Bridal Jewellery Shopping List
Gold can be very expensive if you buy gold jewellery just a few days before the wedding. You should start now so that you get time to get your choicest jewellery and also can buy gold and diamond jewellery in discounts.

Jewellery First, Outfit Later

There is still confusion between what comes first, whether it’s your wedding dress or your wedding jewellery. We suggest that your jewellery should come first because more often than your wedding dress which may be a bright coloured sari or a zardozi embellished royal lehenga, you will wear your jewellery in different occasion. You should focus on purchasing fine jewellery pieces that will suit with lehenga, sari or other traditional dress than only your heavy wedding dress.


Buy Classic Jewellery Pieces

Whatever you buy in your wedding will be a part of your wedding jewellery that you will use lifetime. So you must buy some versatile pieces of jewellery that you can pair with saris and dresses that you will opt for many weddings to follow. You can include cocktail rings, gold kada, statement earrings in diamond in your trousseau. These days there are jewellers who create earrings, sets that are detachable or provide customers with coloured stones that you can reuse for the same jewellery set so that you can use it multiple times in multiple ways.


Maintain the Balance Act

Balancing is a great act when it comes to jewellery shopping for your wedding.

Same also goes for the stones, if you love red then don’t buy ruby or red coloured stone jewellery only, get some green emerald studded jewellery pieces as well.


Watch It

Watch for bride

And last but not the least you must get an antique yet classy kind of watch that would surpass the look of a contemporary bride. Your statement watch would not only make you look like a mommy’s girl in love with the traditional style of mom but also a modern girl with the taste of contemporary designer style accessories.

Don’t look at Haryana the way Bollywood wants you to view it. It’s much more than what their limited understanding of this state’s rich culture permits. The cows, the hookahs and the khaats definitely form the indispensable element of a traditional Haryanvi household. But that’s not about it.

The sacred Vedas were written here, it is the birthplace of the Universe, Lord Krishna narrated the sermons of Bhagwad Gita here and the great saint Ved Vyas wrote the Mahabharata in Sanskrit. A state with such a glorious past cannot be conversed in the 70mm of cinema. You need to have a special vision to behold its beauty. Talk about jewellery, in this domain too Haryana does not cease to overwhelm you. While the rich and affluent bejewel themselves in gold fineries , silver still remains the ornamental choice for many. Check out what the state’s treasure trove holds for you. Just lik...

There is a culturally rich clan of Tulunadus living in Mangalore who are distinction in every way. Their rituals, their language and their lifestyle reflect the uniqueness of their culture. But still, its jewellery heritage is something that connects it to the whole of India.   Just like other cultures of India, Tulu women too are bejewelled from head to toe. From armlets, bracelets, bangles, necklaces and earrings to finger rings, toe rings, nose rings, anklets, pendants and waistbands, their trinket box is replete with jewels .
