Chandbali Earrings: A Durga Puja Staple
We can’t skip on chandbali earrings when we talk about Durga Puja jewellery, because they’ve been a crowd favourite for centuries. At Isharya, we like to call them moon baalis because they’re created with a modern twist, blending the best of both worlds. The beauty of these earrings lies in their ability to flatter every face shape and instantly elevate any festive outfit. Chandbali earrings get their name from their crescent-like shape. The Mughals introduced them, but they are now loved by Indians everywhere. The only rule to remember when styling your chandbalis is to ensure you pick the size according to the event.

These necklaces were incredibly popular in the fashion jewellery world but are now gaining recognition in the ethnic jewellery world as well. The choker necklace can spruce up every neckline while drawing attention to your collarbone, making you look more feminine and delicate. It is also a great way to enhance your facial features without putting in too much effort. This season, they’re proving to be the best plus ones for your traditional sarees.

Tips to Mix Gold Plated Jewellery with Outfits
Gold-plated jewellery is one of the most versatile style staples in your festive wardrobe. It brings together the richness of traditional design with the wearability of modern pieces — perfect for occasions like Durga Puja, weddings, and cocktail nights. Here’s how you can effortlessly mix gold-plated jewellery with your outfits.
1. Balance Statement and Simplicity
Pair bold chandbali earrings with a minimal outfit, like a plain silk saree or a monochrome dress. Let the earrings take the spotlight while keeping other accessories understated. This ensures elegance without overwhelming your look.
2. Layer With a Choker Necklace
For grand occasions such as Durga Puja jewellery styling, try layering your gold-plated choker necklace with delicate chains or long necklaces. This creates a regal, multi-dimensional look while keeping the ensemble versatile enough to move from day rituals to evening gatherings.
3. Blend With Fabrics and Hues
Gold-plated jewellery complements rich fabrics like silk, velvet, and brocade. For pastel or muted shades, add sparkle with zircon-studded gold pieces. For bold reds and blacks, choose mirror-detailed or pearl-accented gold jewellery to balance opulence with sophistication.
4. Mix With Modern Outfits
Don’t shy away from pairing gold-plated jewellery with western wear. A sharp blazer and denim set instantly feels festive with chandbalis, while a choker necklace can elevate a cocktail gown for an Indo-western twist.
5. Keep Care in Mind
Gold-plated jewellery shines longer with proper care. Always store it in soft pouches, avoid direct perfume contact, and gently wipe after wear to keep the plating fresh.
Whether you’re dressing for pujas, parties, or casual chic moments, gold-plated pieces make every outfit a touch more radiant.
