Celebrate Navratri with Traditional and Trendy Navratri Jewellery

Sparkle and shine this Navratri with Traditional and Trendy Navratri Jewellery – Embrace the Festive Spirit!

Introduction:

Navratri, a vibrant and auspicious Indian festival, is a time of joy, devotion, and cultural celebration. It's a festival that brings people together to honour the divine feminine energy and embark on a journey of dance, music, and spirituality. As you immerse yourself in the festive fervour, adorning yourself with the right jewellery becomes an integral part of the celebration. This Navratri, embrace the essence of tradition and modernity by choosing a blend of both traditional and trendy jewellery pieces that resonate with the festive spirit.

The Significance of Navratri:

Navratri, which translates to "nine nights," is dedicated to Goddess Durga and her nine forms, each symbolizing a distinct facet of femininity, strength, and power. The festival is celebrated with fervent devotion and a series of dance performances, including the famous Garba and Dandiya Raas, where people come together in colourful attire to dance, sing, and celebrate.

Traditional Jewellery: Connecting with Heritage:

Traditional jewellery holds a special place in Navratri celebrations, as it connects us to our rich cultural heritage. Pieces like chokers, temple necklaces, jhumkas (traditional earrings), and maang tikkas (forehead ornaments) adorned with intricate designs and embellishments, pay homage to the grandeur of Indian craftsmanship and traditions. The warmth of gold, the radiance of precious stones, and the charm of intricate detailing in traditional jewellery capture the essence of the festival's sanctity and grandeur.

Trendy Navratri Jewellery: Fusion of Fashion and Tradition:

While traditional jewellery is a hallmark of Navratri, blending in a touch of modernity can elevate your festive look to the next level. Contemporary jewellery designs fuse traditional motifs with modern aesthetics, resulting in pieces that seamlessly integrate into the celebration's spirit. Statement rings, layered necklaces, and sleek bangles with a modern twist can add an element of chic to your ensemble without compromising the cultural integrity of the festival.

Colours and Gemstones: Enhancing the Festive Vibes:

Navratri is synonymous with a riot of colours, each day representing a different hue and goddess form. Incorporating gemstones that correspond to these colours not only adds beauty but also enhances the positive energies associated with each day. For instance, red coral for the fiery Goddess Durga, moonstone for the soothing Goddess Chandra ghanta, and emerald for the lush beauty of Goddess Skanda Mata.

Mix and Match: The Joy of Versatility:

The beauty of jewellery lies in its ability to transform an outfit with just the right piece. During Navratri, mix and match traditional and trendy jewellery to create a look that is uniquely yours. Pairing a classic temple necklace with contemporary hoop earrings or adorning a traditional maang tikka with a modern layered necklace can result in an ensemble that celebrates both the past and the present.

Jewellery for Every Occasion:

Navratri consists of nine nights, each with its own significance and rituals. From vibrant evenings of Garba to the tranquil and devotional aspects of worship, having a diverse collection of jewellery is essential. Delicate studs for daytime rituals, ornate necklaces for dance nights, and elegant bracelets for prayers, ensure you have the perfect jewellery for every occasion.

Expressing Your Individuality by Navratri Jewellery:

Navratri is not just a celebration; it's an expression of who you are. Your choice of jewellery can reflect your personality, preferences, and values. Whether you're drawn to the timeless elegance of traditional pieces or the contemporary flair of trendy designs, your jewellery becomes a reflection of your unique identity.

