💡 The One-Statement Rule:
Choose one hero piece per ethnic look. If you wear oversized shoulder-grazing Chandbalis, skip the necklace completely. If you wear a heavy Kundan choker, pair it with subtle ear studs. Competing heavy pieces visually crowd the collarbone.
The right jewellery can turn a simple ₹1,500 cotton kurti into a showstopping ensemble. However, pairing the wrong necklace with your kurta’s neckline creates visual clutter.
