I know its quite difficult to choose the perfect jewelry for a saree. The fact is that most of us don’t wear saree every day. It just became occasional wear. We get confused in choosing jewelry for saree. So from my experience of wearing saree from my teenage, I have learned a few important things about choosing jewelry for saree. Today I am sharing those tips to you that how would you choose perfect jewelry for your saree.
These are the following tips
Border of the saree
To select the suitable jewelry you have to find the color of the border of your saree. Most of the sarees come in Golden, Beige, and Silver border.
For Golden and Beige border saree wear Gold or Gold plated jewelry.
For Silver border saree, go for Diamond, Whitestone, Oxidised Silver jewelry.
If the saree border is in some other color, You can choose a piece of jewelry in the color of the saree border.
Based on saree draping style
If you are wearing pleated pallu then opt for a short necklace. If you are wearing the saree in a free pallu style then a long chain with a pendant will look good.
Size of the Jewelry
Make sure the jewelry is not looking chunky. You can wear a necklace and an earring of medium size or a big statement earring.
For a simple saree, a big statement earring or necklace will be suitable
If the earring is a big chain or necklace can be avoided too.
Based on the type of the saree

Based on skin undertone
