From timeless jhumkas to modern chokers, each jewelry type tells a story—one that aligns with your mood, your event, and your personal style. Read on to discover which styles you might already own, and which ones to add next from Zumrid Jewels’ stunning selection.

1. Jhumkas – A Desi Classic That Never Fades

Jhumkas are one of the most iconic types of artificial jewelry in South Asia. Their bell-shaped design exudes elegance and tradition, making them a staple for shaadi season. They come in endless variations: from gold-plated jhumkas adorned with pearls, to oxidized silver ones perfect for casual wear.

These earrings pair beautifully with kurtas, lehengas, and even Western fusion outfits. Every Pakistani woman should own at least one pair that matches both ethnic and semi-formal looks. At Zumrid Jewels, we offer jhumkas that blend Indian heritage with a contemporary touch, so you can wear them from day weddings to evening daawats.

2. Statement Necklaces – The Centerpiece of Every Look

A statement necklace can instantly elevate even the simplest outfit. Whether it's a chunky kundan choker, an American diamond collar, or a layered polki piece, these necklaces draw attention and define your neckline. Among the most loved types of artificial jewelry, statement neckpieces are a go-to for bridesmaids, influencers, and fashionistas alike.

Our favorites at Zumrid Jewels include multi-strand pearl chokers, mirror-worked boho pieces, and gemstone-studded bridal necklaces. Pair with a strapless outfit or a deep neckline for maximum effect. Don’t forget to match your earrings and bangles for a cohesive vibe!

3. Artificial Rings – Add a Touch of Glam to Every Gesture

Rings are perhaps the easiest types of artificial jewelry to mix and match. Whether it’s a minimal rose gold band or a large kundan cocktail ring, this accessory adds personality to your hands. They’re ideal for formal events, office wear, or festive occasions when you want just a hint of sparkle.

At Zumrid Jewels, we carry both stackable ring sets and singular bold statement pieces. Many Pakistani women love pairing rings with mehndi designs, making them essential for wedding functions. Choose adjustable ones for comfort or wear multiple rings for that modern glam look.

4. Bangles & Bracelets – Grace for Your Wrists

Bangles have been worn in Pakistani culture for generations, symbolizing femininity and elegance. From glass bangles to intricately designed artificial gold bangles, this jewelry type is a must-have for both daily wear and special occasions. Modern women also love wearing artificial bracelets with Western outfits for a chic fusion touch.

Whether you prefer a complete bangle set for your bridal attire or a sleek bracelet for your office outfit, Zumrid Jewels has styles to match your need. Explore designs in zircon, pearls, meenakari, or matte gold to build your collection.

5. Pendant Sets – Subtle Yet Stylish

Pendant sets are one of the most versatile types of artificial jewelry. They usually include a matching necklace and earrings, making styling effortless. Great for college, work, and casual dinners, these sets add sophistication without being too loud.

Zumrid Jewels carries a curated range of elegant pendant sets—from delicate florals to bold geometric shapes. They're easy to layer and perfect for gifting as well. You can pair them with both ethnic and modern outfits, making them a wardrobe essential.

6. Maang Tikkas – Traditional Elegance for Weddings

Maang tikkas are the highlight of bridal and festive looks in Pakistani weddings. They sit gracefully on the forehead, completing a royal and timeless appearance. Available in styles like kundan, polki, and pearls, this jewelry type is ideal for mehndi, baraat, or walima ceremonies.

At Zumrid Jewels, we offer lightweight maang tikkas that suit both brides and bridesmaids. Some even come in detachable sets with matching earrings, making them an excellent value for festive shopping.

7. Nose Rings & Nath – Embrace Cultural Charm

Nose rings, or “nath,” are symbolic and stylish. This type of artificial jewelry has seen a modern revival, with women flaunting it at weddings, photoshoots, and fashion shows. Whether you're into the minimalist hoop or the heavy bridal nath, it’s a striking addition to any traditional outfit.

Zumrid Jewels stocks comfortable clip-on naths for non-pierced noses, so every woman can enjoy this look with ease. They’re especially trending in bridal and pre-wedding styling sessions.

8. Anklets – For a Touch of Playfulness

Anklets, or “payal,” are delicate and often underrated pieces that can complete a festive or casual look. These are especially popular during Eid, henna nights, or sangeet functions. Whether they jingle or stay subtle, anklets add a charming detail to your footwear.

Zumrid Jewels offers anklets in silver finish, pearls, and ghungroo styles to match all types of artificial jewelry sets. They pair wonderfully with sandals, heels, and even barefoot beach looks.

9. Hair Accessories – Add Sparkle from Head to Toe

From matha pattis to embellished hairpins and hairbands, artificial jewelry isn’t limited to ears, necks, or hands. Hair accessories have become a big trend in Pakistani weddings and fashion events. They add drama, grace, and individuality to every hairstyle.

Zumrid Jewels features hair accessories that match bridal sets or work as standalone pieces for nikkah, bridal showers, or formal events. They're a fantastic way to highlight your hairstyle without wearing heavy jewelry elsewhere.

10. Waist Belts (Kamarbandh) – For Bridal & Formal Statement Looks

Waist belts, or kamarbandh, are bold and beautiful. They define your waist and give a regal look to sarees, lehengas, or maxi dresses. Popular among brides and fashion-forward influencers, they’re a unique type of artificial jewelry that commands attention.

Zumrid Jewels' kamarbandh collection includes pearl-studded, stone-encrusted, and gold-toned designs. These accessories are a great way to add structure to flowy outfits and elevate your fashion game instantly.
