Tiny Treasures That Stole Our Hearts: A Small Diamond Necklace

There is no denying the fact that we Indians have a complicated relationship with jewellery, just as dramatic as a Bollywood rom-com. On one hand, we love our chunky gold sets for weddings, duh! The ones that are similar to the sets that our grandmothers swore by and our mothers hoarded temple jewellery like it was going out of style, but us? We are the generation that wants it to be traditional but with a side of modernity. 

We like jewellery pieces that serve opulence without screaming, “Look at me,” and pieces that offer seamless transition from office to brunches to weddings and to that random Monday blues when you just want to feel special. 

Hence we present you with the dazzling beauty of small diamond necklaces, the perfect bridge between “my mom approves of this” and “I have my own damn style.”

This is where a trusty small diamond necklace will take your mood from ‘just rolled out of bed’ to ‘boss lady’ way faster than you think.

3 Unexpected Times a Small Diamond Necklace Can be Styled

Let’s get this straight: life is too short to repeat boring jewellery. Here are 5 unexpected times when you can style a small diamond necklace:

Simply throw on a casual co-ord set and pair it with a small diamond necklace. 

The “I’m Just Running Errands” Scenario

To be honest, whenever we step out to run everyday errands, we always hope not to run into an acquaintance, but if we ever do, we might want to be prepared for that too. We are sure you have picked a safe outfit, maybe denims with a casual tee; to complete the look, pair it with a delicate diamond necklace and a pair of lab diamond studs.
