No longer an afterthought or a “girls-only” domain, men are wearing jewellery to accessorise and express. But getting it right is still a struggle for many men. Few people understand this better than celebrity stylist Priya Sharma, who’s styled the likes of Ritwik Bhowmik on multiple occasions, Rohit Saraf for a Tanishq campaign, Tahir Raj Bhasin for the mid-day Glitz & Glam Awards, and actor Prit Kamani, among others.

“Jewellery has evolved from a niche accent into a definitive style statement,” says Sharma. “It’s no longer just a woman’s domain, and thank god for that.” If you’re still limiting jewellery to your watch and that wedding sherwani brooch, Diwali deserves an upgrade. Play and push the line between subtle and statement. Sharma has tips up her sleeve that make sure you aren’t shy to wear a ring here or a necklace there.