Conclusion:

Navratri is a time to celebrate the fusion of tradition and modernity, just as it celebrates the harmony of the divine feminine energy. By adorning yourself with a mix of traditional and trendy Navaratri jewellery, you're embracing the essence of this festival's versatility and vibrancy. Let your jewellery tell a story of cultural heritage and contemporary expression, as you dance, rejoice, and honour the goddess within you during these nine auspicious nights.

not a question but i'm losing my mind a little bit over airbender gojo.......in lok we learn that airbenders can unlock the ability to fly by severing all earthly tethers.....and what happened to gojo's tether? his one and only???? can he fly because he killed suguru? i'm not okay

that would be a good theory!!! if gojo was an airbender :3

The ATLA renaissance shifting the fandom from Zutara towards Zukka without actually changing the ship dynamic is so fucking funny because most of the time it functions pretty well. However today I saw another 'oh Sokka had this forbidden crush on Zuko from the beginning' and. Look. What happened there? Seriously, did we watch the same show? Fucking nobody likes Zuko from the get-go! He's an acquired taste at best. Jet notably falls for Zuko at first sight under explicitly false pretenses. Sokka has both a brain and a decent understanding of Zuko's early role in the Fire Nation. He would not say that.

Etsy shop - Satanic rosaries!

One of my best friends has recently become a member of The Satanic Temple. I'm sure that most reading this will be aware but to make matters clear to those who aren't, The Satanic Temple do not believe that the "Devil" is real, but they celebrate the character of Satan as an archetypal rebel. They also undertake a great deal of humanitarian work and are pro LGBT, pro abortion rights, and so on.

My friend has begun a small Etsy business making Satanic rosaries. She has changed the number of beads from those traditionally used in rosaries to 42 - 6 sets of 6, with 6 more single separator beads.

She's made a few of these in tribute to the band Ghost, who she loves.

Her shop doesn't have much stock at the moment but she is in the process of making more, and she's more than happy to discuss custom orders with different beads, bead caps, metals, medallion images and pendants. I've seen her supplies, she has a vast array of choices!

I'm sure she'd be willing to make Crowley or Chattering Order of St Beryl themed ones for you Good Omens fans out there.

You don't have to be a Satanist to buy these, you just need an appreciation of beautiful and unusual jewellery 😉

i'm actually very fond of the idea of ramuda having a soft spot for kuko after the events of the when six colors drama track. Like not only did kuko accept his apology after he broke him and ichiro up, saying his genuine apology has value, but also upon seeing how honobono treated the ramuda clones after they 'broke', he was the /only/ one to react to that and call her disgusting, must've mean a lot to ramuda! And if we treat ARB recent events as semi-canon(?) Kuko seems to have genuinely forgave ramuda and easily gets along with him which i think is sweet! :') it did get me thinking if ramuda would still try to make it up to him in some way by trying to gift him clothes or treat him to food but kuko sees right through that and tells him to stop it since what's done is done and that only makes ramuda feel guiltier lol

sorry i just really wanna see more ramudakuko interactions in the future!!

kuukou forgiving ramuda instantly had to have been very healing for him 🥺🥺🥺 like i still think it's very cute how gentaro and dice were on sasara and kuukou's teams for the mixed up track, and those were the two who forgave ramuda without fuss 😭😭😭😭

kuukou and ramuda have a lot of little things that idk are meant to narratively connect them since they’ve only had like 1.5 canon interactions and a handful of arb interactions lol

like ramuda inherited empty candy, kuukou’s set to inherit kuugen temple, and one of the kanji in kuugen reads as ‘empty’. ramuda has always wanted a real posse and kuukou stresses real friends who you can call family. ramuda fears ghosts and kuukou can communicate with them, ramuda struggles with having a true self, kuukou is always working on becoming his ideal self THERES A LOT LOL it'd be great if they could be a leader duo too 😭😭😭

A Necklace of four strands of beads and amulets - Met Museum Collection

Inventory Number: 22.3.324 Middle Kingdom, Dynasty 11, ca. 2051–2030 B.C. Location Information: From Egypt, Upper Egypt, Thebes, Deir el-Bahri, Tomb of Myt, Temple of Mentuhotep II, Pit 18, mummy of Myt, MMA excavations, 1921

Description:

This brightly colored set of necklaces belonging to a young girl are remarkable not only for their technically brilliant manufacture, the drilled stone beads being quite tiny.

