How to Choose the Perfect Diamond Jewellery for Your Wedding

So, the date for your wedding has finally been announced. Congratulations, but you still have to choose the right diamond jewellery for the big day. If you still haven’t visited a diamond jewellery store in Mumbai, you must change that. Here are tips on how to choose the perfect diamond jewellery for your wedding:

 

Array of options

 

It’s your special day, and you want to wear jewellery that is all about our rich heritage and culture. You can choose from diamond jewellery sets that draw inspiration from rich natural motifs – a floral theme for instance. You could choose a set that speaks of the rich Banarsi tradition or the royal Rajasthani tradition.

 

You can choose sets that are a fine blend of both contemporary and ancient motifs, ideal for the modern Indian woman. The diamonds are often interspersed with other gems or stones like pearls, rubies etc. There are diamond jewellery sets that speak of the aristocracy and the British Victorian era.

 

Choose jewellery pieces that have a regal touch to them, and can be passed on from one generation to another as heirloom sets.

 

Points to consider

 

• If you are buying a statement necklace of glittering diamonds, make sure you keep the rest of the jewellery muted so attention is drawn towards the statement piece. So, make your earrings smaller.

 

• Buy several lighter, smaller pieces of jewellery, like a pair of diamond studs, a bracelet studded with diamonds etc for other occasions. Visit a diamond jewellery store in Mumbai and pick smaller pieces that you can wear on the evening before the wedding or other events around your wedding.

 

• Keep the dress, fabric of dress, colour etc in mind. The embroidery or patterns of your neckline should not clash with the jewellery or the colour. Diamond jewellery goes well with both Indian and western dresses, so they are versatile in that sense.

 

• When you choose a piece of diamond jewellery such as a pair of studs or long earrings, make sure it goes well with the shape of your face. If you have a wide face or a big/broad jaw line, a pair of studs will only make your face look bigger. Instead, you should wear long earrings that offset the width of your face.

 

• Ensure your earrings go well with your hairstyle. If you wear a knot or a bun, you could choose long, but not too long earrings. If you keep your hair open or down, you can opt for long sets.

 

• When you opt for diamond sets, also keep in mind what metal it is set in. You could pair diamonds with a pinkish gold or a yellowish one, depending on the style of your dress, your make-up, complexion etc. There is whitish gold and platinum as well, so choose between these settings for your diamond.

 

Also, the perfect diamonds are those that meet the best standards of clarity, cut, colour and carat (weight), popularly known as the four Cs. Now, what are you waiting for? Go ahead, and get your diamonds ready for the big day! Time to rise and shine.
