Quick answer: For jhumkas under Rs 1000, start with size and weight. The pairs in our range run from about 8 g to 30 g, in antique gold, gold or silver plating. Pick the colour to match your outfit and choose a lighter pair for long functions. These are fashion jhumkas in plated alloy or brass.

Jhumkas are the earrings that make a saree or suit look festive, and a good pair lasts through a whole function if it is the right weight. Our jhumkas under Rs 1000 collection shows the range, and this guide explains what to check before you order. Check the price on each product page, because it can differ by design.
What kinds of jhumkas are in this collection?
You will find antique gold jhumkis set with uncut kundan stones in green, purple, yellow and white, a traditional oval brass pair, a gold-plated pair with a brown stone and pearls, and round silver-plated jhumkis. Browse the full jhumka earrings collection for more, or the kundan jhumka collection if you only want kundan.
How big and heavy are they?
The smaller kundan jhumkis are 3.5 x 1.5 cm and 8.2 g, and the green flower pair is 3 x 1.5 cm at 11 g. The purple flower pair is 4 x 1.5 cm at 14.4 g, and the round silver-plated pair is 3.3 x 1.5 cm at 13.4 g. At the bold end, the brown stone and pearl pair is 7.3 x 4 cm and 29.8 g, and the traditional oval brass pair is 6.5 x 1.5 cm at 22 g. Read the size line before you order.
Which finish should I choose: antique gold or silver?
Antique gold suits traditional sarees and sits well beside temple-style jewellery. Silver plating on alloy matches white, pale blue, grey and lavender, as the product pages suggest, and breaks up a bright anarkali in pink or yellow. Our gold-tone vs silver-tone guide helps if you can only buy one.
Which jhumka colour goes with my outfit?
Green kundan jhumkis suit a red or pink silk saree. Purple is hard to match, so build the outfit around it with grey, lilac or cream. Yellow kundan fits a haldi or mehndi outfit in white, green or pink, and white kundan goes with a pastel lehenga or a plain white kurta. Brown stones bring out rust, maroon and beige. Use the jewellery by outfit hub to start from the clothes.
It also helps to match the earring size to your face and neck. A small 3 cm pair suits a short neck or a high-collar blouse, while a 6 to 7 cm pair draws the eye downward and works with open hair or a plain neckline. If you are unsure, start with a mid-size pair around 3.5 cm, which the listed kundan jhumkis cover.
Are jhumkas comfortable for a long function?
The pairs listed as light enough to wear through a full function are the smaller ones around 8 to 14 g. A bold pair near 30 g is better with the hair tied back and a plain neckline, and for a shorter time. Our comfortable jhumkas guide and the heavy earrings guide add practical tips.
Which occasion suits which jhumka?
The kundan jhumkis are described as a natural pick for mehndi and sangeet. The round silver-plated pair suits a mehndi lunch or a family visit when you want a traditional shape without heavy gold tones, and the oval brass pair suits a cotton saree at a family function. For an evening look, wear the brown stone and pearl pair. See the jhumka styles and occasions guide.
Two small checks save trouble. First, look at the closure and the weight together: a heavier jhumka needs a secure fitting, so press it gently to be sure it closes. Second, check the box line. Every jhumka listing here says one pair of earrings, so you do not need to worry about getting a single piece.
How do I care for jhumkas?
Wipe them with a soft cloth after wearing, keep perfume, sprays and water away, and store each pair in its own pouch so the stones do not scratch. Hang or lay them flat instead of piling them in a box. Remove them before sleeping, because the hook can catch on pillows and hair.
If you are buying for several outfits, a good plan is one antique gold pair, one silver pair and one bold statement pair. That covers most sarees and suits, and the three pairs fit in a small pouch box. Our earrings collection has more shapes when you want studs or chandeliers.
