Bollywood always shines with its beautiful stars that flaunt the latest trends. We've come up with a list of Indian jewelry trends that we think will hit big this 2022 and some ways for you to create a look that rivals that of your favorite celebrities.
What's great about this list is that you can easily create a jewelry collection of your own with these trendy pieces that can also work with your current wardrobe. Whether you’re a fan of the classics like traditional Indian jewelry or you’re completing your bridal jewelry, this list is your ultimate source of information to help you accomplish your preferred look. We've also included some tips for casual and formal wear to get all your bases covered.
Trends change every year and you might think that following the hype may not be worth it but they actually give you ideas on how to make pieces work for your personal style. What we like about the trends this year is that they are solid options that have a lasting appeal—something that you would want to have when building your jewelry collection.
Stacked Jewelry
One of the most stylish Indian jewelry trends that made it into 2022 is stacked jewelry. What you do basically is layer different pieces of jewelry that compliment one another and you now have a lively ensemble that can match your outfit.
Layering or stacking jewelry is a great way to elevate your style as it brings texture to a plain/simple outfit or anchors down a more detailed attire. This works for both casual and formal wear since you can use little pieces like rings, necklaces, and armlets to complete your whole look.

For more formal occasions, you can also take your pick from a variety of choker necklaces made of different metals and stones to accompany a heavy necklace for a more lavish yet sophisticated look. You'll surely turn heads as you make your entrance with this option.
Rings and bangles can also be used to complete your stacked jewelry look. Just plan your outfit ahead before stacking different pieces of jewelry to make sure everything works with you instead of against you. One way to do this is by being consistent with your metal choice. Create a cohesive look by choosing an all-silver or all-gold set and then add gemstones as you go along.
Jewelry is made to enhance the look of the wearer. Use that to your advantage and keep things interesting without going overboard with stacked jewelry.
Chandbalis
Earrings made it to the trendy list this year and to be more specific, the chandbali. The chandbali is one of those timeless pieces that will always have a place in an Indian woman's heart due to its natural appeal and ability to make an impression. It won't be part of traditional Indian jewelry if it didn't.
Chandbalis are a classy option since you'll find that it works on a lot of occasions—weddings, family events, parties, and the list goes on and on. The mix of ethnic beauty, history, and timeless look make chandbalis a staple in any Indian woman's prized collection.

Chandbalis are easily one of our favorites when it comes to glamming up formal attire. The elegant pendants, bold designs, and overall visual appeal of this earring make it a fool-proof option.
Modern chandbalis can be simple or downright exquisite in construction. Our suggestion is to use bigger statement pieces with outfits that are less striking to the eye to draw attention to the beauty of the jewelry and the wearer. Pair an ornate gold chandbali and a heavy pendant with a simple saree to make the piece stand out.
On the other hand, you can pair a silver chandbali with a saree that has a more striking color and design to give your look a subtle yet sophisticated accent. You have to strike that perfect balance when it comes to pairing jewelry with your outfits so they don't clash and make your look unpolished.
Gold Hoop Earrings
Gold hoop earrings are also back in style this 2022. Gold is an ever-present part of Indian culture so you just can't go wrong with it especially with something as eye-catching as hoop earrings.
What is good about gold hoop earrings is that they go along with any kind of outfit. They are versatile pieces that will work with anything that you throw at them due to their timeless nature. Another neat thing about them is that they are easy to pull off so when in doubt, reach for those gold hoop earrings in your jewelry box and put them on.
- How to Wear It
Make your gold hoop earrings stand out by wearing simple colored outfits. Neutral colors like white, black, and gray can benefit from the bold look that gold hoop earrings offer. The contrast between the shiny earrings and the understated outfit can do wonders for any woman of discerning style.
Indian weddings are always a great occasion to flaunt your personal style. Add an ethnic touch to your attire and use your gold hoop earrings with a red outfit. Gold and red are auspicious colors in Hindu culture. You can't go wrong with them.
Dainty Jewelry
This one's the complete opposite of traditional Indian jewelry. While most traditional pieces go for that bold, extravagant, and bold look, dainty jewelry offers a more understated but elegant style.
Modern jewelry pieces put the spotlight on the materials rather than intricate designs that can sometimes make the overall look of the jewelry a little bit distracting. Think of dainty jewelry as accent pieces instead of crowning jewels of your outfit—they add to the look, not steal the spotlight from it.
- How to Wear It
Choose a piece that has beautiful gemstones that work well together. Think of a single piece of emerald joined by a string of small diamonds for a clean but elegant look. The main point of wearing dainty jewelry is to create an ensemble that works with all the pieces together.
Also, be wary of the size of the jewelry. Go too small and you run the risk of a bland look. Go too big and then it's not dainty anymore. The right size and design will always look just right with any outfit.
Shell Jewelry
This one is perfect for holidays and feels just right for the beach. Seaside escapades and outfits will look great with shell jewelry. This is more of a playful piece that you can wear on vacations but it can also be paired with a casual get-up as well.
It's a laid-back piece of Indian jewelry that you're supposed to enjoy while in your downtime
- How to Wear It
Since shell jewelry already has a lot going for it, you can go the simple route and choose something that isn't too extravagant. A basic shell necklace can elevate your beach outfit and tell people that you are there to have a good time.
Since your shell jewelry is already simple, you can go loud with the rest of your attire. Pair your shell necklace or pearl ring with colorful swimwear for that loud but put-together look. You will never be overdressed for the beach, so might as well give your look a kick of style with jewelry that is right at home in the surf and sand.
Pearl Jewelry
One of the most classic pieces of jewelry that goes well with any kind of outfit. Pearl jewelry will always be a part of any Bollywood trend due to its timeless appeal and sophisticated charm.
Pearl works with any skin tone and can be worn by women of all ages. It's an enduring piece of jewelry and that's why it's common to hear stories of pearl jewelry being passed down from one generation to the next. They just make great heirloom pieces.
- How to Wear It
Formal wear can call for heavier pearl necklaces and pieces that are adorned with tiny pearls and pendants. It's a bold look that will make any Indian bride even more beautiful on her most special of days. Bigger necklaces with exotic designs benefit from this style the most. Headpieces like the maang tikka and matha patti also look prettier with studded pearls.
The other route involves going with a more laid-back or casual look—a classic chain with a lone pearl pendant. The simplicity is just stunning especially when paired with a beautiful outfit. Dark colors can give pearl jewelry a great backdrop that will make it stand out.
