Desi Jewellery Styling 101

Hi there! Struggling to style your stunning jewelry pieces? Whether it’s bold statement necklaces or dainty anklets, this blog has all the tips you need to effortlessly showcase your favorite Asian jewelry.

Plus, we’re diving into why some styling rules are made to be broken—because confidence is your best accessory.

Let’s dive in and elevate your look with confidence!

Statement Necklaces / Heavy Necklaces

Styling statement necklaces can be tricky, people tend to fear overwhelming their outfits. If that’s you, try pairing heavier jewellery with solid-colored outfits to make your necklace the star of the show. A bold piece can transform a minimalistic outfit, it adds depth and sophistication.

But don’t shy away from wearing heavy jewellery with louder outfits either! Look for silver tones in your outfit—if silver sequins dominate, opt for silver jewelry; if gold embellishments are prominent, go for gold. Can’t decide? Match the overall color tone: cool tones pair with silver or pearls, and warm tones with gold.

This subtle technique ties your look together effortlessly.

Bold Earrings

If your outfit is already a statement in itself, skip a necklace and let your statement earrings do the talking. Thje right earrings can be a showstopper, but the right hairstyle is key to making them stand out without overpowering the look.

Updos: A sleek but voluminous bun works wonders. For a traditional twist, try a plait with Dutch braids or front twists to elevate the style.

Hair Down: If you prefer having your hair up 24/7 (no judgment, girl, I’m the same), go for a cute half-up, half-down style. My go-to is two loose braids at the front, pulled apart for more volume, and tied together at the back. Don't forget to leave out face-framing pieces! I like curling mine for extra volume.

No Braids? No Problem: Stick with a simple half-up look and elevate it by adding small twists at the front and a delicate tikka for a desi-inspired twist.

Tikkas: Incorporating Them Beyond Traditional Settings

Speaking of tikkas, they aren’t just for wedding season, girl! Who says you can’t wear one to a New Year’s party or a fancy birthday dinner? If tiaras can work outside of fairy tales, so can tikkas.

For non-traditional events, go for smaller, minimalist tikkas in neutral tones like gold, silver, white, or beige. They add a subtle desi twist without overpowering your outfit, making them perfect for modern styling.

Honestly, it’s all about confidence—if you love it, you’ll rock it.

Incorporating Asian Twists into Your Outfits

Anklets: The Most Underrated Accessory

OMG, anklets! Why don’t we see more girls wearing them? They’re so cute and versatile.

This isn’t even a styling tip—it’s a PSA: get yourself some anklets, girl! The gentle jingle as you walk, the extra sparkle in summer, or the subtle shine during winter (even if you’re just in pajamas opening gifts), anklets are just so pretty.
