Rakshabadhan – An Eternal Bond
Kalyan Blog
There is no love like the love of a brother, and there is no love like the love from a sister. The bond between siblings is like no other- it’s of the forever kind. And what better way to celebrate it than with gifts that last a lifetime?
Rakshabandhan – the Bond of Protection, is a popular festival and ceremony observed in India. Brothers and sisters all over celebrate their love for each other by tying the rakhi, offering blessings and protection, and sharing gifts. While the world celebrates love and parental bonds, this beautiful ritual of honouring sibling love is exclusive to our subcontinent.
So let’s get ready to shower our siblings with love and exchange tokens of love that are memorable and lasting. The day is fast approaching, and if you are still confused about what to gift your sister, here’s our guide to help you along the way.
As she ties the rakhi around your wrist, a gift of gold is warranted, wouldn’t you agree? Tokens of love of this kind can suit any budget and style. So the first thing is to evaluate your budget. Once that is sorted, find out what type of style she adorns. Does she like delicate and dainty jewellery pieces, or does she go bold and big in her choices?
For the delicate styles, you have innumerable choices to choose from depending on your budget. We can start off with a precious ring in white or rose gold. It could be plain or set with a brilliant gemstone. If diamonds are her best friend, swap the gemstone with a sparkling diamond that reflects the spark in her eyes. A pair of delicate danglers in the latest styles is also sure to make her smile from ear to ear. If she likes long and dangling, the front-back earrings are in fashion right now. Or choose the classic hoops that are versatile for every ensemble.
Go the extra mile, and gift her a set of earrings and pendant necklaces. This one is a keeper for the mature sibling as she can pair it with her office and casual wear. Another choice for the tradition-loving sisters is a pair of golden anklets with tiny bells that jingle with her every move.
Now for the bold choices! Going bold doesn’t mean it has to go over your budget. A simple statement ring in antique gold can pack a punch while being light on the wallet. Or how about a pair of Jhumkas gifted from her brother dearest makes her day as she flaunts it on Rakshabandhan day?
Other than the obvious choices of rings, pendants and earrings, there’s also a choice of gifting her a bangle – solo or a pair. If it’s a dainty one, we suggest going solo, but bold kangans can be given as a pair, one for each hand.
Now that you have an idea of how to shower your love and gratitude for your sweet sibling get to the gifting and witness that lovable sparkle of a smile on your dear sister’s face.
Happy Rakshabandhan!
