Bridal jewellery is by far the most opulent and charismatic, making a distinctive style statement. Since bridal jewellery is for keeps, it makes sense to choose jewellery that will not only see you through your golden years but can also serve as a precious heirloom to be passed down from one generation to another.

So choose wisely, and make sure you pick pieces that have appreciative value for investment purposes. Here are some tips to select jewellery.

Tips To Select Bridal Jewellery

Go For Simple, Elegant Yet Versatile Pieces

Jewellery today is more decadent and is available in innumerable creations right from kundan, jadau, diamonds, gold, silver, platinum and navratna. If you are going in for real jewellery on your wedding day, stick to traditional gold jewellery that has value or simple wearable pieces in jadau and kundan that you can wear even later.

Buying humungous, over the top and chunky jewellery that you will never wear again is not prudent. A stunning choker in gold or tastefully done neckpieces in pure kundan will make you look fetching.

Take Time

Never rush into jewellery shopping. Most mothers shop for their daughter’s jewellery over years and this makes a lot of sense. If you plan well in advance you can pick up authentic pieces at affordable rates. If you want to wear something custom-made, take the time to tour several jewellery shops in different places to select the perfect set.

The Budget And Authenticity

Always buy jewellery from a reputed jeweller to avoid being cheated. Ask the jeweller for the credentials of your jewellery especially gold and diamond jewellery which comes in carats. Decide on your budget and the functionality of the jewellery. There is no point in buying 8-10 sets of jewellery if you are not going to wear them ever.

Buy Jewellery That Suits You

Yes, jewellery too is designed to suit your face, skin tone and complexion. Don’t blindly ape models in fashion magazines. If you have a small, heart shaped face buying large chunky jewellery will just make you look loud and over powering. There is a certain charm in elegant, small and understates pieces of jewellery.

Pick up jewellery that you can wear with most outfits’ whether it is a saree or a suit. Choose earrings carefully. Large earrings can either work by enhancing your facial features or work against them, so choose wisely. If you are top heavy and have a double chin avoid chokers and thick neck pieces that attract attention to your neck.

Buy The Jewellery First

Since jewellery will be more expensive than your wedding lehenga or sari, buy the jewellery first and then match your lehenga with it. Buying your outfit and then not having jewellery to match it will be a complete waste of time. Go for pieces that are timeless and classic.

Include Variety

Don’t just go in for gold or diamond pieces. Add a piece or two of uncut diamonds, jadau and kundan. Your trousseau should include some traditional and western pieces of jewellery too. Do include studs, solitaires, chokers and pendants in your collection. Jewellery need not just be a collectible but should also be wearable.

Buy a tastefully designed theva set from rajasthan that is not too over the top. Tikkas can also be converted to pendants and vice versa. Diamonds are a girl’s best friends and can be worn on any and every occasion so do include at least one light diamond set. Do invest in at least one mangalsutra, mang tikka and nath to wear for religious and family ceremonies.
