To complete her look, the actor picked statement-making earrings by Birdhichand (don’t miss the layers and layers of gems cascading down to her shoulders) and a potli bag from The Pink Potli. The super heavy ear cuff multi-layer jhumkas in Jadau style worn by fashionista Sonam Kapoor in ‘Veere Di Wedding’ are a bridesmaid’s essential for you. These are the top favourite on our list.
AISHWARYA RAI ‘JODHA AKBAR’ CHOKER
Jodhaa Akbar was quite the magnum opus, from its grand sets to the elaborate cinematography. Another impressive feature of this film was the jewellery, which was not only opulent like the palaces and the costumes but also ideal for wedding-outfit inspiration. Even though most of us can’t afford to purchase those pieces, they made for great design inspiration for those making imitation traditional jewellery, and the way the necklaces were layered and paired also gave us inspiration on how to style such pieces.
