For Diwali, antique jewellery with Lakshmi, kasu (coin) and peacock motifs is the most loved choice, because it suits Lakshmi pooja and looks festive in every photo. Here are six easy looks, from pooja morning to the evening party, using sets you can wear again all wedding season. All are from She Creation, Mysore, with festive sets under ₹1000.
1. Lakshmi pooja: the kasu coin necklace
Coin necklaces stand for prosperity, which makes them the classic pick for Lakshmi pooja. Pair a kasu choker with a silk saree and small jhumkas.

2. Traditional family gathering: a long Lakshmi haram
For a day with family, a long haram with a Lakshmi pendant looks rich without needing a choker. Keep the earrings in the same design.

3. Evening party: peacock and coral
Peacock pendants with coral or emerald drops catch the light from diyas beautifully. A short necklace works well with lehengas and half sarees.

4. Easy all-day wear: a pearl mala pendant set
If you are cooking, hosting and visiting all day, choose something light. A pearl mala with a kemp pendant looks festive and stays comfortable.

5. Statement look: the temple bridal haram
Diwali is also when the wedding season begins. A bridal-style long haram does double duty for the festival and the weddings that follow. See all antique harams.
6. Gifting: sets under ₹1000
Antique jewellery is a thoughtful Diwali gift for sisters, friends and colleagues. Our under ₹1000 collection has pendant sets and earrings that come ready to gift.
Styling example from our Mysore team
One set, two Diwali looks: wear the Kasu Coin Choker AN494 (₹980) with a mustard or maroon silk saree for the Lakshmi pooja in the morning. In the evening, keep the same earrings and switch to the Twin Peacock Coral Necklace AN492 with a lehenga or half saree for the party. Both have warm red tones, so the earrings work with each.
Quick styling tips for Diwali
- Choose ruby kemp for red, maroon and yellow sarees; emerald stones for pink and purple.
- Keep one statement piece. With a heavy necklace, go lighter on earrings.
- Stay safe around diyas and crackers: tuck long harams in while lighting lamps.
- Put jewellery on after perfume and wipe it with a soft cloth before storing.
