Jewellery to Wear with Handloom Sarees: From Tarakasi to Temple Gold

Handloom sarees have strong character, so the best jewellery complements the weave rather than competing with it. Here's a simple guide.

Tarakasi: Odisha's Silver Filigree

Tarakasi is the delicate silver filigree craft of Cuttack, made by twisting fine silver wire into lace-like patterns. Tarakasi earrings, pendants and hairpins look beautiful with Sambalpuri and Khandua sarees and are a proud way to wear Odisha's craft from head to toe.

Temple Gold Jewellery

For silk sarees at weddings and festivals, temple jewellery with deity motifs, coin necklaces and heavy jhumkas brings out the richness of the weave.

Oxidised Silver

Oxidised jewellery pairs wonderfully with cotton handloom, ikat and Kotpad sarees, giving an artistic, earthy look that suits college, office and casual events.

Pairing by Saree Type

• Cotton Sambalpuri / Pasapalli: Oxidised jhumkas or small silver studs.
• Silk Bomkai / Khandua: Gold temple necklace and jhumkas, or tarakasi silver.
• Tussar: Antique gold or chunky oxidised pieces.
• Kotpad / natural dyes: Silver, beads, wood or terracotta.

Balance Is Key

• Busy pallu? Choose a simple necklace and statement earrings.
• Plain body with rich border? A bold necklace works well.
• For office, keep to one statement piece.

Don't Forget the Details

A bindi, bangles, a gajra or a traditional hair accessory and a pair of toe rings can finish the look beautifully.
