Alia Bhatt makes ear chains cool again: Top picks for your Karwa Chauth look

Karwa Chauth calls for timeless yet trendy jewellery and this year, Alia Bhatt has revived the charm of ear chains by wearing them at Juhu's Durga Puja celebrations and giving them a modern edge while keeping their ethnic elegance intact. If you're looking to add that regal yet contemporary touch to your festive attire, here are the most stunning picks to elevate your look this Karwa Chauth.
This stunning pair is a regal combination of intricate Kundan craftsmanship and delicate pearls. The ear chain adds a graceful drape effect from your hair to the earrings, giving your look a royal finish. Perfect for Karwa Chauth, these earrings complement heavy outfits such as Banarasi silk sarees, lehengas, or even richly embroidered Anarkalis. The Kundan detailing reflects traditional charm, while the pearls add softness, making them ideal for women who want elegance without going over the top.
If you're looking for sparkle, this American Diamond (AD) studded piece is a must-have. The gold plating lends it a rich finish, while the shimmering stones ensure that your jewellery glistens beautifully under the festive lights. This ear hair chain is versatile enough to be worn with both contemporary sarees in pastel shades and traditional red or maroon lehengas. Lightweight yet striking, it's perfect for those who want comfort along with glamour for their long Karwa Chauth rituals and celebrations.
For women who love to make a statement, this KRIXO design is a true showstopper. The jhumkas are crafted with Kundan and pearl beads, while the multi-strand pearl chain adds drama and volume. This design draws attention to your face and enhances your festive makeup, making it an excellent pick for Karwa Chauth evenings when you want all eyes on you. Pair it with a silk saree or even a flowy chiffon dupatta to create a goddess-like aura.
Rooted in age-old Indian artistry, this meenakari jhumka is perfect for traditional lovers. The vibrant enamel work paired with the ear chain makes it a beautiful addition to your festive wardrobe. Meenakari has always been associated with Mughal-inspired elegance, and this piece brings that legacy alive in a way that's wearable for modern-day celebrations.

This elegant and minimal design is perfect for women who prefer subtlety.

Not necessarily. Modern ear chains are designed to be lightweight and comfortable. While traditional Polki and Kundan styles may feel slightly heavier, options with pearls or AD stones are much easier to carry throughout the day.
Store them in a soft pouch away from moisture and perfumes. Clean gently with a dry cloth after use to maintain their shine and avoid tarnishing.
No! While they are rooted in traditional styling, ear chains are versatile. They can be paired with Indo-western outfits, flowy maxi dresses, or even fusion sarees for a modern festive twist.
Ear chains look best when paired with sarees, lehengas, or Anarkalis that have open or side-parted hairstyles. Pinning the chain into your hair with a maang tikka or bun enhances the overall look and keeps it secure.
