Hi IMBBians!
I am sure you are all ready to rock the parties and weddings this winter. With so many weddings and functions lined up, we all find it difficult to find jewellery to complement the outfits we wear. Plus, for the bride herself it is a daunting task to choose pieces which she can pair up with different clothes, even post marriage. In this post I would like to share some stunning jewellery which all women should own to create a stunning style statement. These ideas would help you mix match your existing jewellery besides investing in some gorgeous ones. Keep reading.
1.Maang Tika
A must have piece in the bridal trousseau, the maang tika adds a touch of classic elegance to any ethnic outfit. Sport it with a low or high bun, mid-rise pony, open curls and watch everyone admire you. In fact, instead of restricting wearing maang tikas to sarees, lehengas or anarkalis, team it up with indo-westerns or shararas to make it a winning investment.
2.Jhumkas
An eternal favorite across the country, jhumkas can never go out of style. A pair of handcrafted jhumkas can be the conversation starter, and if you are the one who plays by the book, jhumkas are your safest bet.
3.Ear Cuffs or Kanphool
Ear cuffs came, saw and conquered. From ruling the international runway to masterpieces crafted by the desi designers, ear cuffs can surely make you the glam diva. With the right kind of makeup and hairstyle, ear cuffs or kanphool will definitely be welcome additions to your jewellery box.
4.Cocktail Rings
Cocktail rings are great for family get togethers, functions and parties and complement diverse outfits from sarees to evening gowns. Cocktail rings set in precious and semi-precious stones are great investments, pieces which you will be definitely be reaching out for again and again.
5. Raanihaar
Originally worn by royal ladies, they impart the opulence and glamour to even not-so great outfits. In fact, not just the bride, it’s a piece most women should own for the unparalleled majestic finish. Take your pick from the amazingly large varieties available across the jewellery stores.
6.Kamarband
Want to draw attention to that hourglass shape of yours? What better way to flaunt those sexy curves than by wearing a stone studded kamarbandh/kamarband? They create a lasting impression when worn with sarees and lehengas, and for the extra oomph, try pairing them with cigarette pants/ dhoti pants too.
7.Haathphool
The traditionally stone set and heavy haathphool has metamorphosed into the modern day intricately crafted hand pieces. While the bride can surely opt for heavier kundan haathphool; the sleek, geometric designs are apt for occasions and ladies of all ages can wear them.
8.Geometric neckpiece
While having a few statement neckpieces is a no-brainer, this list would be incomplete without mentioning about these beauties. They come in a staggering array of designs and colors to choose from, and everyone should own at least one. From a strapless gown to your LBD, the boring kurti to high-necked top, this is something you wouldn’t regret buying ever.
9. Kundan Set
I can vouch for the beauty it lends to any traditional getup. Sophistication and statement combine together in any kundan piece, making it a top choice for the newly wed or for any wedding/ family do.
10.Chandelier Earrings/ Danglers
Trust these gorgeous beauties to take over your look, when you want to create an impression with least effort. You can never have too many, and you can never go wrong with them.
11.Statement Cuff
Ditching the bangles, experiment with the new hand cuffs which are sure to grab eyeballs. The sheer versatility of these charmers will make you want to wear them very often. In fact, western to traditional, a statement cuff if paired wisely can add an edgy dimension to your look.
