Chic designs Silver jewellery for all occasions

Not very long ago buying silver jewellery, besides the usual anklets, was next to impossible in Thiruvananthapuram, owing to lack of variety and chic designs. If the designs were wearable, they were so expensive that only a handful of people could afford them. Silver jewellery was confined to chunky pieces that could not be worn everyday.

Aesthetic and affordable

Not any more, thanks to these new places in the city where you can buy enchanting silver jewellery at bargain prices.

New Silver Jewellery, located in Chala bazaar, has a wonderful collection of silver jewellery. Catering to the growing demand for silver jewellery, the store targets tourists, students and others who prefer silver to gold. Jasper, located in Attukal Shopping Complex, is another place for those looking for silver jewellery.

The store has an interesting collection of delicate silver jewellery with cute pendants and earrings, besides the usual bangles, bracelets, earrings, and brooches. It has a collection of imported silver jewellery as well.

The shop at Chala has an interesting collection of silver jewellery, both ethnic and modern.

Ethnic silver jewellery has traditional designs such as mangoes, flowers and so on.

Wide range

The modern range is more experimental in shapes and textures. This comes in varying sizes, from the very chunky to the very delicate. A wide range of silver chains, both oxidised and polished, earrings, studs and danglers, brooches, rings, bracelets, bangles, and anklets are also available here. Each piece is distinct as it is either made exclusively of silver or is a combination of stones and silver.

Delicate sets of earrings and necklaces are also available, which are popular among students.

For men too

There is jewellery for men as well. Chunky chains and bracelets, the kind that Shahrukh Khan and Salman Khan sport, are among the items that have many takers. The choice available for men, be it ear studs or earrings, chunky rings, bracelets or heavy bangles, is wide and varied.

Although some of the items are crafted locally, most of the pieces are sourced from Chennai and Agra.
