Parties, whether intimate or large held, in the week of Diwali are an excuse for all involved to play dress up. But there’s more to it than just dressing to feel good, tradition is entwined in the sartorial aspect of the celebration.

Bring out your favourite pieces of natural diamond jewellery to plan ahead. Making a mood board of your looks with colours is a good place to start.

Think of your favourite Wes Anderson movie, or the jacket of a book you love and transport yourself to somewhere a bit magical and let your creativity take over. Imagine your favourite television character during Diwali–what would they wear during a chance meet cute at a card party? Would they ever be stuck in an awkward work gathering straight out of The Office? Keep a few references handy to make shopping for the festive season aimed towards something little less simplistic than just simply looking good.
Cocktail Hour: Nail that Diamond Sparkle
You can be as style-forward as you like at a card party. Low on rituals but high on excitement, this night is typically one you spend with friends or cousins. The pressure to dress modestly is quite low. In fact, you can get as experimental as you like with silhouettes that feel flattering. Choose sparkly shoulder dusters with a touch of gemstones for a vibrant look. The sparkle of the natural diamonds will complement the hue on your ensemble creating an all-over dazzling effect. Choose a strapless number to let your shoulder dusters shine through the night.

Sticking to tradition is often appreciated and you can go the extra mile by planning a photo op for everyone, complete with a dress code. Our pick for this occasion is a gorgeous metallic sari with a matching blouse. The translucent organza of the sari offers a slight body to the drape, meanwhile the sheer fabric evokes a sense of timeless grace. Pair your look with a stunning collar of natural diamonds. by Studio Reves. Given the brilliance of the standout piece that really packs a punch, you can style it with small hoops.

A diamond bracelet worn with a brooch will match the grandeur of the occasion.
Family Gathering: A Dazzling
Get-Together
There are few relationships as special as those shared between siblings. You may fight through the year but festivals have a way of bringing back good times and creating an environment to make new memories. For a brunch with your cousins and family, a day associated with great laughter and merriment, we are leaning towards brighter tones. Think burnt oranges and mixed metals. Keep your sparkles minimal but impactful and focus on stacking the right pieces. A statement tennis necklace and a standout engagement diamond ring paired with the right set of natural diamond danglers will do the trick. Go handsfree in a rich Anavila silk kurta set. Wear a stunning diamond necklace to accentuate the brocade undertones in your outfit.
