The Passa or the Jhoomer has been a staple with Indian and Pakistani brides all over the world. If not for the wedding, we're a 100% sure you will wear it as a bride at least for one event. This Mughal piece of jewellery is now no more just for muslim brides, it's crossed religious boundaries and has hence become a cultural piece and we love it here at WMG.
Such a versatile piece and so stunning, this one is sure to fire up your bridal outfit in ways like no other. So we put together a few new ways that you can style this piece to perfection at weddings this year. Remember, the more innovative, the better!

When we say elaborate, we mean HUGE. That means, this year, jhoomars are becoming larger and bigger to make them a statement piece. The more layers the better too! Pair it With FlowersPicture Courtesy: Stories by Joseph Radhik
Match them up with flowers in the hair to add the perfect structure. If your passa comes with emeralds, then baby breaths - if it's rubies, then roses, you get the drift? Wear a Small Maangtika and a Big Jhoomar A small maang tika and a big jhoomar can make any look pretty. The attention goes to the jhoomar and the maang tika is a pretty miniature edition of the same design. Wear it as a BroochPicture Courtesy: Sunita Shekhawat Jewellery
Pin it up in the middle of the anarkali or the crop top of your lehenga and wear it as a brooch. The more colourful the better and if it's more intricate, even better! Pair a Matching Maang TikaPicture Courtesy:Rabia Makeup Artist ; Arjuns Tryst with the Camera

Jhoomar earrings, did you say? We love how they can be customised and worn both ways as a passa and as an earring. Wear it like Deepika With Zero FrillsPicture Courtesy: Pinterest
The only reason we loved Deepika in Bajirao Mastani is for her beautiful jewellery and outfits. *Guilty! We love how she wore her jhoomar in a very simple, minimalistic way.

Match them to your earrings to make them look like a million bucks. The more matchy, the better! Lastly, Men Style Jhoomars Men can even also wear jhoomars - only the modern designs on their turban to give their look a contemporary touch. More minimalistic designs can be converted into a kalgi and worn! Double-advantage! How do you want to wear your jhoomar/ passa? Tell us!
