These timeless beauties are not new in town. They have been a woman’s best friend for a long time. A pair of jhumkas are enough to jazz up any outfit. Over the years these pretty pieces of jewellery have become favourites among Bollywood divas. Be it divas from the yesteryears like Rekha and Jaya Bachchan or the younger generation like Sonam Kapoor, they all have adopted this style. These can be teamed with almost anything like anarkali suits, saris, lehangas or even silk pants or traditional tops. A good pair of jhumka is a classic piece of jewellery and will be in fashion forever. Jhumkas are huge, striking and exotic, and hence are perfect for brides. The trick is to wear a big piece of statement jewellery. So if you are wearing jhumkas, make sure you keep your make up minimal.
Well everyone wears these with traditional attires. We tell you how to wear the jhumka a tad differently:
Go Bohemian: This summer try some new styles. You can wear big gold jhumkas with a pair of silk cigarette pants teamed with an embroidered corset for a wedding or cocktail party.
Be different: Instead of wearing the jhumka the traditional way that is as an earring, you can make a maang tikka out of it.
Meenakari: Jhumkas with meenakari look traditional and trendy.
Also they can be worn with any colour outfit.
Wear them with white: If you want to make heads turn, wear big gold jhumkas with a white anarkali. Don’t wear any other piece of jewellery and keep the make up minimal.
Colour me silver: Silver danglers look great with traditional attires. You can either go for the casual trinkets or the hoop jhumkas.
Go western: You can team big earrings with western attires also.
These are bit different from your traditional jhumkas and come in different shapes. Buy one in dull gold and it will go well with almost everything.
