A Few More Tips To Make The Most Of Your Jewellery With Lehenga

It's All About Contrast

Many ladies think coordinating their jewellery with lehenga will perfectly complete their look. While that may look good in some cases, experiment with contrast to make the ultimate statement. Your pink lehenga will look more dramatic and elegant when worn with emeralds rather than rubies. Also, when you colour contrast your jewellery and lehenga, each gets its due attention.

 

Blouse Necklines Are Important

Choosing your jewellery with lehenga based on the neckline of your blouse is another essential aspect of matching it to your lehenga. If you have a low blouse neckline, chokers are a great choice. However, layered or long necklaces such as rani haar, or no jewellery at all, complement a higher blouse neckline well.
