Statement Accessories for Cocktail Parties: Necklaces & Clutches

Because a great party starts with a bold accessory pairing.

The aroma of jasmine and petrichor pervades the atmosphere. You’ve RSVP’d “yes” to your best friend’s cocktail night and already know the saree you’ll wear. But what about the finishing touches—the statement pieces that truly make you unforgettable under fairy lights or rain-speckled rooftops?

Monsoon cocktail parties in India have a certain magic: the laughter, the shimmer of damp pavements, the drama of eye-catching accessories. If you're wondering how to style your party look without going overboard, here’s a simple tip—build your outfit around one bold necklace and one unforgettable clutch. That’s where Rubans steps in.

Let’s explore four perfect pairings of party necklaces and evening sling bags that are sure to steal the spotlight at any soirée.

1. The Royal Affair: Kundan Statement Necklace + Embroidered Box Clutch

For those who like their style with a dose of regal drama, Rubans' Kundan statement necklace layered with pearls and faux emeralds creates an old-world charm perfect for velvet gowns or Banarasi cocktail sarees. This piece doesn’t whisper luxury—it sings it.

Pair it with Rubans’ gold-thread embroidered box clutch, a sturdy and compact evening sling bag that feels as rich as your jewellery. Designed with sequin and zari motifs, this clutch can easily double as your plus-one at any festive or wedding function.

• Why it works: Kundan adds volume near the neckline, so your bag should balance it with structure. The stiff silhouette of the clutch ensures your look is bold but balanced.

2. The Monsoon Spark: American Diamond Collar Necklace + Metallic Sling Bag

There's something irresistible about a collar necklace studded with American Diamonds—especially when paired with monsoon pastels and shimmer silks. Rubans' diamond-look necklace sparkles like city lights reflecting in puddles, making it perfect for open-terrace parties or rooftop dinners.

To match that sparkle, go for Rubans’ metallic evening sling bag in rose gold or icy silver. With enough space for your phone, lipstick, and umbrella-folded tissues, this one’s both fashion and function.

• Why it works: The shimmer-on-shimmer duo works for nighttime glamour, while the clean lines of the sling offset the boldness of the necklace.
  • Style Tip: Wear your hair in a sleek low ponytail and let the collar speak volumes.

3. The Wild Card: Geometric Pendant Necklace + Tassel Sling Bag

If you’re the kind of party guest who ditches florals for edgier fits, this one’s your vibe. Rubans’ geometric statement necklace—with its bold pendant, sharp lines, and gold plated finish—is a great way to add artistic flair to your all-black dress or Indo-western co-ord set.

Match it with a tassel-detailed sling bag in deep jewel tones like emerald green or midnight blue. These fun, flirty bags bring movement and texture, especially when you’re dancing under fairy lights with your gang.

• Why it works: The geometry grounds your look, while tassels add playful movement—resulting in an outfit that feels fashion-forward yet rooted in Indian sensibility.
  • Style Tip: This pairing is a monsoon must for Gen Z and millennials who want to blend modernity with a hint of festive nostalgia.

4. The Romantic Muse: Pearl Drop Necklace + Beaded Potli Sling

Sometimes, all you need is softness. Rubans’ gold plated pearl drop necklace with a floral centrepiece brings a quiet kind of glamour—perfect for garden parties, bridal showers or pre-wedding evenings drenched in romance.

Balance this elegance with a hand-beaded potli sling, embroidered with sequins and pearls to mirror the necklace. The pastel base and intricate beading make it a dreamy combination for chiffon sarees or ruffle-layered Indo-western dresses.

• Why it works: Both elements have traditional roots—pearl jewellery and potli bags—but the refined details and soft palette make them modern.
  • Style Tip: Add dainty earrings or a maang tikka if you want to elevate the look further for wedding functions.
