Jewellery for Navratri and Diwali: What to Wear With What

The festive season is the best time to dress up. Here is a simple way to pick jewellery for Navratri, Garba, Diwali and family functions, without the stress.

Start with the neckline

• High neck or kurta collar: skip the big necklace. Wear a statement earring and a bracelet or kada.
• Round or V-neck: a pendant or a layered chain frames it well.
• Off-shoulder or deep neck: a short, bold necklace or a choker works.

One statement piece, not five

Choose a hero: either the earrings or the necklace. Keep everything else simple. If the earrings are big, wear a thin chain. If the necklace is bold, wear small studs.

Kada and bracelets

A gold-tone kada looks lovely with silk, cotton and bandhani alike. For a stacked look, wear a kada with one or two thin bracelets on the same wrist. Leave the other wrist bare.

Navratri and Garba tips

• You will dance, sweat and move a lot, so pick lightweight pieces that will not pull or snag.
• Choose secure closures for earrings and chains.
• Wipe your jewellery with a soft cloth after the night. Sweat is the main enemy of any plated finish.

Diwali looks

• Saree: a pendant set or a statement earring, plus a kada.
• Anarkali or lehenga: a layered necklace and a ring.
• Western dress for a party: minimal studs, a thin bracelet and one ring.

Gifting for the festive season

Jewellery is a lovely gift for a sister, mother, friend or colleague. Studs and thin bracelets suit almost everyone, and a nickel-free piece is a safe choice for sensitive skin.
