Diwali is not just a celebration of triumph and prosperity but also a time when fashion takes centre stage. The vibrant festivities call for outfits that sparkle just as much as the lights around, and no festive look is complete without the perfect traditional jewellery to complement it. Step up your style game this Diwali by experimenting with how you mix and match your traditional jewellery. You can blend Kundan jewellery with modern outfits or layer your favourite pieces for a trendy look. There are endless ways to make your Diwali ensemble stand out. Let us explore some creative ways to style traditional jewellery for Diwali celebrations, blending the old with the new, the bold with the minimalist, and everything in between.
MIX TRADITIONAL WITH MODERN: THE FUSION YOUR FESTIVE WARDROBE NEEDS
Who says you have to go all traditional or all modern? Take a leap this Diwali and mix the two!
Pairing Kundan jewellery with Modern Silhouettes
The regal Kundan jewellery is often associated with heavy and traditional outfits like lehengas or sarees. But why not shake things up a bit? Try wearing a beautiful Kundan necklace set like our Danica Statement Kundan Necklace Set with a modern saree that has a contemporary drape or a sleek pantsuit outfit. The contrast of classic and modern can create a balanced yet striking look that’s perfect for the festive season. Kundan jewellery is versatile enough to go with almost any outfit and is a fantastic piece to experiment with.

BREAK THE RULES: HAVE FUN WITH COLOURS AND METALS
Who made the rule that says you can’t mix metals or colours? Have fun with your jewellery this Diwali and that means breaking a few fashion "rules" along the way.
Mixing Gold and Silver? Yes, You Can!
There’s an old fashion rule that says you shouldn’t mix gold and silver. Diwali is the perfect time to break free from that notion. Mix and match traditional jewellery like gold-tone bangles with a chunky silver statement necklace. Want to go a step further? Combine CZ jewellery with your gold pieces for a little sparkle and shine. The trick is to balance bold pieces with subtle ones and ensure they complement each other rather than clash.
What’s even better is to incorporate a dual-tone accessory like our Elephants and Pearls Antique Earrings into your outfit. The earrings beautifully blend gold and silver tones to create a cohesive look that embraces the best of both metals. They are the perfect piece to ensure your Diwali ensemble is as sparkling as the celebrations.

LAYER IT LIKE A PRO: WHY WEAR ONE PIECE WHEN YOU CAN STACK?
Layering is one of the biggest trends in jewellery right now and Diwali is the perfect time to experiment with it. Layering works with necklaces, bangles or even earrings and adds depth to your look.
Stacking Necklaces for Maximum Impact
Layering necklaces is a great way to add drama to your Diwali look. Start with a choker necklace set as your base and layer it with a long necklace setor a pendant. For example, you can pair a subtle antique choker like our Antique Gold Plated Ram Parivar Idol Choker Earrings Set with a long necklace set or a statement pendant chain. The trick here is to make sure that each necklace is of a different length and texture to avoid tangling or overlapping awkwardly.

LET YOUR JEWELLERY STEAL THE SHOW: STATEMENT PIECES TO ELEVATE SIMPLE OUTFITS
Let your jewellery do the talking If your outfit is simple and minimal. A single statement piece like a bold necklace or eye-catching earrings is all you need to completely transform your look.
The Power of a Bold Necklace
A stunning bold necklace can instantly elevate a plain silk saree or a minimalist Anarkali. Try a layered neckpiece or heavily embellished choker necklace set with a simple outfit to make you look festive without too much effort. The contrast between the minimal outfit and the bold necklace will make it both stand out.
Statement Earrings: Instant Glam
Not in the mood for a necklace? No problem. Let your earrings take the spotlight. A pair of jhumka earrings like our Mansi Kempu Jadau Jhumka Earrings or heavy chandelier earrings paired with a simple outfit will have everyone complimenting your look. Just be sure to keep the rest of your jewellery minimal so the earrings can really shine.

DAY TO NIGHT: TRANSITION YOUR LOOK EFFORTLESSLY FOR EVERY DIWALI EVENT
Diwali celebrations often stretch from morning pujas to evening parties. So how do you transition your jewellery from day to night without a complete outfit change? Let’s break it down.
Keep it Light and Playful for Daytime
You want to keep things light and fresh during the day. Go for delicate pieces like a simple choker necklace set and a pair of stud earrings. Traditional oxidized jewellery with a sareealso offers an effortless charm for daytime events. A stack of thin oxidized bangles will make you look festive but not overdone.
Go Glamorous for the Evening Festivities
When the sun goes down and the party begins, it’s time to bring out the bling! Switch out your minimal jewellery for something more dramatic. Add some bold bangles like our Nova Nakshatra CZ Bangles to your outfit. Swap out your daytime studs for larger jhumka earrings or chandbalis. This transition ensures you are ready for the evening’s festivities and shining bright as the Diwali lights.
