Let the Saree Do the Talking<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nYour saree and your jewellery are fighting for the same space. When zari, sequins or thick thread work is already sitting on the drape, a heavy necklace has nowhere to go. It crowds the neckline and pulls attention away from the work that made you pick the saree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Look for sarees where the design runs along the border, across the pallu and up near the shoulder. These are the ones that look finished on their own. And once you have a saree like that, your jewellery is only a finishing touch. Nothing more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Choose Saree Styles That Need the Least Jewellery<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nSome drapes are simply better at holding a look together. These are the designer sarees that need the least help from your jewellery box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Embellished Sarees: <\/strong>Sequins, beadwork, cutdana and stone work catch the light beautifully. A deep wine or midnight blue piece looks complete with nothing more than a pair of studs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Embroidered Sarees:<\/strong> These sarees feature intricate thread work, zardosi and mirror work. Gota patti, chikankari and aari work are also very good options for a minimal jewellery look.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Silk Sarees:<\/strong> Kanchipuram, Banarasi, Paithani and Chanderi silks have a natural richness which no accessory can copy.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Printed Sarees:<\/strong> Kalamkari, ikat, bandhani and floral prints give enough pattern to the eyes already. Small oxidised studs or one fine chain is sufficient with such prints.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Party Wear Sarees:<\/strong> Party wear sarees<\/a><\/strong> in organza, satin and tissue usually come with sequin borders and a metallic sheen. They are meant for evening functions and one good pair of earrings is enough with them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n\n

These are the details which decide it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Border Width: <\/strong>A broad and heavily worked border adds weight to the lower half of the drape, and everything above it can then be kept light.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Pallu Detail: <\/strong>When the pallu is heavily worked, it falls across the shoulder, and the job of a necklace is done for you.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Neckline Space: <\/strong>A high, closed or embroidered blouse neck is better kept bare.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Fabric Weight:<\/strong> Georgette, chiffon, linen and Bhagalpuri silk are light fabrics, but lightweight sarees<\/a><\/strong> also stand on their own when the surface work is generous.<\/strong> Always see the detailing on the saree and not the weight of the fabric alone.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Let Your Blouse Carry the Look<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nStatement blouses<\/a><\/strong> are the easiest way to reduce your jewellery. The blouse neckline occupies the same space where a necklace would sit, and the look is completed on its own.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- Boat Neck Blouse:<\/strong> A wide and intricately embellished boat neck covers the collarbone properly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- High Neck Blouse:<\/strong> This style gives off a refined, contemporary appearance with a modern feel.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Embroidered Collar:<\/strong> Zari, gota, or thread work around the neckline draws the eye upward.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Sequinned Sleeves: <\/strong>Sequin and cutdana work on the sleeves lifts the whole look, and the neckline remains plain.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Tie-Back with Tassels:<\/strong> A decorative tie-back with latkans or tassels adds beauty from every angle and pairs wonderfully with a free-flowing pallu.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n\n
