Traditional Gold Jewellery: Classic Elegance
Wearing gold during Navratri puja, especially on auspicious days like Ghatasthapana (1st day of Navratri) or Navami (9th day of Navratri), holds deep cultural significance. Gold symbolizes wealth, divinity, and timeless tradition.
Pros:
- Matches well with silk sarees and lehengas worn during temple visits.
- Ideal for minimalist looks or when you're attending formal rituals.
- Long-term investment piece.
- Great for pairing with red, white, and yellow outfits during 3rd, 2nd, and 5th days of Navratri.
Cons:
- Can feel heavy during long Garba nights.
- Limited styling options for boho or tribal looks.
- May not match the earthy tones of grey, green, or royal blue outfits.
Oxidised Jewellery: Boho, Bold & Beautiful
Oxidised jewellery has become the go-to accessory for Garba and Dandiya nights, especially among younger women and girls. From bold oxidised nose pins to layered tribal necklaces, this style brings flair, freedom, and fun to every outfit.
Pros:
- Lightweight and perfect for dancing during Garba.
- Pairs beautifully with chaniya cholis and fusion Indo-western outfits.
- Offers versatility—mix and match jhumkas, chokers, payals, and bajubands.
- Complements the darker and bolder Navratri colours like grey (7th day), purple (8th day), green (6th day), and royal blue (4th day).
Cons:
- Requires careful storage to avoid tarnishing over time.
- May not suit formal or very traditional events where gold is preferred.
- Needs occasional cleaning to maintain shine and avoid dullness.
