Fret not, at Tarinika jewelry we’ve got you covered.   A brand that’s carefully been crafting and catering to the jewelry needs of thousands of women, our team of designers churn out some of the most loved pieces of Antique jewellery every year. Strongly rooted, we also work with jewelry that complements western attire as well.   We bring you five great ideas that will leave a lasting impression on all at that big event.  Statement Earrings: Statement earrings always make for a grand choice when it comes to putting together a look for your western attire. In fact, for many a smart pair of earrings are the go-to jewelry for western wear. A good set can have you sorted with your look in no time.   While there is a range of geometry inspired jewelry to choose from, ethnic designs can make a statement like none other. The beautiful red/blue hued Aashi antique earrings from Tarinika are a bold pair.   With delicate detailing gone into crafting this traditional chandbali, the pearl clusters, antique gold plating and color options complete the look. Whether you’re choosing earrings for a long gown or for a short dress, these statement earrings are all that you need to look your dazzling best.  Stylish Necklaces: Another great way to accentuate your western attire, is to complement it with a suitable necklace. A short necklace can look great on a deep neck dress, adding glamor to your party look.   When choosing a short necklace, do ensure that it complements the neckline of your dress and is visible in its complete glory. If you’re unsure of what kind of short necklace to opt for, then do have a look at the Geeti antique silver necklace set. Pretty in silver, the fine work on this beautiful necklace adds to its appeal. The complementary earrings make the look complete, and you’re all set to shine at the party you’re headed to.   A classy combination, go for this style if silver jewelry suits your skin tone.  Antique Necklaces: For those of you who’re looking for glamor to complement their western attire, then  antique necklaces can work beautifully.  Paired right, antique necklaces can break the monotony of a monochrome attire and bring in the much-needed drama. Moreover, if silver isn’t the color for you, then gold based antique necklaces should be the jewelry to look at.   Choosing an elegantly crafted antique necklace that suits the color wheel of your dress, complements its neckline and matches your skin tone, can win you a great look.   We recommend that you have a look at Tarinika’s Vallari antique necklace set. With pretty pearls enhancing the look of the necklace and earrings, this one’s a grand choice that will go well with your beautiful silk dress.  Statement Anklets: You can also add an element of freshness to your western look with the Indian touch of anklets. Choose beautifully designed anklets and wear either as a single anklet or as a set.   Anklets are flexible jewelry, and you can also use these creatively to add to your western look. The house of Tarinika offers a stunning and varied range of anklets to choose from.   You can complete your look with effortless ease from our extensive collection. However, we’d like to draw your special attention to the Uttara antique anklets.  Crafted in traditional style, this goes well with short pyjamas and skirts. However, when choosing anklets such as the Uttara, do ensure that you wear open style sandals which enable you to showcase the beauty of this anklet.  Longer Necklaces: An important accessory for any attire, be it western or Indian, is a nice long necklace. While short necklaces do complement certain neck lines and neck shapes, the longer necklaces usually offer a wider range of flexibility.   You can opt for a necklace with geometric designs to complement your western look. Alternatively, ethnic designs crafted in a metal color of your choice also do wonderfully well.   A piece de resistance from Tarinika is the Ramaiya antique pendant set, which comes with a carefully crafted chain and temple jewelry inspired pendant. A perfect complement for Indian sarees and lehengas, an offbeat look can be curated for your western attires too, with the statement jhumkas and beautiful necklace.  Whatever jewelry you opt for, make your choice at a trusted store, that offers a good range, high quality and the best prices.
