From digging into your grandmother's jewellery box to bookmarking old-world designs on Instagram, most brides like to include a little nostalgia in their treasured collections. Trends come and trends go, but some classics like taveez necklaces, minakari kadas or navratana pieces will never loose their charm. While they add magic to traditional Indian outfits, there's no reason to reserve them for festive occasions only. Think of adding colour to a crisp white shirt with your emerald-encrusted choker or pair your passed-down kadas with a gold watch to make a unique statement. Ahead, we show you different ways of bringing out your prized possessions to wear more than just once. 

1. Stack them up 

Nothing compares to arm candy. Wear your heirlooms separately or stacked together for maximum effect.

2. Make a statement

Let your jewellery be the hero, whether styled with a white shirt and a pair of jeans for the day, or a black cocktail sari for an evening do.

3. Play with different styles

Mix and match different pieces. Layer your taveez necklace with an old-world enamel design for a match made in heaven.

4. Innovate

Break away from the usual and find new ways to sport legacy wares. A brooch is a gorgeous way to display your heirlooms.

5. Wear them every day 

High-top earrings are the easiest way to incorporate a heritage piece into your daily life. Sport them through the day and keep them on for a night out too.

6. Ring it up

Wear one ring at a time or layer a mix of multiple pieces on different fingers for an eclectic bohemian vibe.
