Matt for Indian and Western outfits

The matt effect has been very popular with lipsticks and nail polishes, but now imitation jewellery too shall have the same matt finish to give that much of a desired matted look! These golden colour ornaments like ear-studs, jhumkas, rings, necklaces, and so on have stolen the show as they come without the loud gloss and glitter. Matt jewellery gives a very contemporary look blended with a funky appeal. So they can be worn both with Indian as well as Western outfits.

They are absolutely inexpensive compared to gold jewellery and yet they look equally elegant and dignified. The designs are arresting and they are studded with shining American diamonds to give that gorgeous, chic look! A lot of matt jewellery which are studded with ‘Kundans’ (uncut stones) generate an antique look.

The durability of matt jewellery is about six months after which the colour fades gradually and they need to be polished. They can be polished with chemicals like radium to regain their shine. The price also varies according to the quality and the place one picks them from. These inexpensive imitation jewellery do not appear fake at all, as they are fantastic replications of the Indian traditional jewellery. People are indulging in these imitation jewellery in order to look gorgeous and also feel safe about their ornaments! So the followers of high street fashion must ensure that they have these latest fashionable accessories to go with their clothes!

If you are feeling bored wearing a simple chain and a locket, guess what, it is time for you to wear it the other way round! It can give you smart, chic look. And long chains can carry this fashion better than shorter ones. The procedure of sporting this fashion statement is simple. Wear your chain as a loop but not in the conventional way of wearing chains. Don’t lock the open ends; instead clip the chain at the nape of your neck with the help of a gorgeous brooch pin such that a considerable length of the chain dangles freely from both ends. You can use a small stone-studded hair clip as well.

You must ensure that the style is seen completely or else the charm will be lost .Hence this creative accessory will look best with flashy party wears such as off shoulder, one strap dresses, spaghettis, and of course cocktail dresses. You can sprinkle silver, golden and matching coloured glitters around the accessory on your neck. This will certainly make you dazzle in a crowd!
