September 30, 2019 (IANSlife) Traditional dressing is never complete without beautiful jewellery. And festivals are the time when traditional dressing is the most preferred. Yash Agarwal, Creative Director, Birdhichand Ghanshyamdas Jaipur suggests some statement pieces to look for when you're out jewellery-shopping. 

* Statement Earrings
Intricately designed earrings instantly add a character to an attire. Jhumar-style earrings, chandbalis and multi-layered jhumkas create a minimalistic yet chic look when paired with bold coloured outfits.

* Choker
While traditional wear can be coupled with polki or kundan jewellery, opting for traditional or a fusion-styled choker can add an extra edge to your look.
