Traditional jewelry with peacock and floral motifs, especially lotuses and jasmine, can brighten up your outfit for the festival. While these options are usually found in gold, you can look for cheaper variants in local markets. Look out for lightweight and contemporary designs with gold filigree work. - Gold jewelry with pearls
