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
