THE NARRATIVE OF DESIRE

When it comes to the festive or wedding season, India sparkles with more than just lights and celebration. For Indians, the narrative of jewellery is informed by an ingrained expression of identity, tradition, and personal style. For this coming season, the shifts in jewellery design speak to a new generation that values heritage, and craftsmanship as much as it does self-expression. So whether you are a bride (or groom)-to-be, a jewellery aficionado, or just someone seeking to elevate your festive wardrobe, this is your guide to the changing dynamics in Indian jewellery.

SUPERIOR CRAFTSMANSHIP

It's no longer enough to wear a large necklace at an event, the quality of its craftsmanship with better grade of precious stones used in the piece together communicate the wearer's refined taste, discerning eye, and family background. Word to the wise: Buy the best quality within your budget; you will benefit from buying a premium-quality spinel instead of a commercial-grade ruby. Buy fewer pieces but scrutinise every segment of the jewel (front and back) to ensure it boasts a fine finish.

HAIR COMES THE BRIDE

A big fat Indian wedding is perfect to go royal, and the few jewels that are integral to this visual are turban and hair ornaments, as well as bejewelled buttons studded with diamonds and gemstones.

Turban ornaments are all the rage as they easily transform into elegant pendants for post-wedding revelry.

Expect more Sherwani or Bandgala buttons for both men and women in diamonds and colourful gems. Brides are also enthusiastically donning hair ornaments sourced from India's vast cultural repository.

THE ABC OF WEIGHT LOSS

THE ABC OF WEIGHT LOSS

Medical research increasingly recognises obesity as more than just a cosmetic issue. Many governments, including India, now classify it as a disease—a metabolic abnormality marked by excess fat. Obesity is linked to 229 health conditions, including diabetes, hypertension, osteoarthritis, infertility and mental health disorders like depression and anxiety. However, combating obesity isn't just about willpower. According to Vikrant Shrotriya of Novo Nordisk India, who spoke on obesity treatments at the India Today Conclave, genetic and metabolic factors predispose individuals to consume more calories than needed. While food availability may have increased, human bodies remain wired to store fat for survival.

PUSHING THE ENVELOPE

With the world and the region in a state of constant turmoil, opinions about the preparedness of the armed forces often come from defence analysts. The audience at the India Today Conclave, however, got to hear all about it from the chiefs of the Indian army, air force and navy as they provided critical insights into India’s evolving security landscape. Army chief Gen. Upendra Dwivedi underscored the deepening military and strategic collusion between China and Pakistan, warning that the threat of a two-front war is very real. The continued threat of cross-border terrorism remains a concern—and though local recruitment in Kashmir has declined, Pakistan remains an instigator, with 60 per cent of neutralised terrorists being nationals of that country.
