One aspect that seamlessly defines Maharashtra’s rich cultural and traditional history is the jewellery that its women have been donning for centuries now. These accessories that once played a key role in the overall look of the typical Maharashtrian woman, seem to have faded away with time. So, on the occasion of Maharashtra Day, we decided to hit the rewind button and revive a few traditional styles along with tips on how to wear them with a little help from stylists Mitali Ambekar and Chaitali Kulkarni.
Chinchapeti – Chinchapeti that emerged during the Maratha regime in the 17th century, is usually passed down from one generation to the other. It is a choker necklace made of gold and pearl beads, all woven together. You can wear this with an organza saree and an intricately woven blouse for a traditional look. Pick a saree with a golden finish.
