Statement necklaces for the Sangeet
Sangeet functions are fast becoming the party event for Indian weddings. The Sangeet look has evolved to fusion dresses or even cocktail dressing. It is often envisaged as the space for celebrations, filled with family and friends dancing and enjoying themselves.
Most brides are looking at modern silhouttes for their Sangeet function. The ensemble is often resplendent in shimmer and colour, and often light enough to dance the night away. Jewellery trends have kept pace with changing customer preferences. The biggest of these is of course, statement necklaces.
Bold Statement pieces
Mouni Roy went for a bold statement necklace to highlight her look. She wore a dazzling golden lehenga from Falguni Shane peacock. Her necklace was a double sided piece, one side was styled with polki and emeralds while the other had more coloured stones included like rubies, emeralds and diamonds. Intricately carved with peacocks, it was matched with a peacock earrings. Her maang tikka too had emerald and uncut diamonds.
Glitter of diamonds
Rakul Preet Singh wore all diamond statement necklace with her enchanting Falguni Shane Peacock lehenga. The beige lehenga offset by silver and gold embroidery was embellished with stones, sequins and pearls. She completed the look with a stunning diamond necklace with matching diamond stud earrings. The look was completely charming and timeless.
Say it with Colour
Kiara Advani meanwhile made her sophisticated statement necklace shine. For her sangeet, she looked glowy and fresh. She chose an ombre Manish Malhotra lehenga shimmering with crystals. She dressed it up with a couture stone with marabou feather detailing. She wore a brilliant diamond necklace with a big tear drop ruby pendant. It was a sensational blending of garment and jewellery, both from Manish Malhotra.
How to wear this trend
Statement necklaces draw the eyes and creates a powerful focal point. Polki works as an excellent attention catching piece, especially if you add coloured stones for a contrasting impact.
Statement necklaces can either be standout chokers or layered necklaces. They go perfectly with lehengas and cocktail fusion gowns.
The jewellery should act as foil to the dress. You can go for contrasting stones, or for bold tear drop pieces that make a big impact.
The art to matching the jewellery is to ensure that it goes with the dress, and balances the rest of the jewellery.
