Ready to light up every gathering this festive season? Let’s decode the ultimate Diwali jewellery arsenal.
Why Kundan Jewellery is Perfect for Your Diwali Look
Kundan is one of the oldest forms of Indian gemstone jewellery, with roots tracing back to the royal courts of Rajasthan and Gujarat. What makes it perfect for festive dressing is its ability to strike a balance between grandeur and tradition with its intricate settings, radiant gold, and delicate glass or uncut stones. A kundan jewellery necklace set or a pair of kundan chandbali earrings can instantly bring a regal aura to your looks.
Here are a few reasons why kundan jewellery is perfect for your Diwali look:
- It pairs beautifully with everything: sarees, dazzling lehengas or even a sleek Indo-Western silhouette.
- Gold kundan jewellery reflects Diwali’s festive lights, while stones add artful colour.
- It is steeped in heritage, making you stand out in family portraits and candids alike.
Tanishq Tip:
For Diwali, choose kundan jewellery with pops of green, red, or pearl detailing. These accents catch the festive light beautifully and complement the Diwali decorations well.
Types of Kundan Jewellery to Complete Your Festive Style
From statement necklaces to versatile earrings, kundan jewellery offers a wide variety of options to suit every wardrobe.
Let’s explore some of the top kundan jewellery products, each a statement in its own right:
Kundan Jewellery Necklace Set
A kundan jewellery necklace set is the quintessential festive piece. Layered against silk sarees or velvet lehengas, it makes for an heirloom-inspired look that feels festive yet modern. This season, try bold floral motifs, dual layers, or chokers highlighted by pearls.
Kundan Choker Set
The kundan choker set is having a big moment in fashion. Wear it with an off-shoulder blouse or a deep-neckline lehenga for a contemporary spin on traditional jewellery.
Kundan Earrings
Whether you love kundan jhumka earrings, kundan stud earrings, or the dramatic sway of kundan chandbali earrings, there’s something for everyone. Earrings are the easiest way to add kundan to your Diwali look.
Tanishq Tip:
Don’t forget to match your earrings to your necklace for a refined edge.
Kundan Rings & Other Accessories
Complete your look with a statement kundan ring or a layered gold kundan set. For those who prefer minimalism, delicate kundan small earrings or a kundan pendant are chic everyday picks.
Styling Tips – Pairing Kundan Jewellery with Festive Outfits
Jewellery styling is all about balance. Here’s how you can pair your festive outfits with Kundan for maximum impact.
- Saree + Kundan Choker Set: A silk or organza saree paired with a kundan choker set makes for a sophisticated yet powerful festive statement. Tie up your hair, add kundan stud earrings, and you’re ready for high tea or a Diwali card night.
- Lehenga + Kundan Jewellery Set: Level up your lehenga with a full kundan jewellery set: necklace, jhumkas, maang tikka, a statement ring and a stack of bangles. Opt for pastels or jewel tones in stonework to play off your outfit’s color.
- Anarkali + Kundan Long Necklace: There’s nothing quite like a flowing Anarkali and a kundan long necklace. Add a stack of gold bangles for tradition with a twist, and finish with chandbalis for maximum movement.
- Indo-Western + Kundan Stud Earrings: If you’re dressing in a fusion outfit — say, a drape gown or a festive jumpsuit — opt for kundan stud earrings or a gold bangle with kundan accents, worn as a bracelet. They’re subtle yet celebratory, keeping the look light and versatile.
Gold & Kundan – A Festive Favourite
The pairing of gold jewellery with kundan has been an enduring classic. While pure gold offers timeless appeal, it’s the kundan work that brings Diwali’s drama to life. This marriage of textures is why gold kundan sets, kundan necklace in gold, and layered kundan jewellery sets remain wardrobe essentials for every festive calendar.
Tanishq Tip:
Gold-based Kundan designs not only elevate your Diwali look but also hold their value as timeless pieces you’ll return to for weddings, anniversaries, and festivals.
