Get Deepika Padukone's Jhumka Look — Recreate the Style with Abdesigns
If there is one actress who understands the power of a great pair of jhumkas, it is Deepika Padukone. From her early films to her most recent red carpet appearances, Deepika has consistently chosen large, statement jhumkas — Kundan, gold, antique, chandbali — that frame her face beautifully and photograph magnificently.
The good news: you do not need Deepika's jeweller or Deepika's budget to get the look. Here is how to recreate her most iconic ethnic jewellery styles with Abdesigns.
Look 1: The Classic Kundan Chandbali
Deepika's most replicated look — a large Kundan-set Chandbali earring in gold with coloured stone work. She has worn this style at film promotions, awards nights and family functions alike. The crescent shape frames her face in a way that the camera loves.
The Deepika formula: Large Chandbali (3–4 inches), Kundan or Polki stone setting, gold base, hair pinned back to show the earring fully.
Get the look at Abdesigns: Our Kundan Chandbali collection offers multiple sizes and stone colours — from classic white and gold to rich ruby red. All handcrafted, nickel-free and skin-friendly.

Look 2: The Statement Jhumka for Ethnic Days
For casual ethnic appearances — kurta days, airport looks, family functions — Deepika often chooses large antique gold or oxidised jhumkas. Simple dome top, hanging bell, rich finish. The earring that does all the work without requiring an elaborate outfit.
The Deepika formula: Large dome jhumka in antique or oxidised finish, worn with a plain or lightly embroidered kurta, hair tied back.

Look 3: The Minimal Daily Jewellery
Off-duty Deepika is known for minimalist daily jewellery — small gold studs or tiny jhumka earrings that add a traditional touch without making a statement. The daily-wear jewellery philosophy: one beautiful, considered piece worn well.
The Deepika formula: Small gold stud or mini jhumka under 2cm, no necklace, no bangles. Clean, polished, effortless.

Look 4: The Bridal Kundan Set
Deepika's bridal jewellery for her wedding to Ranveer Singh was a masterclass in traditional Indian bridal styling. Heavy Kundan necklace, matched earrings, maang tikka — complete, cohesive, magnificent. Every bride in India studied that look.
The Deepika bridal formula: Complete Kundan set in warm gold, white and red stone work, hair styled up to show the tikka and earrings. The necklace is the statement — everything else supports it.
Get the look at Abdesigns: Our complete Kundan bridal sets include matched necklace + earrings + maang tikka from ₹1,299.

The Deepika Jewellery Rules — Apply to Your Own Look
- Hair up with heavy earrings: Deepika almost always wears her hair pinned back when wearing statement jhumkas or chandbali. The earring needs space to be seen.
- One hero piece: If the earrings are large, the necklace is minimal. If the necklace is elaborate, the earrings are simple. She never overdoes it.
- Warm gold for traditional: For ethnic and traditional occasions, Deepika consistently chooses warm gold over silver. Gold suits her skin tone — and most Indian skin tones — magnificently.
- Skin-friendly is non-negotiable: Long shoot days and long event days require jewellery that does not irritate. Always choose nickel-free pieces.
