Jewellery as Your Personal Style Statement

The right piece can transform a simple outfit into a complete look—whether you’re heading to work, celebrating festivals, or attending a wedding. At Shangri, we design jewellery for every mood and moment: minimal American Diamond (AD) studs for daily wear, regal Kundan and Polki sets for weddings, divine Temple pieces for tradition, and durable Anti-Tarnish and Stainless Steel options for fuss-free elegance.

Everyday Elegance – Anti-Tarnish & Stainless Steel

For daily wear, comfort and durability come first. Our Anti-Tarnish finishes help pieces retain their shine even with frequent use, while Stainless Steel (SS) offers lightweight, skin-friendly strength.

Style picks: AD studs, tiny hoops, minimalist huggies, slim chains.
  • Pairs well with: shirts, kurtis, denim, workwear.
  • Finish guide: polished steel, soft gold-tone, rhodium.

Quick Fit Tips

  • Choose huggies that sit close to the lobe for a neat office look.
  • AD studs (3–5mm) are ideal “dress up or down” staples.

Bridal & Festive – Kundan, Polki & Temple

Weddings and festivals call for statement craftsmanship. Kundan (glass-set stones) and Polki (uncut-stone look) bring royal charm, while Temple jewellery adds divinity through heritage motifs and rich gold plating.

FAQs

What’s the difference between AD, Kundan and Polki?

AD (American Diamond) gives a brilliant diamond-like sparkle at an accessible price. Kundan features stones set with traditional foiling techniques for a royal look. Polki mimics the uncut-stone aesthetic—regal, bold and festive.

Which metals/finishes are best for daily wear?

Anti-Tarnish finishes and Stainless Steel (SS) are the most fuss-free for everyday use. Choose small hoops, huggies and studs for comfort.

How do I pick jewellery for weddings and festivals?

Go for Kundan, Polki or Temple sets—chandbalis, jhumkas and layered necklaces. Add pearl accents or antique finishes for depth.

Can I mix metals?

Yes—mix gold and rhodium/silver for contemporary looks. Keep silhouettes clean if you’re mixing finishes.

Whether you love the sparkle of AD, the heritage of Kundan/Polki, the sanctity of Temple, the ease of Anti-Tarnish/SS, the artistry of Oxidised/Copper/Brass, or the grace of Pearls—Shangri has a piece that completes your look.
