MY PENDANT IS ME!

That piece of jewellery hanging around your neck can actually be a mirror to your personality. AINDRILA MITRA talks to six famous faces revealing their innate penchant for pendants that depict them exclusively and accurately.

“I’m not really a jewellery person. But I like jewellery with character. An ideal pendant for me is one that is not too flashy. It should be a locket in platinum, oval in shape, embellished from outside and worn with the same-metal chain. The locket could either carry a photograph or an inscription. So an elegant piece of artwork is what would depict me perfectly.”

“I’m more a ring and earring girl. However, I have a fascination for pendants that are funky, sexy, bold and yet very feminine. I love the pendant that I wore for my music video, which has ‘S’ cutout in silver. I guess it is an international trend to have your italics in the pendant. Alternatively, the Chopard ‘Happy Diamond’ pendant is really beautiful. I completely avoid yellow gold and rather prefer platinum or white gold.”
Sophia choudhry veejay, singer



“A pendant that would really be like ‘me’ would be the solitaire of two carats I wear with a platinum chain around my neck. It is very elegant and sleek and can be worn throughout the day and could also extend to eveningwear. The pendant depicts me as a person in terms of it being smart looking and yet not too flashy. It also has special significance in my life since I won it at a show a couple of years ago. It is my favourite piece of jewellery.”
Shaina N C Fashion designer


“The pendant that makes my day is the one that I have been wearing for the past 10 years now. It is a Balaji pendant in diamond and gold. I got it from a friend at a very special time and the pendant holds immense significance for me. It gives me spiritual strength and exudes positive energy. The pendant somehow makes me feel comfortable and confident.”

“Without sounding clichéd, I am a complete diamond girl. The ideal pendant for me would be the Asmi diamond in the form of a solitaire. I like designs that are strong, yet not flashy. Subtlety is the key. Moreover, the sparkle of that solid rock can never be missed!”

“My pendant would be an art-déco piece. It definitely needs to be adorned with diamonds. And if I were wearing pastels, to add a bit of colour I would either go with emeralds or rubies. I like long chains running right up to mid-waist and the metal used would definitely be platinum.”
