Styling Silver Jewelry for Raksha Bandhan and the Festive Season

There are no limits in colors or styling with silver jewelry. Be it with a heavy ethnic outfit or a fashionable Indo-Western outfit, it always manages to stand out. August has set the mood for festivities, and with Raksha Bandhan around the corner, now is the time to upgrade your look with classic silver accessories. And right after Raksha Bandhan comes Diwali, Janmastami, and more, so here’s your guide.

How to Style Your Silver Jewelry?

Here’s how you can style silver jewelry this Rakhi and throughout the festive season, to bring out your best festive self.

1. Keep It Elegant With Simple Kurtis

Kurtis are comfortable, elegant, and can be easily dressed up or down; they are essential in every Indian woman’s closet. A few pieces of silver jewelry and you have transformed a basic outfit into a holiday look.

Style Tip: 

Team your kurti with a single statement silver jhumka, a bold kada and a couple of sleek bangles. Top it all off with a delicate ankle bracelet and toe ring, and you are ready to exude subtle sparkle.

Why it works: 

A combination of minimalism and tradition that adds a classy yet vibrant touch to your outfit. A simple cotton or printed kurti can also look festive with the right silver jewelry. Kurtis also pairs well with chandbalis and oxidized studs.

2. Sarees and Silver – A Timeless Match

There is nothing that epitomizes Indian womanhood more than a saree. With silver jewelry, the effect is achieved – grounded, graceful, and elegant.

Style Tip: 

Opt for a linen/cotton/silk saree and team it with a chunky oxidized choker set or a silver neckpiece inspired by Kundan-Polki. Pair with oversized bangles or stacked bracelets, a statement ring, and don’t forget an anklet and toe ring to complete the quintessential desi look.

Why it works: 

Silver works with almost every color of saree, whether deep jewel tones or soft pastels. Silver jewelry is perfect for a classic appearance, but it can also be used to achieve a more contemporary look; it is a subtle way to add some sparkle without competing with your clothing.

3. Lehengas – Always in Vogue

A lehenga is a timeless festive favorite. Whether it is a Raksha Bandhan dinner or Diwali get-together, a lehenga with silver jewelry takes the cake for a stunning outfit.

Style Tip:  

Pair a classic choker or statement necklace with a maang tikka and chunky bangles, an embossed ring, and a traditional anklet and toe ring set.

Why it works: 

The silver jewelry offsets the weightiness that can sometimes come with heavily embroidered lehengas, adding a balanced elegance and hint of artisanal appeal. Silver pairs beautifully with all handlooms as well as mirror work lehengas.

4. Indo-Western Looks with a Silver Twist

Contemporary and ethnic have both been blended into a modern festive wardrobe, and silver jewelry gels perfectly. Imagine crop tops with palazzos, fusion sarees, or long jackets over dresses.

Style Tips

Pair oxidized silver boho earrings with quirky outfits, or boho chokers with quirky outfits. Chunky silver chains with layers of pendants, or simple geometric silver rings and cuffs, can cut a dramatic edge to your celebration outfit.

Why it works: 

The raw and rustic appearance of silver complements Indo-western cuts and motifs seamlessly, leaving you looking stylish without being ostentatious.

Contemporary Trends in Silver Jewelry 

The trendiest new festive wear is a fusion of the old and the new. And silver jewelry pieces are changing with the times – contemporary shapes, tribal designs, and fusion designs.

Hot Picks This Season:

• Large jhumkas with colored enamel

• Goddess motif temple-style chokers

• Layered hoops and silver ear cuffs

• Stacked rings with semi-precious stones

• Oxidized nose pins and hathphools, or hand harnesses

These pieces are perfect for a contemporary and individual take on festive wear that is still very much Indian.

Important Finishing Touches 

It’s the details that can bring your look together. These can be supplemented with festive accessories such as bindi chains, silver kamarbands, and hairpins.

Remember to:

• Wear your juttis or kolhapuris with anklets.

• Experiment with a silver brooch on your saree pallu or dupatta.

• Wear silver hair pins in your bun or braid for a hint of sparkle.

Care Tips to Keep Silver Bright 

Festivals are long and hectic, and your silver jewelry needs a little TLC to keep shining through it all.

• Store your jewelry in airtight pouches to prevent oxidation.

• Wipe with a soft cloth after use.

• Do not spray perfumes or sprays directly onto the metal.

• Store each piece individually to prevent scratching.

With a bit of care, your silver can last for decades and become part of your beloved holiday wardrobe.
