As a 90s kid, you probably watched your favorite celebrity style choker necklaces with traditional or western outfits. Choker necklaces have stood the test of time amongst the countless accessories. They continuously reinvent themselves to suit various trends and fashion sensibilities. These close-fitting necklaces, once a staple of the 90s grunge era, have made a remarkable comeback in recent years. The Indian chokers grace the necks of fashion enthusiasts across the globe.

You may have a dress that you are in love with and jewelry that you adore. However, if the two do not go together, then the whole look can fall apart. Crafting a perfect look is an art, and while it may seem tough, it can be cultivated. At Tarinika, we bring you a few easy step-by-step questions, to help you match your jewelry to your outfit. Does the Jewelry Pair Well With the Neckline of Your Dress? Whether you are dressing up in Indian or western wear, the most important aspect to consider is to match your jewelry with the shape of your neckline. The wrong pairing takes away the attention from both your beautiful jewelry and your lovely dress. It also leads to your jewelry getting hidden behind your clothes. So, keep in mind that choker sets can look absolutely flattering when worn over off-shoulder dresses or attires with a cowl neck. Similarly, go for a short or long pendant-based necklace when pairing clothes with turtlenecks or collar neck styles. The simple yet smart  Aglow delicate CZ pendant set is a lovely piece to opt for. Available in varied color options, you can easily mix and match it to your dresses. What is the occasion you are dressing for? Your jewelry should always complement the occasion you are wearing it for. Formal occasions such as business meetings or award functions require you to choose jewelry with minimal levels of fuss. Also, prefer lightweight jewelry for such occasions. A  Jalaja lotus motifs pearl necklace set can be your best friend for formal events. Subtle yet grand, shine in the limelight with its class and style. Are you able to connect jewelry to the attire? Matching your jewelry to your attire is of utmost importance. For example, a heavy ghagra choli has a lot going on in terms of design. Such clothes should not be paired with jewelry that contradicts the attire. Western attire on the other hand is simpler and all about cuts. Depending on whether you are wearing a monochrome dress or a multi-colored attire, choose jewelry accordingly. You can also opt for jewelry like the Bella CZ Pearl Beads choker set. With white pearls crafting the length of the necklace, the color accents, enable you to match this on multiple kinds of attire. How good is the color coordination? A well color-coordinated set of jewelry can enhance your appearance for any outfit. While you need not always go for the exact shade of jewelry, you can safely play with matching colors to create a look that's stylish and sizzling. The beautiful Kumud antique choker set is a great purchase, as the colors allow you to create multiple looks. So, look for colors that complement or contrast your attire. Amongst the metal colors of silver and gold, opt for tones that match both your skin tone and the palette of your dress. Is your jewelry the right size for you? Another aspect that is often overlooked is the size of the jewelry you wear with a dress. A small pendant, for example, can look pretty but can get hidden in the look you are trying to create. Alternatively, a bold piece of jewelry can end up creating a look that is clumsy and overdone. Choosing a size that is right for the occasion and your body type thus becomes important. Opting for a necklace set like the Mayur antique gold plated pendant set, can help you create a balanced look. Wear it over your favorite silk sari, and watch the compliments pour in. Most importantly, are you expressing your unique style? It is important to express your unique style through your jewelry choices. Choose statement pieces of jewelry that reflect your personality. However, a statement piece of jewelry should not overwhelm with its size and color. Opt for jewelry that complements with its size, color, and artisanship and reflects who you are. An excellent choice for many is the  Sholia delicate CZ bracelet. A well-crafted design, the delicate artisanship is eye-catching, making this a perfect choice for cocktail parties and special evenings. Whatever your jewelry choices may be, pairing them with the right outfit can make a world of difference. So, keep adding high-quality and well-crafted jewelry pieces to your jewelry collection and keep reinventing your look by matching your outfit perfectly with your jewelry.

Jewelry is a cherished purchase for all; however, it is essential to keep a few crucial aspects in mind before choosing a piece for yourself. Many people often make the mistake of buying jewelry based on a whim. As a result, one ends up with details that may be impractical, expensive, and usually low in quality. To ensure that the purchase you make will stand the test of time and serve you for long, here are five things you need to keep in mind before your purchase.  Know the purity and quality  The purity and quality of the material is important consideration when it comes to buying choker necklace jewelry. When buying gold or silver jewelry, do consider the purity parameters for each. Buying from a trusted store that provides you with information on the quality of your product is advisable. Also, when buying diamonds, crystals, or semi-precious stones, ensure that it comes with certifications from a reputed organization. As important as it is to know the purity, check the quality of the product too. Ensure that the clasps and joints of your product are sturdy to withstand friction and that the store will support you in case any issue arises.    The price and budget  Go for jewelry shopping with a budget in mind. This will enable you to choose smartly without going overboard. Planning a budget allows you to earmark an amount and get the best buy within the range. This is especially important for events like weddings, where you have multiple expenses and do not want to splurge on jewelry alone. This is also a great idea when you're comparing jewelry at different stores and will allow you to get better returns on your money. Look for deals and discounts, as other stores do offer these around festive seasons, and you can get fabulous jewelry at much lesser costs.    Deciding what to wear it with  As you go about purchasing jewelry, it is essential first to decide what to wear it with. This will help you choose better, based on the neckline and amount of work on the dress. This is especially true for wedding jewelry, as you need to buy ornaments that complement your attire and enhance your appearance. A dress with heavy embroidery is well complemented with a more straightforward piece of jewelry and vice versa. Also, ensure that the color of jewelry complements your attire well.    Choose according to your body type and skin tone.  Many make the mistake of choosing Indian anklet jewelry that does not suit their body type or skin tone. Often purchased on a whim or based on trends followed by celebrities, these pieces may not compliment your face shape well. So be careful and choose jewelry that matches your face shape, skin tone, length of neck, and body type. This will ensure that your jewelry complements your body type beautifully and makes you look stunning. Various parameter guidelines are available to enable you to make the right purchase in this regard.    Do a bit of comparison shopping.  Last but often, the most overlooked aspect is comparison. While jewelry shopping is often an impulse purchase, smart buys are made when you've done your homework well. Do a few background checks and compare jewelry from different online stores. This will give you a fair idea of how the market is like, where you should buy and what you can plan to spend. Reading reviews is another crucial aspect of comparison-shopping because it lets you know what customers are saying about their purchases. This, in turn, will help you shop more smartly.     Jewelry shopping is always a delight, as there's plenty of excitement surrounding your purchase. As you indulge in shopping for beautiful jewelry, ensure that you shop safely and from trusted brands. Online transactions need to be done carefully, and going with a trusted name will keep you safe.
