Indian Bridal Jewelry |
|
For the quintessential Indian bride, the perfect Indian bridal
jewelry enhances her looks as much as her make-up does. Her
beauty as the blushing bride is amplified not only by the kohl
around her eyes and the different hues on her eyelids but also
by the eye-catching Indian bridal jewelry that adorns her entire
person, from head to toe.
Although much of the Indian bridal jewelry an Indian bride could
wear is dependent on the size of her budget, she usually sees to
it that she is bedecked with the most lavish ones that she could
lay her hands on. This is actually part of her presenting
herself not only to her husband but also to the public. Because
of this, an Indian bride would want her Indian bridal jewelry
custom-designed.
An Indian bride would have her Indian bridal jewelry made, based
on her wedding trousseau, especially on its dominant colors. The
type of precious metals and stones that will be used in making
the jewelry should blend with the colors of her wardrobe.
Indian bridal jewelry is not just one piece of jewelry worn by
the Indian bride. It is made up of different pieces that
complements and blends with each other to create that perfect
look of an Indian bride. The Maangtika, the nose ring, the
earrings, the bangles, the necklace, the anklets and toe rings
make up the entirety of the complete Indian bridal jewelry.
The Maangtika is the most traditional and most essential part of
the Indian bridal jewelry. Apart from the necklace, the
Maangtika is the most noticeable piece of the Indian bridal
jewelry adorned on an Indian bride. It is worn on the bride'
head and is designed to be unique for each bride. While its
color and design largely depend on the colors of the bride's
outfit, it is usually made of precious stones like pearls and
diamonds. It has a centerpiece that is exquisitely designed and
sits on bride's forehead and is usually attached by a string
that runs to the back of the bride's head.
Another essential part of the Indian bridal jewelry is the
necklace. This piece is usually very eye-catching with a design
that is in tune with the other pieces of Indian bridal jewelry
adorned on the rest of the bride's body. The design of the
necklace would also have to complement the neckline of the
bride's wedding attire. Most of the common types of necklaces
worn as part of the Indian bridal jewelry are the chokers and
the long necklaces with elaborate designs and bedecked with
precious stones that goes with the bridal colors. Chokers are
worn over dresses with high necklines while the long necklaces
complement those wedding dresses that have deep necklines.
An Indian bridal jewelry ensemble will not be complete without
the traditional nose ring. This is as much a part of the Indian
bridal jewelry as the Maangtika and is usually almost of the
same design and color as the earrings. The traditional nose ring
is called the “nath” and is made up of a ring worn at the nose
that is studded with precious gems and has a long chain whether
in gold or silver, that is attached to the hair of the bride.
The rest of the pieces that go with the entire Indian bridal
jewelry are as just as important. They are all needed to
complete the look of the perfect Indian bride.
