MUMBAI: India is renowned as the land of festivals. People from different religions coexist harmoniously and the country celebrates the festivities of every religion across Hindu, Christian, Muslim, Buddhist and more.
Muslims all over the country are currently observing Ramadan and will celebrate the end of the holy fast on 15 June (depending upon when the moon shines in the sky). People will dress to their nines and savour on delicacies, the special one being sheer korma. We all are aware that the charm of ethnic wear comes out best when paired with the right jewellery.
Dipika Kakar, who got married to Shoaib Ibrahim, will celebrate her first Eid this year and her look in the recent picture that she has shared with her mother-in-law on social media defines the perfect way to choose the perfect jewellery on an ethnic outfit. Wearing a gold maang tikka and an elegant neckpiece on an embroidered cream and gold dress, she looks stylish and neat.
Take a look at her picture below:
Garima Singh, Co-founder and CEO at blingvine.com, and jewellery designer Pooja Juneja, have listed the different kinds of ethnic jewellery that you should invest in and how to wear them:
Choker necklaces have always been a significant necklace style for ethnic Indian jewellery. You can team them up with strapless necklines, deep neck blouses with lehengas.
Pearl necklaces look spectacular when harmonised with traditional Indian wear. Lustrous sea pearls when stringed with uncut diamonds, kundan work, gold and emeralds, look classy. They can be paired with saris either to look dressed up or dressed down.
Beautiful headpieces known as maang tikka are one of the most attractive characteristics of the Indian traditional look. They can be paired with saris, lehangas for a stunning look. Wear a simple one if your attire is grand but a heavy, flashy one if your attire is simple.
The different maang tikkas available include small pendant, paasa, matha patti or borla.
If you are not a watch person, then bangles, kadas and bracelets are your things to flaunt around wrist. You can go classy and elegant by choosing gold or glass bangles, royal by adorning kadas or cuffs or pick up a chunky fashion bracelet bejewelled with semi-precious stones.
Don't forget to buy a haath phool, which could be a modern, simple piece or an elaborate one. If you are wearing bangles then skip the ornament as this is more of a statement piece.
Jhumkas take you back to the roots as they are a part of the temple jewellery. Another most essential part of any Indian wear is earrings. There are a lot of varieties of earrings and jhumkas, which can also be teamed with western wear. A simple T-shirt and jeans can look different when paired with a small jhumka.
