Diamonds are forever€¦€¦well, we mostly associate this phrase with the scrumptious James Bond, and it's pretty much true, with a little bit of loving care. And it goes without saying that a Diamond is a girl's best friend. What better way to adorn yourself on your wedding day€¦..with a friend that lasts forever!!!!
It's your wedding day€¦€¦ the hours of planning, worrying, crying, laughing€¦..it's all coming together now. You've got your outfit planned and now for the best part - selecting your jewelry. There must be diamonds of course!!! Plenty of them, to add glitter to your glow on this fabulous day.
You're the bride!!!! There's no such thing as too much, today, it's all about you!!
So, there's tons to choose from€¦€¦let's start with the obvious.
India, with its diverse culture has a vast variety of Bridal Jewelry, traditional to different regions. But some things are constant across the board.
The Bridal set: This would consist of a necklace and earrings in matching designs and may have a Ring and Maang Tikka. The eye catcher would be the Necklace of course and its style could vary to cater to every style.
If you love traditional styles you could go for a Kundan necklace with polki diamonds dressed up with rubies or emeralds.
If you like something more delicate you could choose a filigreed necklace in the Jaali style draped around your neck.
Or a how about a choker diamond necklace with a fabulous pendant ensemble of pave, prong and channel set diamonds with a princess cut diamond center and a brilliant diamond teardrop. To spice this up you could replace the princess cut diamond and diamond teardrop with rubies, emeralds, or your choice of precious stones.
Of course there's the good old Haar or long necklace. This comes in various styles varying from many strings of varying lengths to one long elegantly designed chain in a pretty floral design studded with diamonds.
The Earrings would of course match your necklace, and there's nothing like a beautiful Jhumka design to match your traditional Kundan necklace or lovely diamond danglers down to your shoulders to match your filigreed confection.
If your set doesn't include a ring, how about the Haath Phool that links a delicate bracelet to a wondrous ring traditionally in the shape of a flower.
The Maang Tikka to match your style could be a Jhoomar at the end of the traditional single strand down your middle parting, awaiting your groom's Sindhoor, or it could be a delicate and dainty diamond design, and then to complete it all adorn your upper arm with an Armlet to match.
Your Nose Ring could be the traditional Nath with a chain connecting to your earring, or a brilliant Diamond stud.
Let's not forget to add the delicate Anklet and Toe Rings that no Bride would go without.
