Top 7 tips to perfectly pair jewelry with your saree

A saree is one of the most gorgeous and elegant pieces of clothing that Indian women have been adorning since time immemorial. The six-yard of pure grace can make the perfect eveningwear at parties and classy attire for daytime events. Many women prefer wearing sarees regularly; however, also have a special collection of festive sarees which make them look heavenly. If you want to turn heads when you wear a saree, you need to choose the right jewelry and accessories that go perfectly well with the outfit and make your appearance dazzle.

Choosing the right necklace for a saree is not always an easy task. Even simple jewellery for a saree has to be picked after careful consideration. So, let us quickly discuss the tips that can help us match ideal jewelry with a saree.

1. Choose jewelry based on the saree type

While you choose a piece of jewellery for a saree, you should first be sure of the type of saree you have. If the saree has heavy work on it, you can go for jewelry that has a minimalist design in it to balance it out. Going overboard with the jewelry can compromise the entire look. For a traditional saree, you can wear drop earrings that will give you an elegant look.

2. Match it with your saree draping style

Not many people consider this but your saree draping style plays a major role when it is about choosing the right jewellery set for the saree. If the pallu of your saree is pleated, you can opt for a short necklace. A short necklace plays a multi-functional role; hence, can be worn with many draping styles of a saree.

3. Balance the saree border with the right neckpiece

Sarees come with borders of different sizes. Before you finalize the saree accessories and jewelry, you first need to think about the border of your saree. Depending on the border size, you can decide whether you want simple jewellery for a saree or something heavy. You can also try to match the color of the jewelry with the border of the saree. For example, if it is a Nauvaaris saree with a bold and rich golden border, you can go for gold-plated jewelry. If the border has bright colors, you can choose jewelry that is enameled.

4. Match the skin tone with the jewelry

If you want the jewelry you wear to go perfectly well with your looks, you must consider your skin tone. Opting for gold or gold-plated jewelry is a great choice if your skin tone is warmer. If your skin tone is lighter, you can opt for silver or diamond jewelry. Silver jewelry with a subdued sheen usually compliments most skin tones.

5. Contrasting saree colors with pearl jewelry

Whether you are going to wear a traditional or a modern saree, a pearl set will never disappoint you. Pearl jewelry pieces go well with various types of attires as it contrasts most saree colors beautifully. If you are looking for options for black saree jewellery, a pearl jewelry set will match the best.

6. Consider the size of the jewelry

Shop Naaz Bangle

No matter how intricate the design of your jewelry is, if its size is not apt, all your efforts will go in vain. If it is a simple saree, you can wear a thick bangle. If your saree is heavy and gorgeous, you should rather go for sleek bangles and other simple jewelry pieces. Minimalist jewelry is a great way for you to stand out if you are wearing plain sarees.

7. Go for sets wherever possible

Picking the sets that include a necklace and earrings will make many things easier for you. For example, if you are looking for a pair of black earrings for a saree, you can choose a set instead wherein you will also get a necklace with the same design. It is great if your saree has patterns that match the design of the jewelry.

Sarees are versatile and graceful pieces of clothing that can make you look astounding even in a room full of gorgeous people. Matched with the perfect jewelry using the above tips, it can elevate the look of your saree even more. Zariin has several amazing jewelry pieces that can be paired perfectly with many sarees and other ethnic dresses.
