Kushal’s, India’s leading fashion and silver jewellery brand, unveils its latest edit: the Everyday Collection. Designed for the modern Indian woman, this thoughtfully curated range features versatile fashion jewellery that elevates your day-to-day look — whether you’re heading to work, a brunch date, dance class, or a quick shopping spree.

The modern woman is redefining how she dresses—embracing jewellery as an essential part of her everyday wardrobe. Whether it’s dressing up a kurta for the office, adding charm to co-ords for a mall run, or slipping on hoops with power dressing—who says everyday can’t sparkle?

That’s where Kushal’s Everyday Collection comes in. Featuring over 10,000 curated designs, it offers chic, affordable, and functional pieces that are effortlessly high on style.

Below are the trends shaping how women can style jewellery across different moods and moments:

1. Ethnic Elegance Everyday

Antique-finish jhumkas, delicate kadas, and antique malas add a graceful touch to kurtas, Indo-fusion sets, sarees or co-ords. Emeralds (coloured stones), layered beaded chains, trendy mangalsutras, and minimal designs offer just the right amount of vibrance — jewellery that blends tradition with a modern twist. Pair it with a swipe of kajal and a soft glow — perfect for both home and work.

2. Minimal glam everyday

Sleek. trendy huggies (hoops), metallic button studs, and long chains pair beautifully with denim, blazers, or casual dresses. These bold-yet-minimalist pieces are ideal for movie nights, cafe catch-ups, or even client meetings.

3. 92.5 Silver Everyday

Understated yet striking, sterling silver essentials — from stacked bracelets to zircon-studded studs — offer a confident, minimal vibe. Each piece is crafted in 92.5 pure silver and BIS-hallmarked for authenticity. Perfect for women who prefer subtle statements that move seamlessly from workout sessions to workdays.

Commenting on the launch, Ankit Gulechha, Director – Marketing at Kushal’s Fashion Jewellery, said, “Our latest Everyday collection reflects how modern Indian women are embracing jewellery as an essential part of their everyday style — not just for special occasions. Whether you’re heading to the office, a dance class, or brunch with friends, this collection has something to make you feel confident, stylish, and put together. It’s practical fashion jewellery with elevated charm — for every moment, every day.”

The Everyday Collection is a celebration of personal style — rooted in utility but powered by expression. Whether you prefer antique jhumkas with your kurta or hoops with heels and a power suit, Kushal’s makes it easy to feel put-together every day — without the pressure of repeating or overthinking your look.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is slated to visit Namibia on July 9, part of a five-nation tour that also includes Ghana, Argentina, Brazil, and Trinidad and Tobago. The trip marks Modi’s first official visit to the Southern African nation and underscores New Delhi’s ambition to deepen economic ties in the diamond sector.

While Indian firms such as Ankit Gems and KGK already run cutting and polishing units in Namibia’s capital, Windhoek, rough stones currently reach India indirectly via other global trading hubs. Modi’s visit is expected to pave the way for more direct diamond shipments, streamlining trade flows between the two countries.

Namibia ranks as the world’s fifth-largest diamond producer by value and volume, according to Kimberley Process data, and is especially known for its rich marine diamond reserves, estimated at over 80 million carats.

The agenda extends beyond gemstones. Modi is also set to discuss cooperation on critical minerals and uranium—resources vital to India’s clean energy ambitions and energy security. During the visit, he is scheduled to address the Namibian Parliament, signaling the strategic importance New Delhi places on closer engagement with Africa’s resource-rich economies.
