Indian Bridal Jewelry From Head To
Toe |
|
Girls just love weddings. They consider it as one of the most
important days of their lives. Some of them even start thinking
about their dream weddings when they are old enough to know what
a wedding is all about. Among the girls all over the world, it
must be the Indian girls who love to associate Indian bridal
jewelry with their wedding daydreams. This is because in India,
the jewelry is an essential part of any woman's wedding day. The
Indian tradition calls for brides to be decked with Indian
bridal jewelry from head to toe. All the pieces of jewelry would
have to complement each other as well as the outfit that the
Indian bride is wearing.
Indian bridal jewelry does not have to mean the ones that are
worn during the wedding day only but also on the engagement
party that an Indian bride-to-be might be having before her big
day. The Indian bridal jewelry would have to include earrings,
nose rings, necklaces, bracelets or bangles as well as anklets
and other possible adornments of the body that could be made
with precious stones. These jewelries could be made of the most
precious gems like diamonds, rubies, sapphires and emeralds
among others, set in gold, silver or platinum. Whatever the type
of Indian bridal jewelry, brides would want them to fit the
colors of the outfit that she will be wearing on both her
engagement and her wedding day.
It is expected though that the Indian bridal jewelry that will
be worn on a bride-to-be's engagement party would be different
than the ones that will adorn her body on her wedding day.
During the engagement party, the jewelry would have to be less
heavy and simpler in design. It is not uncommon for Indian
brides to have their Indian bridal jewelry for both their
engagement and wedding dates to be designed specifically for
them. This is especially true for those who are rich and
extravagant in their tastes of jewelry.
They would have different sets of Indian bridal jewelry for both
occasions custom-designed preferably by known jewelry designers.
For the engagement, it is accepted that the bride-to-be will
wear just a one piece of jewelry like an elaborately designed
necklace embedded with precious stones. In other times though
this piece of Indian bridal jewelry would be complemented with
earrings that are simply designed but is equally opulent in
terms of the appliquéd stones as well as with a bracelet of the
same design or precious stone embellishments.
On the wedding date itself, the bride would wear the heavy
Indian bridal jewelry that she had made. These Indian bridal
jewelry generally consists of the Maangtika or that piece of
Indian bridal jewelry that most if not all Indian brides wear on
their heads, the necklace, the nose ring, the earrings, the
waistband, the anklets and the rings for the toes as well as the
bangles worn on the arm.
The Maangtika is generally designed for the bride herself and
will go well with the other jewelry that will adorn her body.
The other pieces of jewelry that make the entire Indian bridal
jewelry are designed according to the colors of the wedding
trousseau. While it is okay to be understated when it comes to
the colors of the precious gems embedded in the Indian bridal
jewelry, Indian brides most often than not go for eye-catching
pieces that are bold in colors. For the Indian bride, the most
opulent the Indian bridal jewelry is, the better.