Mayet was only five when she was buried among the older female members of the King Mentuhotep II’s court in his funerary complex at Deir el Bahri. Although her burial was simple, her necklaces, including two others of gold and carnelian ball beads, are some of the finest jewelry that survives from this period and the signs of wear on the beads indicate Mayet, or perhaps another woman, wore them during their lifetime.

had a dream last night abt a guy wearing a chunky silver chain with a paw pendant on it and i fear it's going to haunt me all day

2022 retrospection to come later, tonight we complain about tonight. - I’m in one of those situations where I’m mildly annoyed that no one invited me for any sort of New Year’s event, which is almost certainly because they either know I had surgery, or know I hate crowds, or both, so I would have turned down any invitations anyways (and thus certainly didn’t take the initiative myself to invite anyone else to hang out) but that’s not the point, is it now. Maybe part of it is that I’m also being forced to reflect on the fact that my previous New Years in Taipei were both spent with my ex when we were friends, ugh. I am going to remedy all of this by taking my cranky ass for a walk soon, possibly involving a treat from 7-11, followed by coming home and getting very snuggly in bed and going to sleep at a reasonable hour.

- I also can’t be too upset today because I finally hassled my Australian bank into refunding a fraudulent transaction from April that I only noticed this month because I rarely use or check the account (yeah, technically my fault), but listen to this- I also contacted the vendor to bolster my evidence after the bank investigation initially ruled that I’d been aware of the transaction and I needed to escalate the dispute, and the vendor said they’d been contacted by the card issuer and forced to reimburse the funds back in April! It was also a purchase made in-person in the US, while I have been firmly situated in Taiwan and in possession of the card in question this whole time. The case manager for my dispute mentioned nothing of this aspect, and only reiterated that the bank was still ruling this my fault and giving a one-time refund. Something seems fishy here.

- I spent today doing all the homework I’ve been ignoring for the past two weeks. Oh, my brain. I’m worried going back to class is gonna put me back on the fast train to headache-land too. I’m only doing this for the residency permit at this point. Theoretically if I took one more semester (which I’d have to find a new school for, because mine is ending my level after this) I could finally get that student work permit I thought I could get at 6 months in, and health insurance too. However, I generally do not even have the energy to go back outside after getting home from class, much less work a part-time job. It would be much more effective to just get a proper job, which would also give me residency and health insurance (and a start on accumulating points for permanent residency application). I know I can do this, I just have to first convince myself I want to do it, which is a whole other can of worms. 

- On a positive note, my recovery is going incredibly well, so well in fact that I have to suspect my appeal at the angry ghost temple actually had something to do with it, and thus I should make haste and fulfill my end of the bargain, which partly involves sacrificing my long and luxurious rattail braid, chockers with many years of accumulated spiritual power I was saving for precisely this kind of thing, cause that’s clearly irresistible to spirits, right. (I really am attached to it, pun not intended- it has to be a meaningful sacrifice after all.) Perhaps a bit of ritual would be a fitting way to round off a year already quite full of casting off old fears, and other unexpected things.

Andor S1E7: Announcement

[tragedykery]

you wanna ramble about some of your visions of the little guys? because i would Love to hear <333 (also feel free to ignore this if you don't want to, haha!!!)

thank you so so much for sending this ask ily <333 and I am. so so so sorry this started out as just a short stating of facts but then it began to lead a life of its own (uh cw for animal death)

ok for background info I’ve got this post here with a character list doc etc but it’s not really necessary to understand this

anyway I’ll be talking about sita (tag) bc I love her <3

in the kyoshi novels it’s said that all air nomads are benders but I think that’s stupid. there definitely are air nomad non-benders but they’re uncommon and generally don’t live in the temples.

sita is one of those non-benders. as she grows up in the eastern air temple, she practices the katas and fighting style just as hard as the other kids—maybe even harder—but no matter how hard she tries, she cannot get the air to move as it does for her peers. she feels like an outsider. there’s one other non-bender girl there, but she’s a few years older. they play together a lot, and it helps, but when the girl leaves to travel the world, sita is left behind, and she feels more alone than she ever has before.

she knows it’s not the fault of the her friend or other nuns, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt. so one day, when she just can’t take it anymore, she stuffs her bag with food and all the airbending scrolls she can find (she cannot kill the hope inside her that maybe if she practices hard enough…). she gets her bison and flies away.

