Let’s Bring Some Wedding Magic To Life, Your Perfect Gift To Make Those Memories Last Forever

When it comes to beautiful jewellery, Links London is one of my favourite brands, for their unique designs, dedication to craftsmanship and commitment to using the finest materials, and when I laid my eyes on their new wedding collections, I fell in love, and truthfully, the pieces took me back to my own special day as well.

Effervescence Sterling Silver Blue Diamond Cuff

Effervescence Sterling Silver & Blue Diamond Stud Earrings

Essentials Sterling Silver Beaded Chain 80cm

Your wedding is one of the most important moments in your life – not only because of the beautiful union that marriage entails, but also, because of the people who are present in the moment. The happiness that you feel in celebrating your special day with loved ones is incomparable, and the memories last forever. For a bride, the ladies by her side – her bridesmaids on the big day – are some of the most important people at the wedding. And what better way to remind them of your love and appreciation for them, than with a gift that will always be associated with the memories of the wedding? And that’s where Links London comes into play.

Their wedding series features gorgeous pieces of jewellery that would make the perfect bridesmaid gift (or if you’re a bridesmaid, the perfect bridal gift!). In the run-up to wedding season, I decided to bring some wedding magic to life and choose three of my favourite pieces from the collection to style into a chic bridesmaid look.

The first pieces that caught my eye were the Sterling Silver and Blue Diamond Stud Earrings. I loved these for their subtle sophistication – the hint of the blue and O-shaped style of the earrings makes them different from classic studs and allows them to be dressy enough to wear at a formal event like a wedding. And after the wedding is over, you can continue to wear them out and about – whether it’s for a brunch date with your girlfriends (to catch up on wedding details!), or even, to work. I chose to pair the earrings with Hope necklace in silver – another simple piece that complements a wedding ensemble in an elegant way.

Finally, for some arm candy, I chose the Diamond Cuff in silver. I loved the open style of this cuff and the fact that you can wear it on its own, or layer it with other bracelets or your watch. Either way, it looks beautiful on the wrist and is very comfortable to wear.

Of course, when you have jewellery this beautiful, you must wear the pieces with an outfit that is equally gorgeous. For this bridesmaid look, I wore a lovely floor-length dress. The jewellery pieces pulled the entire look together, creating the perfect bridesmaid ensemble – simple, sophisticated and subtle. This outfit took me back to happy, fun-filled memories of some of my best friends’ weddings and now, I am eager for a wedding to come up so that I can recreate this look again!

The Links London wedding series features many more products, including the Narrative Cuff, which can be engraved, the Sweetie collection, where you can add charms to the pieces and the Splendour collection which features beautiful jewellery pieces a four-point star motif. Whether you’re looking to gift something special to a bride-to-be or to your favourite ladies who are going to be your bridesmaids, you don’t need to look any further than Links London for the perfect piece of jewellery that will capture memories to last a lifetime.

Lehenga Styling for Pre-Wedding Rituals

A wedding is a plush affair in India and it is celebrated on a grandiose scale. Every bride to be is very eager to pick out her outfits, be it a wedding lehenga, cocktail dress or reception saree. The colour of the outfits, the matching jewellery, the contrast with the wedding décor are all the things that run in a bride’s mind before the big day. And it is obvious because it’s her special day and she wants to look nothing short of perfect for the groom and the camera.

Indian weddings are a grand affair. They are always celebrated with a lot of colours, themes, rituals and functions before the big day. Starting from the functions like Mehendi or sangeet to the main event a bride has to pick multiple outfits which make her look her best for all the events. Before finalizing on any of outfits a bride needs to do some market research.

Make sure to check out the local stores, online shops and the runaway designer style to check out the latest trends before picking out your outfit.

If you are getting hitched sometime soon and on a hunt for a stunning outfit for your pre-wedding rituals, then check out this monotone lehenga styled by me. A bridal lehenga is incomplete without some detailed handwork and embroidery.

I have styled this flared lehenga with embroidery work from Priti Sahni. The lehenga is a bold deep purple shade. If you are a bride who wants to break the stereotype and move away from the typical reds and pinks, then this colour is your pick. For brides who love to experiment this deep purple colour is very sultry and makes for a sophisticated look for any evening events.

This lehenga is perfect for a Sangeet. This colour block lehenga with detailed zardozi embroidery on the choli and the skirt is stunning enough to let you sizzle on the stage. An ode to Indian crafts and design, this lehenga set can make your evening even more memorable.

For a complete look, you need to pair your lehenga with the right type of jewellery. I paired this extravagant lehenga with Kundan, Emerald and Ruby studded jewellery.

Kundan Jewelry is very traditional and classic. The elegance of these stone studded jewellery is no match to any other contemporary styles. The light gold colour of the kundan perfectly matches the gold dupatta and the work on the lehenga.

Since the blouse is very heavy I would recommend to not wear too many statement pieces of jewellery. But that doesn’t mean you don’t flaunt some crystal. You can always pair a Maang tikka and bring some oomph to your outfit. Maang tikkas have come back in style and are a great way to style your outfit. The boat neck of the blouse allows me to wear a choker necklace which is traditional yet fashionable.

Now when it comes to makeup and hair, this outfit would look great with some subtle makeup. You can either go for bold lips or eyes, but not both. I also prefer open hair and loose curls for a girly look. One can always tie up their hair into a bun for a sophisticated look but I believe buns are better for post-wedding events like the reception.

What makes this piece even more special for me is the woman behind it. Priti Sahni was an engineer by profession, who quit her job to pursue her passion of designing. Known for her hand embroideries and Indian Craft, Priti’s designs have an interesting mix of colours and fabric which are woven into the most beautiful sarees and lehengas.

