Shilpa Shetty loves it, Rani is fond of it and Vidya Balan has a huge collection that she keeps updating every now and then. We are talking about those traditional royal looking jhumkas - the umbrella like chandeliers adding charm to a woman's look. This Diwali, it's a must to own a pair of these opulent looking pieces and any Indian woman is incomplete without them.
Most of our B-town ladies are fond of this traditional jewellery piece and whenever they are doing a traditional appearance, jhumkas are a must. Actress Rani Mukherjee has a collection of jhumkas that ranges from pearls to diamonds to gold to meenakari. Vidya Balan is one actress who apart from Sabyasachi sarees loves jhumkas dearly. In fact this lady has a huge collection that she is so proud of and often wears one whenever she wears a Sabyasachi saree.
Knowing her love for this jewel piece, a fan of hers gifted her huge diamond studded pair last year that she is in extremely fond of of. Gold, silver, diamond, pearls, kundans, polki, jadau you name them and she has them in her jewellery box. These jhumkas suit her really well and goes best with her traditional avatar.
Jewellery designer Mihika Verma says, "Jhumkas looks effortlessly opulent and can go well with almost any Indian wear. A pearl pair looks elegant with a traditional Bengali saree while gold ones go well with silk sarees."
A silver pair can be teamed with kurta and Patiala/chudidars while diamonds one with heavily embroidered sarees. An antique pair can add charm to any dull look while the kundan ones are strictly for weddings and rare occasions. Jhumkas that you get in Jaipur and Rajasthan are famous for its beauty and though they look huge, they are hollow.
Aastha Parmar who is famous amongst her friends for her collection of jhumkas says, "I have a pair of jhumkas that I have picked from different states of India while I was on vacation. My work includes a lot of travelling and wherever I go I make sure that I get ample time to shop". This lady has a pair in almost anything from metal, lac, wood, plastic to gold but the ones that are her favourite is the one that has detailed meenakari wok on it. She picked it from the pink city Jaipur and the colours that adorn her jhumkas vary from red, blue, green and gold. Though there are a million options available out in the market, getting the one that suits your need and style is a difficult task. You have to surf thoroughly to find one elegant pair and at time the price you say is heavy on your pocket too.
In Mumbai there are thousands of imitation jewellery showrooms that have variety of options but those shops in the lanes of Zaveri bazaar is the best place where you can find one for yourself.