(she’s sixteen.)

she tries to find her old friend, but she could be anywhere. so she explores the world, and she’s happier than she’s been in a long time.

however, one day, her bison gets sick. she’s camping somewhere on an island in the fire nation, but no one there knows how to help her. she sets out toward the eastern air temple, but as they’re flying over the sea, they get caught in a storm. she worries they’re not going to survive, but by some stroke of luck, they get rescued by a bunch of seafarers on a ship called the ziyou. they’re friendly, and the captain promises to take care of them for as long as they need, but sita was right about one thing. her bison doesn’t survive.

taituk, the captain, promises they’ll drop her off at the nearest port, but.

she has no reason to go to the air temples now. it would only stir up painful memories. and her chances of finding her old friend, alone in the earth kingdom, on foot, are practically zero. she thinks about it.

she knows the crew she had initially thought to be regular seafarers are pirates. but they’re not like what she has heard about pirates. when she experiences a raid (she isn’t expected to participate and can just hide in the room she’s been staying in) she listens anxiously. she can hear taituk give the crew a sort of pep talk, and hears them tell the crew, with the practised ease of someone who has given a speech a thousand times before, to not hurt anyone unless absolutely necessary. “surrender and no harm will come to you,” she hears taituk call out to people on the other ship. and when the merchant ship’s captain surrenders, they follow through on their word.

she gets to know the crew. she learns about their motives, how they’re all outcasts, how they only attack the ships of rich merchants or other pirates, how most of them turned to piracy because there was no other option, to feed themselves and in some cases their families too.

maybe, sita thinks, she can figure out how to make this work.

—

sita’s been on the ziyou for almost two years. she’s gotten good at incorporating the fighting skills she’s learned on the ship into the air nomad fighting style she has such extensive knowledge of. she learns she has a talent for using projectile weapons—though nisha remains the best with throwing knives, she’s easily the second best, and her handiness with a bow and arrows more than makes up for it. she’s decent with a spear too, though she’s more defensive with it than the girl who teaches her, aki, would like.

(the cook, chusak, offers to teach her his weird fighting style of throwing pans at people, but she turns him down. that’s just weird and impractical and more often than not leaves people with bruises, concussions, or broken bones. well, she doesn’t need to learn to use every possible projectile weapon.)

she might not be able to bend air like she had always wished (and still wishes) she could, but as she pins an enemy to the mast with nothing more than a flick of her wrist or the release of a taut bowstring, or feels the salty wind ruffle her hair as she stands in the crow’s nest, she finds she doesn’t mind her lack of bending as much as she used to. she’s made peace with it.

she’s still shocked, though, when one day during a raid (the captain refused to surrender, proud as the beifongs he works for), she looks over her shoulder and sees a woman floating several feet above the deck. her eyes are closed and her long hair whips in the wind, and while she’s wearing earth kingdom clothing and doesn’t have any tattoos, there’s no way she’s not an airbender.

“what’s an airbender doing on a ship like that?” she muses to taituk as they’re hauling boxes of loot onto their own ship. “she must be powerful. to lift yourself into the air and create a storm like that takes a lot of strength.” (no one knows, of course, that was the avatar state, and they don’t realise it for a long time.)

