Lohri, Baisakhi and Makar Sankranti Jewellery Looks
by Jihaan Savla on Oct 18, 2026
Quick answer: For Lohri, Baisakhi and Makar Sankranti, let the outfit lead and keep the jewellery one statement piece plus bangles. A bright phulkari dupatta or embroidered suit works best with gold-tone jhumkas or kundan earrings and a stack of bangles, and little else at the neck. Order a week or more before the festival, because delivery takes 4 to 15 days.

North Indian harvest festivals are about colour, warmth and dancing, so jewellery has to look good and stay comfortable through a long evening around the fire or a day of bhangra and fairs. This guide covers what to wear with a Punjabi suit, a phulkari dupatta, a lehenga or a plain festive kurta. All pieces are artificial fashion jewellery in gold-plated or silver-plated brass or alloy, never solid gold or real stones. Festival dates change every year, so check a calendar and order early.
What jewellery goes with a Punjabi suit for Lohri?
A Punjabi suit already has colour and embroidery, so choose earrings first. Jhumkas are the classic match, and a medium size sits well without pulling on the ear through an evening. Add a thin necklace or nothing, and finish with a few bangles on each wrist.
How do I pair jewellery with a phulkari dupatta?
A phulkari dupatta is dense and bright, so it asks for quieter neckwork. Skip a heavy necklace set and choose kundan earrings or chandelier earrings in a gold tone that picks up one thread colour from the embroidery. If the dupatta is mostly pink or orange, white or green stones look fresh. Our guide to jewellery for a kurti, anarkali, sharara or gown has more pairings.
Which jewellery suits Baisakhi celebrations?
Baisakhi is usually a day outdoors at a fair or gurdwara, followed by family meals, so comfort matters. Choose lightweight pieces from the lightweight daily wear collection and a pair of studs or small jhumkas you can wear all day. A sunny day suits gold tones, and a yellow or green outfit looks good with antique gold finishes.
What should I wear for Makar Sankranti?
Makar Sankranti is traditionally linked with black and dark colours in parts of India, and with colourful kites and sweets in others. If your outfit is dark, add warmth with gold-plated jewellery or antique gold jewellery. For a Maharashtrian style look, our Maharashtrian jewellery guide explains the traditional names.
Which bangles work with festive suits?
Bangles are the easiest way to complete a Punjabi look. Choose a set in a colour from your outfit, or stack gold-tone bangles beside coloured ones. Measure your wrist first with our bangle size guide, then browse bangles or bangle sets in sizes 2.4, 2.6 and 2.8. See also how many bangles to wear.
Can I wear a necklace set with a lehenga for these festivals?
Yes, if the lehenga is simple and the evening is a family function. A kundan necklace set or necklace set with matching earrings works, and a lighter option is a piece under Rs 1000. Do not combine a heavy necklace with long chandelier earrings, since the two compete.
