Silver jewellery has a strong hold in desi looks, whether it's the breezy, bohemian fits for brunches and hangouts or classy accessories perfect for workwear.

Celebs both on-screen and off-screen embrace the charm of silver pieces for an effortless look. (Reference pics: Pinterest) ALSO READ: Pearls reimagined: 5 looks that show the never-seen-before versatility of this classic accessory Over the decades, silver has had its strong moment, both on screen and off in Bollywood, like Alia Bhatt's Rani Chatterjee in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, unapologetically pairing stylish nose pins and jhumkas with sarees and bindi at the workplace (classic desi boss lady vibes). Or Sonam Kapoor's character Bittu Sharma from Delhi-6, rocking a headscarf, halter neck top, midi skirt with chunky silver necklace, earrings and a baajubandh (for that uber cool vibe). Even off-screen, celebs stun in silver, like Aditi Rao Hydari's selfie, featuring stacked silver bangles and jhumkas (jhumka is a non-negotiable staple in every desi girl's wardrobe, even celebs). So, if you wish to make your accessorising game look effortlessly 'desi, confident, and hot-girl snatched', you have got to get your basics right, starting with the fundamentals of silver jewellery. HT Lifestyle reached out to experts to understand some of the key styling rules related to silver jewellery. Festive occasion-centric styling Silver jewellery pairs beautifully with ethnic wear, just like how Sanya Malhotra effortlessly styled a printed saree with elegant silver pieces. Saree is often worn during festive occasions, and when paired with silver, the look feels cohesive and complete. Even beyond festive celebrations or ethnic wear, silver adds a distinct charm. Aditya Modak, co-founder of Gargi & Utsaav by P N Gadgil and Sons, shared with HT Lifestyle some festive occasion-wise styling tips for oxidised jewellery. From grand weddings to intimate pujas and even workwear, he unpacked how oxidised silver pieces can be versatile. He said, 'One of the biggest strengths of oxidised jewellery is its ability to transition effortlessly into everyday wardrobes. A chunky ring with a matte finish, a geometric pendant, or engraved cuffs can turn even a simple jeans-and-shirt combination into something intentional. Worn with a monochrome jumpsuit or an oversized linen shirt, these accents speak of quiet confidence and style that does not try too hard.' Aditya further listed the silver jewellery pieces based on the occasion: Wedding: Intricately carved choker or a pair of oversized jhumkas layered with silver bangles can bring a touch of drama to a traditional look. Whether paired with a heritage silk saree or a richly embroidered lehenga, these pieces anchor the entire ensemble.

A layered chain with delicate silver charms, or dainty studs with engraved detailing, pairs well with flowy kurtas, fusion wear, or even simple cotton sarees. Lighter pieces are ideal.

Workwear: Silver ear cuffs How to do layering? Layering is about wearing multiple pieces together.(Reference Pics: Pinterest/@bidisha7roy and Pinterest/@selflove) Now that you have a general overview of what type of pieces usually go with an occasion, let's take a closer look at one of the popular styling principles: layering. Layering is all about stacking multiple pieces of jewellery, like rings, necklaces, and bangles, to create visual depth and dimension in your look. It adds more personality and texture to your outfit. Sanya Khandelwal, founder of Kicky and Perky, shared a guide to the rules regarding layering silver jewellery: 1. Asymmetrical length creates depth The easiest thing to play with, when attempting to layer, is length. Using necklaces or pendants of varying lengths creates visual focus and depth. You will want to try a short choker-style neckpiece along with mid-sized or long necklaces or pendants to create a cascading effect. If you can wear multiple ear piercings, consider using a stud in anything other than the lower lobe (the most common) piercing; wear a drop earring, a dangler or a hoop to create layers. 2. Start with the centre piece Choose a piece that can stand out, a statement piece that captures visual attention. Make it the focal point of your ensemble, and then work around it. Add elements of various styles/sizes that almost frame the main piece of interest, thus adding a dramatic flair to the outfit. 3. Consistency One easy and classic method of layering is with either the same or similar materials- the same metal, textures, colours and designs. You could, alternatively, also experiment with contrast utilising different kinds of colours, textures and metals. Contrasting these elements, based on other features of the overall outfit, can create some cool fits. 4. Day and night During the day, use simple and delicate pieces; nothing too extraordinary. At night, swap out one of the more subtle pieces for a piece of dramatic and bold statement jewellery.

