Alia Bhatt, Deepika Padukone and more swear by this jewellery trend

If you’re looking for a single piece of accessory to upgrade your entire ethnic wardrobe, an elegant pair of chaandbalis is your best bet. The earrings can round off almost any Indian ensemble, and rarely need any other piece of jewellery to accompany them. While gold styles are certainly the most coveted, rose gold chaandbalis and options with coloured detailing have also become more popular in recent years—allowing for even more versatility with their sartorial pairings. Whether you prefer a minimal number or a shoulder-sweeping masterpiece, there are multiple variants to take your pick from.

Alia Bhatt, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Deepika Padukone prove that chaandbalis are a must-have accessory

According to Bollywood’s reigning celebrities, a festive outfit is incomplete without this accessory—remember the chaandbalis Deepika Padukone wore with her peach Sabyasachi anarkali, or the ones Alia Bhatt styled with her red sari for Kalank promotions? Anushka Sharma and Katrina Kaif are known fans of the style of earrings too. Chandbaalis have gained popularity among the younger crop of celebrities as well, with both Sara Ali Khan, who accessorised her black lehenga with statement silver chaandbalis, and Janhvi Kapoor, who elevated her purple kurta set with a matching pair during Dhadak promotions. Scroll ahead to take a closer peek at how your favourite celebrities are wearing chaandbalis.
