Be it gold or sparkling diamonds, jewellery can instantly add a glam touch to any outfit! Whether you're wearing a sari or lehenga set, experiment with different styles of accessories and give your ethnic wear a stylish twist. To give you some inspiration, we're taking a look at the B-town divas who style their jewellery in the best way possible.

Gem-set jewellery
Gem-set jewels are an ideal pick for indo-western ensembles, modern saris and even traditional wear. Take a cue from Malaika Arora, who styled a diamond and emerald necklace with a modern sari gown. Tamannaah Bhatia on the other hand, experimented with an elaborate ruby necklace, which she styled with an anarkali.

Diamond jewellery
When it comes to diamonds, they can add a touch of sparkle to any outfit. Contemporary diamond sets can work well with cocktail saris, embellished lehengas and even indo-western gowns. One can also explore uncut diamonds like the one sported by Kiara Advani, which is a perfect mix of contemporary and modern design. The actress was seen wearing a layered diamond necklace with a fusion sharara set.

Temple jewellery
This style of traditional jewellery is not just reserved for bridal wear! It's the perfect pick for traditional attire and also a timeless trend which can be worn on many occasions. We loved how Madhuri Dixit made a statement with a long necklace and matching earrings with a silk sari. Another interesting way to experiment with temple jewellery is with one statement accessory. You can simply add a necklace with a shirt and lehenga look or style a maang-tikka or just earrings like Sonam Kapoor. The actress wore a stunning pair of temple-motif earrings with a red anarkali suit.

Gold jewellery
As most of the ethnic wear is enhanced with gold threads and embellishments, gold jewellery is a classic choice. Be it traditional choker necklace, bangles, rings or maang-tikka, one can never go wrong with gold jewels. From traditional motifs to accessories encrusted with colourful stones and diamonds, there's a lot to choose from when it comes to this style of jewellery! Take a cue from Vidya Balan, who loves to accessorise her ethnic outfits with gold jewellery.

Silver jewellery
Whether you're wearing a kurta or a boho ethnic look, silver jewellery can be your go-to choice! One can experiment with vintage styles, tribal-inspired designs and even temple motifs.

Pearl jewellery
If you think pearls are just meant for retro looks and western wear, then let these celebs inspire you! From Deepika Padukone to Kangana Ranaut, Bollywood divas keep showcasing different ways to wear pearls with ethnic wear.
