Celebrate Diwali in Style with our Favorite Brands

Welcome back to The Velvet Runway and this feature about How to Celebrate Diwali in Style with two of our Favorite Brands.

Diwali, also known as Divali or Deepawali, is a major festival celebrated by people of different faiths including many Hindus, Jains, Sikhs, Muslims and some Buddhists. It is often referred to as “the festival of lights”, because of the practice of lighting oil lamps (known as “diyas“) and decorating homes with strings of twinkling lights in honor of Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and good fortune. The lamps symbolise the triumph of light over darkness and evil.

Diwali 2022 is right around the corner (on Monday October 24th), so what better way to celebrate than with some fun & flirty jewelry and chic & sophisticated South Asian-inspired attire.

Blossom Box Jewelry

Launched in September 2011, Blossom Box Jewelry is the brainchild of creatively charged entrepreneur Rekha Brar, who pursued her lifelong passion for jewelry by taking a detour and following her instincts. As a child, Rekha remembers her trips to India in vivid color, where walking through the markets, she was inspired by the rows and rows of sparkling jewels. Inspired by the jewels of the Mughal era, the line aims to capture a time of opulence and vibrancy, when colors and textures danced together. 

Every Blossom Box piece is designed in the USA & handcrafted by the finest artisans in India. Made from the highest quality of materials, they ensure that each and every piece is made to perfection. Designed for women who love to adorn themselves on special occasions or for those who wish to wear a simple statement piece, Blossom Box is for any woman who loves to stand out from the crowd and express her individuality.

At the heart of Blossom Box is their desire to support women and encourage them to pursue their passion. They want to remind people that while there will be obstacles along the way, they should never give up on their dreams, and they are empowering women by giving them permission to dance outside the lines.

Blossom Box is more than a jewellery line; it’s a statement of the kind of woman you want to be. It’s knowing who you are and what you want, and also recognizing your own ability to support others who are following their own dreams.

Be Bold. Be Daring. Be Different.
