Alia Sonam Sobhita make the ear chain the ultimate festive accessory

Thanks to Bollywood’s celebrities, this humble-but-gorgeous accessory, ear chains, is officially making a comeback.

In bygone days ear chain (that delicate little connector from earring to your hair) was something one saw on aunties at a wedding or in a classic dance performance.

When festivity is in the air and Karwa Chauth celebrations coming up, some inspiration from actors
Thanks to Bollywood’s celebrities, this humble-but-gorgeous accessory officially returns.

Alia Bhatt, Sonam A Kapoor, and Sobhita Dhulipala ditch the basic studs and turn the ear chain into the ultimate statement piece.

Jewellery designer Eina Ahluwalia shares, “Ear chains work in two ways. One is how celebrities have styled them and the other when they help support the earring’s weight — both ornamental and functional.
She goes on to add that earlier, ear chains were hooked onto buns or styled with open hairdos. Though not very functional, they add old-world charm and a feminine touch.
Stylist Vikram Seth has the tea on how to rock this regal trend without going overboard for your next celebration.

The ear chain is the star, tongive room to shine! Pair it with outfits that have clean necklines—think sleek blouses or timeless sarees. No cluttered neck zone. For hair, pull it back into a sleek bun or let it fall in soft waves; this keeps the focus squarely on the jewellery.

Echoing this modern, minimal approach, stylist Isha Bhansali shares, “A lot of credit for the return of this trend goes to OTT series like Heeramandi; it’s an evergreen trend, especially during the festive season.” She also adds, “Ensure the earrings are not chunky. Go for a minimal look.

Historically, gone ‘all out,’ but the modern approach is to keep the neck bare. You can take inspiration from examples like Isha Ambani, recently wore a similar style with diamonds.
