The festivities are in full swing, and it's time to dig out the most dramatic pieces of jewellery from your closet—the prettiest jhumkas and jewelled chandbalis—to go with the ethnic outfits. But your regular hair-down do won't cut it if statement earrings are on the cards.

Try a twisted low bun to give your kundan danglers full screen time. If you have straight hair, a slicked-down middle parted look will add balance to an opulent ensemble. If your hair is curly or wavy, play with the texture for a soft, more casual style. A high bun will put your shoulder dusters squarely in focus. Love accessorising? Finish with a jewelled band or some romantic pastel flowers. No time for a bun? Just slick your hair back on the sides, add some gel to set, and let your jewellery take centre stage.
