astute brilliance of Victorian diamond jewelry, all without breaking the bank! With striking pieces that will remind you of your grandmother's jewelry box, let's look at a few of our favorites: 

    The beautiful mixture of cluster pearls and moissanite stones in the Elephant Floral Moissanite Silver Long Necklace Set makes for a look into the past with a recreation of what would otherwise be uncut diamonds set in gold. The Victorian polish reflects on your skin, bathing you in its sparkle.

    Jadau Jewelry 

    Jadau Jewelry is rooted in the Mughal era, specific to the regions of Gujarat and Rajasthan, where this style flourished. Like other jewelry styles, this style also draws inspiration from Mughal culture and architecture. Styles like Kundan and Polki are also part of this overall jewelry style.  

    The most common motifs here are animals, such as fish, peacocks, and elephants. The most common floral motif is generally that of the lotus, made with red kempu and green kempu stones. 

    If you want to relive the grand beauty of the Mughals, we have just the thing for you, our Vihara collection! Seamlessly marrying regal grandeur with modern gemstone settings, each piece offers you a chance to adorn yourself with the magnificence of Kundan and Polki work.
