Things To Consider While Shopping For Bridal Jewellery

Statistics by the World Gold Council reveal India’s undying appreciation for gold which makes it the second highest gold-consuming nation in the world.  The rounded figure of gold acquisitions in the first half of 2015, in India, hit an astounding total of 150.8 tonnes (World Gold Council, 2015).

 Furthermore, diamonds are no less. The Times of India states that, India is not only the second largest gold consuming country but also one of the largest markets for diamonds. With an 8% share for polished diamonds, India is now the third largest diamond consumer in the world (Time of India, 2015).

 While the evolved Indian’s increasing love for jewellery during occasions is obvious, it’s the wedding that takes the cake. Not donning elegant and marvellous jewels during the big occasion is then considered a sin.

 What also needs to be taken into consideration is the umpteen number of things that need to be ticked off before the wedding commences. Which is why we have  a checklist in place that’ll help you on the jewellery front and make the purchase an easy one. Memorable too.

 Copying is a big NO

 From magazines, websites, or even from best friend’s marriages, brides tend to copy or replicate looks from other brides. What’s more, many a times, they also leave their jewellery shopping to their parents or siblings to complete. The jewellery that a bride wears on her big day should always reflect her personality, and not someone else’s. Every woman has a different body structure, frame complexion and look. Also, a different dress!

 Matching Matching

 When you go out to purchase jewellery, you should aways consider your dress. Wedding jewellery that will be worn with a lengha will be different when compared to a sari. Not only this, the design and pattern for your choli should be kept in mind too. For example, if your choli is filled with heavy detailing and work, your jewellery should be kept simple and elegant. To ensure that your jewellery matches your dress, many jewellery stores in Mumbai and Delhi give you the option to check their catalogues online. Thus, you can ensure your wedding dress and jewellery are a perfect match!

 Quality over Quantity

 With passing time and generations, trends have evolved. The concept of marriage in India is no different. From destination weddings to in-house ceremonies, there are many different styles. Similarly, when it comes to jewellery for the bride, the old is out and the new is in. Gone are the days where brides had to wear heavy traditional jewellery. Now, the new generation bride chooses jewellery that is simple yet extremely elegant. Keeping that in mind, you could buy beautiful and trendy pieces that suit your requirement, instead of buying in bulk. This ensures that your jewellery not only has an heirloom value, but can be worn after the wedding as well. After all, it’s always quality over quantity.

 While you should always keep these tips in mind, you should also remember to buy jewellery from a reputed store. There are many trusted jewellery stores in Delhi, Mumbai and other parts of India like Zoya, from where you can look for different designs and patterns that match you the best. As the saying goes, ‘On your wedding day you should look like yourself at your most beautiful.”
