Most imitation jewellery gifts miss because they are chosen for an occasion rather than a person. A heavy set bought for one wedding sits in its box for a year. The pieces that actually get worn are the small ones: the studs that go with everything, the hoops that go from the office to dinner, the one pair of loud earrings that becomes someone's signature. That is what we make, and almost all of it costs less than ₹1,000.
There are thirty-two pieces in the studio right now, and thirty-one of them sit between ₹599 and ₹799. They fall into two families that do very different jobs: gold-tone pieces for every day, and beaded statement earrings for the days you want to be noticed. This guide walks through both, piece by piece, with the price of each as it stands today. Everything is in the imitation jewellery collection.
First, what it is
Everything in this range is imitation jewellery. Every piece is gold-toned plating over a metal base, finished with an anti-tarnish coating so the colour holds longer than ordinary plated pieces. It is not gold, it is not gold-filled, and it carries no karat value. We say this on every product page because it is the honest description, and because it is the reason a pair of hoops costs ₹799.
That is not a compromise. It means you can wear it every day without the worry that comes with wearing something precious, lose one earring without grief, and choose the colour you actually want instead of the one that feels safe.
The gold-tone everyday pieces
These are the pieces you put on in the morning without thinking about it. Clean shapes, a warm gold tone, and nothing that competes with what you are wearing.
Studs, ₹599 to 699
- Mini flower studs, ₹599. A tiny gold flower. Right for a second piercing, or for anyone who wears studs every day and wants one more pair in rotation.
- Flower studs with a blue stone, ₹599. The same idea with a point of colour at the centre.
- Ribbon bow studs, ₹599. A small gold bow. Playful without being childish, and the easiest pair on this list to give.
- Petal studs, ₹699. A gold petal that holds its own when the hair is pulled back.
Hoops, ₹699 to 799
- Pavé huggie hoops, ₹699. Small hoops that sit close to the lobe, with a line of pavé along the front. The pair that goes from a video call to a dinner without changing.
- Oval drop hoops, ₹799. An engraved oval hanging from a hoop. More movement, still quiet.
- Puffed heart drop hoops, ₹799. A small rounded heart on a hoop. Sweet enough for Karwa Chauth, simple enough for an ordinary Tuesday.
Necklaces, ₹799
- Enamel fin pendant, ₹799. A gold pendant with a sweep of enamel, in blue, red or teal. The colour is the point, so choose it for the person.
- Evil eye flower pendant, ₹799. A nazar set into a flower. A protective symbol that works as a gift for almost anyone, and particularly for someone starting something new.
- Evil eye station necklace, blue, ₹799. Blue evil eyes set at intervals along the chain. Made for layering.
- Layered double-chain pendant necklace, ₹799. Two chains that sit as one, so it gives the layered look without wearing two necklaces.
One piece sits above the line: the Star Lariat set in blue at ₹1,399, and it is the only imitation jewellery we make over ₹1,000. It belongs in our guide to Diwali gifts under ₹2,500 as much as here.
Bracelets, ₹699 to 799
- Double-band cuff, ₹699. Two fine bands joined into one cuff. The quiet one.
- Twisted rope cuff, ₹799. A cuff with a twisted rope texture. The statement version of the double band.
- Heart charm bracelet, multicolour, ₹799. Coloured heart charms on gold.
- Star and evil eye charm bracelet, black, ₹799. Stars and a nazar with black stone. The one for the friend who already owns everything pink.
Rings, ₹599 to 699
- Adjustable oval wrap ring, ₹599. Adjustable, which makes it the safest ring to give when you do not know someone's size.
- Sculptural V ring, ₹599. A clean V shape that points down the finger.
- Hammered signet ring, ₹699. A small signet with a hammered face. Reads well on any hand.
- Pineapple texture statement ring, ₹699. A textured surface that catches the light. The ring people ask about.
The beaded statement earrings, all ₹599
This is the other half of the collection, and the more fun one. Nine designs, each beaded by hand, each bright enough to be the whole outfit. Wear them with a plain kurta or a white shirt and let them do the work.
- Flamingo, pink. Pink, playful and impossible to miss.
- Watermelon drops, pink and green. A slice of summer that refuses to end.
- Rainbow, multicolour. Every colour at once, for the person who will not choose.
