Cinema has historically been a repository of time, with no better representative than timeless classics eternalised by the native Bollywood.
Housing some of the best pieces of art of its time, Indian Film Industry has also boasted some of the most iconic looks and avatars.
That grandiose extends not just to the characters, or the cinematography, or the sets but even to the costumes and accessories that the characters adorn. Throughout the many eras of Bollywood some things have aged with poise that make them relevant even in today’s Insta times. Taking a detour from revisiting the same old Bollywood style articles Rockkragaa has picked icons who made distinct choices in personal jewellery styles redefining the jewellery trends of their times.

Sharmila Tagore
A classic Bengali beauty who started her career with effortlessly playing a Kashmiri beauty in Kashmir Ki Kali, Sharmila Tagore went on to become a style icon of the 60’s. With her pure charm and eternal elegance and big hairdos, her medley of jewellery also reflected her timeless charm. From the big Jhumkhas playing on her dimples to classic strings of emeralds and pearls, she carried it all with utmost panache.

Rekha
This Eternal beauty’s journey from a raw young talent of South India to a flamboyant Diva. She was anything but subtle. While she played various avatars on screen from an over the top Umrao Jaan to a classic beauty in Silsila, her personal ostentatious Jewellery choices always remained a talk of the town every time she attended a Filmy party or awards ceremony.

Vidya Balan
This new age Madhubala was a true underdog story who swept the industry with her classic looks and gradually evolved in her distinct style of dressing. She was amongst the few Indian actress in new age Bollywood who wore sarees in a whole new way with statement Silver Jewelry as a big part of her ensembles giving the much needed approval to the voluptuous Indian female body type.
