A Guide to Choosing Jewelry with Your Ethnic Outfits
Your ethnic outfit might be the star, but the right jewelry is what completes the look. Whether you’re styling a lehenga, kurta set, or a fusion co-ord, accessories can take your ensemble from basic to breathtaking. At Azura by Raunika, our designs blend modern and traditional elements — and pairing them with the perfect jewelry makes them truly shine.
💍 Why Jewelry Matters in Ethnic Fashion
-
Accentuates your neckline, face, and silhouette
-
Adds character and texture to minimal outfits
-
Helps balance or elevate a heavily embroidered look
-
Reflects your personal style and mood
💡 How to Match Jewelry with Different Ethnic Outfits
1. Lehengas
Recommended Jewelry:
-
Statement earrings or chandbalis
-
Kundan or polki choker
-
Maang tikka for bridal or sangeet looks
Style Tip: If your lehenga has heavy embroidery, go for minimal jewelry. For simpler lehengas, layer your jewelry for drama.
2. Kurta Sets
Recommended Jewelry:
-
Jhumkas or studs
-
Long chains or layered necklaces
-
Bangles or oxidized cuffs
Style Tip: Pick jewelry based on the occasion — silver or tribal jewelry works well for casual functions, while pearls or kundan suits festive gatherings.
3. Anarkalis
Recommended Jewelry:
-
Statement neckpieces
-
Dangler earrings
-
Anklets (payal) for a feminine touch
Style Tip: Anarkalis with a high neckline pair best with heavy earrings instead of necklaces.
4. Co-ord Sets & Pret Wear
Recommended Jewelry:
-
Minimal gold chains
-
Ear cuffs or hoops
-
Cocktail rings
Style Tip: Let the outfit shine — add one bold piece only, especially if you're wearing a structured or cape-style co-ord.
🎯 Jewelry and Fabric – A Smart Match
-
Silk or brocade outfits: Pair with gold or temple jewelry
-
Organza or net lehengas: Match with pearls, mirror-work, or pastels
-
Chikankari or handloom sets: Combine with oxidized silver or beaded styles
-
Ivory/neutral shades: Go with emerald, ruby, or colored gemstone accents
💫 Azura’s Bonus Styling Tips

Mix metals only when intentional — stick to one tone (gold, rose gold, silver)
-
Match your makeup with your jewelry style — bold lips for minimalist jewels, soft glam for heavy pieces
-
Hair up = show off earrings; Hair down = focus on neckpieces
