Jhumkas remain a fashion choice that lasts through time, but they definitely evolve over time as per latest trends. This year's hot trend is oxidised silver jhumka, along with pearl jhumki or Kundan earrings. If you want to buy some accessories, this is the time to check out the best designs for jhumka jewellery, since the latest offers the biggest possibilities for jhumka lovers.

Why Jhumkas Are Still Everyone's Favourite Earring

There seems to be an inherent quality in the design of a jhumka, the tiny dome-shaped piece that swings back and forth as you move around, that makes it go with everything Indian. From saree to lehenga to even the simplest kurta worn on a Friday evening. There aren't many pieces of jewelry that can pass off as being traditional and trendy at the same time, and that explains why this piece never really goes out of fashion.

If you can only get one pair of jhumka this season, then I suggest that you go with the Kundan variety; after all, that is the classic design which does not get outdated easily. This particular variety comes with pearl work alongside Kundan work.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What jhumkas are trending now?

This is currently the case: oxidized silver jhumkas with nature-inspired designs such as those of peacocks and birds are on the trend, together with Kundan pearl jhumkas which can be worn during festivities, as well as jhumkas which have mirrors beadings to give that boho touch. Another type which is currently on the trend is dome-shaped minimal jhumkas for every day wear.

2. Are oxidised jhumkas in fashion?

Absolutely! The oxidized versions of the jhumka are back in fashion in a big way due to their ability to match both traditional and fusion wear, be it a cotton saree, kurta, jeans or kurti. It's because of the vintage feel given by the oxidized finish that they are quite different from gold or Kundan jhumkas, making them more versatile.

3. Which jhumkas are best for festive wear?

If there is any celebration coming up, then Kundan jhumka and antique gold jhumka designs inspired by temples are the best bets one can go in for. They make good photographs, blend in well with the silk sarees or lehengas and also have the traditional richness that a festive outfit would demand. For bigger celebrations, such as weddings and sangeets, one can opt for a multilayer jhumka design.

Sway, Shine, Repeat!

There's a reason your grandmother's jhumkas still get compliments decades later, a good jhumka was never really about trends, it was about that little swing and catch of light every time you turn your head. The oxidised ones, the Kundan ones, the loud multi-layer ones for weddings. Pick the one that makes you want an excuse to toss your hair back and show it off.

You don't need a jhumka for every outfit in your closet. You need two or three that you'll actually reach for, one quiet enough for a Tuesday, one dramatic enough for the wedding season. Everything else is just a bonus.
