Making a standout statement and styling exquisite jadau chokers with Indian festive wear is all about creating a harmonious balance between the intricate craftsmanship of the jewellery and the elegance of traditional attire.

Like Radhika Merchant, you too can create stunning and memorable looks on your big day with these beautiful jewels.

Choose complementary outfits: Select outfits that complement the colors of the jadau choker. For instance, if the choker features emeralds and pearls, consider outfits in shades of green, ivory, gold, or even deep reds to highlight the gemstones. Opt for luxurious fabrics like silk, velvet, or brocade that have a regal appeal and provide a rich backdrop for the intricate craftsmanship of the choker.

Focus on neckline: Jadau chokers look particularly elegant with high-neck blouses or sari blouses. This style allows the choker to sit prominently on the neckline without being overshadowed by other elements. If your outfit has an open neckline like a deep V-neck or sweetheart neckline, ensure the choker sits snugly around the base of the neck to create a balanced look.

Hair and makeup: Updos such as buns, braided buns, or even a sleek ponytail can beautifully showcase the choker and draw attention to your neckline. Consider a middle or side parting to frame your face and allow the choker to stand out. Opt for makeup that complements the colors of the choker. Soft, smokey eyes and nude lips often work well to keep the focus on the jewelry.

Accessories: Coordinate earrings with the choker. If the choker features emeralds, choose earrings with similar gemstones or pearls to create a cohesive look. Jadau chokers are statement pieces on their own. Avoid wearing heavy necklaces or excessive jewelry that could compete with the choker.

Balance the look: Ensure the size of the choker complements your face and body proportions. A well-fitted choker will enhance your neckline without overwhelming your overall look.