Exclusive: Deepak Dobriyal says he's waiting for the right biopic, not just any role
Actor Deepak Dobriyal recently spoke about the kind of work he wants to pursue and the challenges of picking meaningful projects in today's film industry. In an exclusive interview with India Today, Dobriyal shared that despite his longstanding desire, he is yet to take on a biopic, something he has been hoping to do since 2007– about the roles he wants to play in his upcoming films, he said he wishes to do biopics on Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Pinki Pramanik, and Dhyan are so many characters I want to play. I want to do a biopic on Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, I wanted to do one on Pinki Pramanik, I wanted to do one on Dhyan Chand. There are many others too. And there are some more now, but I won't say anything about those yet, because every time I say it, others end up making the biopic except me. I've been talking about these since 2007-2008, so now I won't speak, I'll show through action,' he said. Dobriyal shared that he is drawn to characters rooted in real life or literature because of the depth and difficulty they demand. 'I want to do these roles because they're challenging. People already know and admire these figures, so portraying them is very difficult. Or if it's a character based on literature, or someone from real-life incidents, those are the kind of roles I want to do,' he actor also addressed the industry's tendency to typecast and how producers often push for familiar formulas. 'A lot of really good scripts are coming to me. So, I don't want to repeat the kind of roles I've already done. I want to do something new. But producers often have a direct demand - take this actor, his comic timing is great, or his villainous approach is fantastic. Here, you're expected to show shades that haven't been seen before. I consider all that, and if the story is good and there's a solid director attached. I give preference to a good director, a good script, and a strong star cast,' he Dobriyal has built a reputation as one of the most talented and versatile actors in Indian cinema, with memorable performances in films like 'Maqbool', 'Omkara', 'Delhi-6', 'Tanu Weds Manu', and 'Hindi Medium'. He was last seen in the crime thriller 'Sector 36', based on the 2006 Nithari serial murders, where he played Inspector Ram Charan Pandey opposite Vikrant Massey.- Ends

Divya Dutta recalls kidnapping threat: ‘Har Jagah Aisa Hota Hai'
Bollywood actress Divya Dutta recently opened up about a terrifying chapter from her childhood during the turbulent Punjab insurgency of the 1980s. In a candid conversation with Hindi Rush, the actress revealed that she once received a kidnapping threat when she was young, claiming that the incident deeply impacted her and her family. Divya explained that during the time of unrest, some individuals took advantage of the prevailing fear and uncertainty. She revealed that a letter threatening to kidnap her, was sent to their home, leaving her family distressed. Despite the fear, Divya emphasised the power of community support in small towns helped her pull through. 'Chote sheheron mein support system bahut strong hota hai,' she remarked, adding that people often came together to help each other. Her mother, who was raising her alone, found strength in the close-knit bonds of the neighbourhood. 'Small town ki beauty yeh hoti hai ki aapke sab rishtedaar aapke aas pass hote hain. Meri mummy akeli thi, toh har koi unke saath khada tha... Jab aap akele hote huye bhi akele nahi hote, woh shayad ek khoobsurat neighbourhood hota hai,' Divya recalled, reflecting on the warmth and solidarity they received from their small-town community during that difficult time. Eventually, it turned out that the letter was a fake—sent by someone hoping to stir fear during already unstable times. Divya Dutta, for over three decades, has moved effortlessly between different film genres and roles. Whether it was her tender presence in 'Veer Zaara', her strength in 'Bhaag Milkha Bhaag', or the darker shades she explored in Badlapur, Divya never once played it safe. She's been part of ensemble hits like 'Delhi-6' and 'Baghban'. Divya Dutta spotted at a city event
