26 pictures that will take you inside Karisma Kapoor’s jewellery collection

From oversized hoops to timeless diamond studs, Kapoor’s jewellery choices serve as an easy masterclass in the power of classics

Over the years, Karisma Kapoor has honed her sartorial presence with a firm eye on classics. Gifted with a taste for the finer things in life, her wardrobe is dotted with timeless pieces and sartorial investments that will stand you in good stead over the decades. “I'm a firm believer in keeping accessories to a minimum—you'll rarely see me wearing earrings. I like sharp looks and sometimes jewellery just isn't required. If I'm wearing a red gown to an event, as someone who likes to edit her jewellery down to one piece, I'll give earrings a miss for a slightly statement necklace. For anything other than the red carpet, my only finishing touch is a statement watch,” she once penned in an editorial for Vogue. Join us in taking a closer look at the statement pieces that have earned Kapoor’s nod of approval.

Karisma Kapoor’s jewellery choices for daywear

If you were to peek inside Kapoor’s jewellery kit, you’d find the minimalist memo reigning strong. Not a fan of overly done up looks, the star looks to single impactful pieces for cinching her daywear looks together. Among the select few candidates that make the cut are oversized hoops, and she has modern iterations of the classic silhouette on repeat. For the promotions of her upcoming web series, Mentalhood, the star stepped out in a head-to-toe tan look. The finishing touches came in the form of a leopard print hair tie and slogan gold hoops. The silhouette has made frequent cameos in her daywear looks, and was paired with a monochrome pantsuit for a friend’s birthday party last year. The star chose to mirror the foil-printed motifs with a pair of oversized hoops from Misho Designs. On those days when you find yourself getting stuck in a styling rut, break free by inviting some hair accessories into the mix. For a recent outing, the mother of two opted for an icy blue pantsuit from Edeline Lee. Sidestepping the expected styling choices, she reached for classic diamond studs before dipping her hair into an extreme side part and securing it in place with coordinated white hairpins. 

Decoding Karisma Kapoor’s Indian jewellery collection

If you thought that Indian wear ensembles were best reserved for the family occasions on your social calendar, Kapoor would like you to think again. The 45-year-old swung by Kolkata for a whirlwind visit last year, and was spotted at the airport in a breezy kurta and palazzo set from Anita Dongre. With her hair braided into a voluminous fishtail braid and a pop of blue shimmer in the crease of her eyes, she looped in a pair of chaandbalis into her ears as the finishing touch. On the wedding circuit, her chameleonic sense of style has her switching things up regularly. For the recent nuptials of cousin Armaan Jain, she hit refresh on her usual choices. The signature chandbalis made way for a pair of dangling jhumkas at the mehandi celebrations. For the hair, she chose to pull her tresses into a crown braid which was punctuated by a maang tikka. The experimental streak continued for the main wedding ceremony, and she gave the maximalist aesthetic her own minimalist spin with a delicate rani haar, anchored by an ornate gold choker at the neck. The layering memo extended to the stacked kadas on each wrist, while the jhumkas in her ears were framed by skinny wisps of hair.