“well, whatever the case, we’re lucky chusak knocked her out,” nisha grumbles. she turns to show the two of them a nasty-looking gash on her shoulder. “she almost got me with one of her own knives.”

taituk pulls a face. “ouch. well, better go see mallik, then.” nisha rolls her eyes and grumbles something sarcastic before walking off, but before sita can tease taituk about being “romantic” (she doesn’t have proof yet, but she knows!), taituk says, frowning, “iraluq said they seemed scared, though. the airbender I mean. scared and confused, as they threw up their arms and knocked her ice daggers away. as if they didn’t know what they had what they done or how.”

sita’s still pondering that over a few hours later, when she hears shouting on the other side of the ship. she rushes there to investigate. she makes her way through the crowd that has gathered on the deck. “what’s happen–”

she falls silent as she sees the airbender standing pressed against the wall, terrified.

“everyone give us some space!” taituk calls. “go on with what you were previously doing. nothing to see here.”

“what happened?” sita whispers to nuvuja, who’s, for some reason, is opening all the crates they had gotten from the raid and checking their contents.

nuvuja’s reply is brisk. “xuan managed to accidentally kidnap a person.”

“how?!”

nuvuja slams the crate she’d been rummaging through shut and opens the next one. “he was supposed to help check the loot but got lazy. just carried crates onto the ship without checking if their contents were the same as the labels. and apparently the airbender fell into a crate of rice when she got knocked out by chusak. lid slammed shut. we just found out while getting stuff for dinner.”

she grimaces as she looks over at the airbender. taituk is speaking to her softly, and while she looks less scared than before, her eyes are full of tears. “poor girl,” nuvuja murmurs. “we’ve got no clue where her ship is now. stranded on a ship in the middle of the sea with a bunch of pirates. she must be terrified.”

sita thanks nuvuja, and walks off to join taituk. maybe she can help.

—

apparently the airbender—hira—does not, in fact, know she is one. or she didn’t, until now. she and sita become fast friends. sita’s a friendly presence, a reassuring constant in the scary period waiting hira’s caught in until they reach land.

“I guess I should go to one of the temples, huh?” hira says a few days after her arrival on the ship. she tries for humour, but sounds breathless. scared. “if I want to learn”—she hesitates for a moment—“bending.”

she’d been both scared and elated to learn she was a bender. apparently she’s grown up as an orphan with no knowledge of her heritage.

“I can try to teach you some stuff, if you want,” sita offers.

hira’s eyes widen. “you’re an airbender too?!”

sita tries to keep the bitterness out of her voice. “no.” she tries for a smile. “but I grew up in the temples, so I know a few things.”

(she knows more than a few things.)

—

it’s weird, teaching someone to bend when sita can’t herself, but they make it work. hira’s a prodigy, easily executing techniques sita remembers took the other girls at the temple months to master. (techniques sita will never be able to do.) sita can help her, teach her, in a way hira will never be able to do for her. you can’t give someone bending, after all.

they meditate together, and cook air nomad recipes with chusak’s help. she teaches hira to read, write and speak the most common air nomad languages, and hira teaches her her earth kingdom town’s language in return.

it would be so easy to be jealous of hira. and maybe she is jealous, just a little. but she doesn’t let that jealousy fester, doesn’t let it turn into resentment. she won’t ever be able to bend, but she can be proud of hira, can be happy for her. can laugh with her as they mess up the recipe for fruit pies and smile at her when she masters yet another kata. she can participate in her culture with another air nomad, one who she knows won’t judge her for being a non-bender. (she spent the first twenty-seven years of her life as one, after all.)

and it will be enough.

(she doesn’t know that hira is jealous of her in the same way, for growing up in the temples. (hira’s spent her whole life wanting nothing more than connection with her culture.) but much in the same way, hira doesn’t allow her jealousy to lead her. she and sita are both air nomads who will always be a little bit of an outsider, and they’ll have to stick together. it’s not just that, though. she likes being around this chatty, lively kid (“I’m eighteen!” sita always protests). she likes to gossip with her and sit in the crow’s nest together and play silly games and have competitions who have climb the masts the fastest. sita is one of the main reasons hira decides to stay when the ziyou reaches the port taituk had promised they’d drop her off at.)

(the rest of the crew notices, that since hira’s arrival, sita seems happier than she’s ever been.)
