SPARKLE & SHINE

WHEN PARTIES ARE on and weddings abound, can bling be far behind? But apart from watches, rings and cufflinks, most men stay away from all kinds of jewellery when dressing up for such occasions. The Indian brand Latique (at The Oberoi, Gurgaon) seems to be changing all that as it experiments with a wide range of options for men. Its collections feature clean, straight lines, geometric styles and offbeat tribal designs, making them extremely popular. By pairing stones with metals and using coloured gems for effect, Latique has created original and exciting pieces, and the diverse range enables men to mix and match.