- Clover, black and pink. The bold one. Black and pink holds its own against a dark outfit.
- Scallop shell, red. A shell shape in red, which is festive without trying.
- Daisy drops, white and yellow. The softest pair of the nine.
- Flower drops, cream. The pair that goes with the most, because cream sits with any colour.
- Flower statement, teal. A large teal flower for the person who wears jewel tones.
- Flower cluster, pink and green. Several small flowers gathered into one earring.
Because these are beaded by hand, the beads sit a little differently from pair to pair. Two flamingos from the same batch are cousins, not twins. That is not a defect. It is the difference between something made by a person and something stamped out by a machine.
Choosing for the person
The person who wears the same studs every day. Do not try to replace them. Add to them. The mini flower studs or the ribbon bows work as a second pair, and the pavé huggies are the step up for evenings.
The person with a loud wardrobe. Gold-tone, not beaded. A printed outfit and beaded earrings compete. A hammered signet or an enamel fin pendant sits under the print and finishes it.
The person with a plain wardrobe. Beaded. Someone who dresses in white, black and denim is exactly the person a pair of watermelon drops was made for.
The teenager. The beaded earrings, without hesitation. ₹599, bright, and nothing a parent will worry about losing.
The mother or the aunt. The evil eye flower pendant or the puffed heart hoops. Both carry a little meaning without asking to be worn only on special days.
When you do not know their size or their taste. The adjustable oval wrap ring, or the layered double-chain necklace. Neither needs a size and neither makes a strong claim about style.
Wearing it through the festive season
Navratri, Dussehra, Karwa Chauth, Diwali and Bhai Dooj arrive one after another between October and November, and each asks for something slightly different. Imitation jewellery at this price lets you change with them rather than wearing the same heavy set to all five.
Navratri evenings are for colour and movement, which means the beaded earrings. The rainbow, the teal flower and the flower cluster all hold their own under lights and through a long night of dancing.
Karwa Chauth suits something with meaning. The puffed heart hoops are the obvious choice and the right one.
Diwali itself belongs to gold. Stack the double-band cuff with the twisted rope cuff, add the pavé huggies, and let the lamps do the rest.
If you are building a whole Diwali list rather than buying one piece, our Diwali gift guide sorts the studio by person, and Diwali gifts under ₹1,000 lists every piece in this band by exact price, imitation jewellery included. For a team or client list, corporate Diwali gifting covers how to spread one design across colours.
How to look after it
Plated imitation jewellery lasts as long as the plating does, and the plating lasts as long as it is kept away from the things that wear it down. Four habits make the difference.
- Store each piece in the pouch it arrives in, away from moisture. A humid bathroom shelf is the worst place for it.
- Put it on after perfume and lotion, and take it off before swimming or bathing.
- Wipe it with a soft dry cloth after wearing, which removes the skin oils that dull the finish.
- Never use chemical cleaners. They are made for solid metal and can damage a plated finish.
If you are giving a piece as a gift, pass these four lines on with it. It tells the person the piece is worth looking after, which is part of the gift.
Common questions
Is this real gold?
No. It is imitation jewellery: gold-toned plating over a metal base with an anti-tarnish finish. It carries no karat value, and it is priced accordingly.
What does anti-tarnish mean?
It is a finish over the plating that slows the discolouration ordinary plated pieces shows over time. It slows it rather than stopping it for ever, which is why the care habits above still matter.
Can I wear it every day?
Yes. It is made to be worn often. Put it on after perfume and lotion, and take it off before you bathe or swim.
Can I shower or swim in it?
Take it off first. Water, soap and chlorine all wear a plated finish faster.
What is a good imitation jewellery gift under ₹1,000?
For almost anyone, the ribbon bow studs at ₹599 or the evil eye flower pendant at ₹799. For someone with a bold streak, any of the beaded statement earrings at ₹599.
Which ring should I give if I do not know the size?
The adjustable oval wrap ring at ₹599.
Are the beaded earrings handmade?
Yes, each pair is beaded by hand, so the beads sit slightly differently from one pair to the next.
How should I store it?
In the pouch it arrives in, away from moisture, with each piece kept separate so chains do not tangle and surfaces do not scratch.
Is shipping free?
Yes, on every order, with no minimum.
