The festive season is here. While red and green are the traditional colours of Christmas, this year calls for something deeper. It calls for the mystery of Abalone, the snowy elegance of Pearls, the glow of Emeralds, and the nostalgia of Vintage Silver, having the shades of red and green to make your Xmas outfits dashing and elegant.
At Totapari, we believe holiday jewellery should be a story you wear – not just decoration. Each piece is handcrafted in small batches, inspired by nature, art, culture & tradition. Whether you are dressing for a cozy family lunch, midnight mass, or a glamorous evening party, here is how to style our key Christmas collections and how to choose the perfect Totapari gift.
1. Red: The Warmth of Rubies
Red is the heartbeat of Christmas. Instead of loud, flashy baubles, we love the regal depth of Rubies paired with the softness of freshwater Pearls. Together, they carry warmth, celebration and a quiet, confident power.
Our ruby bead necklaces, strung with delicate pearls, offer a sophisticated take on the festive palette. The contrast between the deep red stones and milky white pearls mimics holly berries on snow – perfect for adding colour to a neutral winter outfit or an elegant Indian festive look.
Styling Tip: Winter Warmth
Style our Ruby & Pearl strands – like the Lab Grown Ruby Freshwater Pearls Necklace or the Royal Ruby Pearl Kundan Necklace Set – with a black high-neck cashmere sweater, a crisp white shirt, or a deep wine sari. Keep the rest of your jewellery minimal – let the gemstones be the only pop of colour in a monochrome outfit.
2. Green: From Deep Emeralds to Shimmering Abalone
Green represents pine forests, wreaths and the quiet renewal of nature. This season, we explore green through two distinct textures: the classic luxury of Emeralds and the iridescent magic of Abalone.
For those who want a break from tradition, our Abalone Collection is the answer. The natural shell captures swirling greens, blues and silvers, reflecting Christmas lights like a miniature galaxy. It is the perfect choice for someone who loves art, texture and a slightly unconventional festive look.
If you prefer timeless elegance, our Emerald beaded chokers bring that rich, forest-green hue that defines the season. They sit beautifully at the collarbone and pair well with saris, dresses and structured blazers.
Styling Tip: Evergreen Elegance
Wear an Emerald choker like the Regal Emerald Green Ruby And Pearl Necklace Set with a deep green silk blouse or an off-shoulder black dress. For Abalone pieces such as the Abalone Silver Artistic Men Pendant or the Red MOP And Silver Pendant, choose simple necklines and let the pendant sit against solid-coloured fabrics – charcoal, cream, navy or bottle green.
3. The Glow: Winter Whites & Marcasite Sparkle
Nothing says “White Christmas” quite like the lustre of Pearls and the dark, mysterious sparkle of Marcasite Silver. This combination evokes the glamour of a bygone era – think snowy nights, vintage film stills, and star-gazing under fairy lights.
Our Vintage Marcasite Collection features intricate filigree work that catches the light like diamonds, but with a softer, smokier glow. Paired with our lustrous multi-strand pearls, the look is pure understated luxury – perfect for Christmas Eve dinners, winter weddings or intimate celebrations.
Styling Tip: The “Snow Queen” Look
Layer our multi-strand pearl necklaces – such as the Song of the Sea Woven Pearl Necklace and Earrings Set or the Classic AAA Round Pearl Necklace(13-14mm) – over silver, icy blue or cool-toned velvet outfits. Add a Marcasite focal piece like the Marcasite Spiral Pendant and keep your makeup soft – think kohl-lined eyes and a muted berry lip.
4. The Earthy Holiday: Raw & Uncut
Not all Christmas style needs to be polished and traditional. For the bohemian soul, our Raw Uncut Stone collection brings the beauty of the earth directly into your festive wardrobe. Strung on rustic leather cords, these chunks of natural gemstones celebrate texture, asymmetry and individuality.
These pieces are excellent conversation starters at holiday gatherings, proving that true luxury lies in unique, unrefined beauty. They are perfect for travellers, artists and anyone who loves an earthy, grounded Christmas style.
Styling Tip: Fireside Boho
Pair our Raw Stone pieces – like the Unique Multilayer Freshwater Pearl Agates And Leather Necklace – with linen shirts, oversized cardigans, relaxed dresses or khadi kurtas. Stack them with simple silver bangles and rings for a layered, lived-in look that still feels festive.