So get ready to pick out your Bridal Outfits! What sangeet looks are on your mood board? Let me know in the comments below.

Tru Diamonds – The Cosmopolitan Woman’s New Best Friends

We’ve all grown up hearing (and possibly believing) that diamonds are a girl’s best friends. But recently, I came across jewellery by Tru-Diamonds and was forced to reconsider this widely-held belief.

So let me introduce you to the philosophy that guides this enterprise. Tru-Diamonds sells high- quality man-made gemstones that are so finely crafted, they are virtually indistinguishable from mined diamonds. In fact, these Swiss-made gems are produced under such stringent criteria with top-grade techniques that they are found to be superior to 96% of mined diamonds in terms of colour and clarity.

And let me tell you, this is not all hearsay. I’m the proud owner of a Tru-Diamonds 1 ct Tiffany Style Solitaire Ring myself. I have been wearing this ring for more than a week now, and not one person I have come across could imagine that it wasn’t a genuine solitaire piece. Seriously, I doubt even a certified jeweller would be able to tell the difference without a proper scrutiny of my gorgeous ring.

I’m now a firm believer that jewellery by Tru-Diamonds is a much better buy than that made of mined diamonds for several reasons. For one, their gems are ethically produced, so you are spared the guilt of sporting “blood diamonds”. Also, this jewellery is far more economical, though there is little difference in its appearance. I mean, think about it – my ring cost just about £149 while the equivalent product at Tiffany’s would drain me of over £10,000; isn’t Tru-Diamonds jewellery then a far better deal? I don’t have to worry about insurance to keep it safe or even worry too much about losing it. This is actually one of the reasons why such jewellery is becoming very popular amongst celebrities as well. I mean, who wants to hassle themselves with wearing exorbitantly-priced jewellery, only to worry about it getting lost or stolen?

But what I like about Tru-Diamonds even more is that they promise buyers a 90-Day trial period, 100% Refund, Lifetime Warranty and Easy Payment Options too. As someone who is spending money on a luxury purchase, you are completely protected, with absolutely nothing to worry about. What more can one ask for?

Frankly speaking, I’m quite taken in by the whole concept of Tru-Diamonds. I have been browsing through their range of jewellery which has a lot of classic as well as trendy pieces that I can totally see myself wearing. I’ve already zeroed in on my next purchase too! And why not? This jewellery is great for personal usage as well as gifting, and the availability in standard UK sizes makes it convenient to order online too. If you are on a budget this is a great alternative engagement ring saving you lot of money towards the deposit of your first home or that dream wedding

So what do you think? Would you go in for this ethically produced “super-gem” jewellery? I know I would.

5 Essential Jewellery Pieces For The Indian Bride

Everyone loves a big fat Indian wedding. With the amazing food, profound rituals, spirited music and wild dancing, how could they not? When I think of beautiful desi unions and my own dream wedding which is still a few years away, the first thing that jumps to my mind is jewellery. Could there be anything more important to a bride than the adornm

Without a doubt, these five jewellery pieces are absolutely essential for Indian brides. These embellishments will be the centre of attention so take out the time to ensure that each piece is the very best that it can be.

The Maang Tikka

Having disappeared from the matrimonial scene for a few years, the stunning maang tikka has made a major comeback and how. As a rule of thumb, ladies with broad foreheads can opt for a heavy maang tikka whilst those with narrow foreheads should stick to a simple, single-stranded piece. It is always a good idea to buy your maang tikka as part of your bridal jewellery set to ensure that the style is consistent with the rest of your baubles. If you are feeling bold, the classic matha patti is equally dazzling.

The Bangles

What is a wedding ensemble without arms full of choodiyan? No matter where you hail from, bangles are an indispensible part of every bride’s look. Traditionally worn in shades of green, red and white, the modern day bride prefers to match her bangles to the rest of her outfit. Today, bangles come in all sorts of designs and materials so there is bound to be something for every kind of bride.

The Necklace

You will be hard-pressed to find a bride with a bare neck. The necklace, or haar as it is called in India, is one of the most important accessories for ladies who are about to get hitched. In fact, many brides wear multiple necklaces on their big day, layering different lengths and styles for a beautiful effect. My favourite style of bridal necklace is the bold kundan collar that, to my mind, exudes timeless sophistication like nothing else.

The Nose Ring

The traditional bridal nose ring, also known as the nath, has come back with a bang. I love the large, dramatic pieces with a long chain that is attached to the brides hair, but simple nose rings can look equally stunning, especially if the rest of your jewellery is rather heavy. If you do not have your nose pierced but really want to wear a nose ring on your big day, please do not run out and get your sniffer pierced. Look around with a careful eye and you will find a wide range of clip-on options that are classy and comfortable. What more does a girl need?

The Kamarbandh

An ethnic waistband is a great way for brides to add some extra glamour to their look, especially when they are sporting a sari for their nuptials. Depending on the look that you are trying to achieve, the kamarbandh can vary from a simple gold chain to a heavy gem-encrusted belt. These are usually not sold as part of bridal jewellery sets so it is important to ensure that this piece goes well with the rest of your baubles. In fact, it might be a good idea to take your necklace along when you go shopping for a kamarbandh.

Here’s wishing you a lifetime of happily wedded bliss!

Kundan Jewellery – A Trend For Ever

Coming straight from the tradition of ancient Indian art of jewellery making, Kundan has seemed to represent the traditional cultural heritage of the country over the years. With impeccable jewels and finest of gold being used to manufacture a unique class of jewellery, Kundan promises to be a trend for the years to come. The embellishment of only the royal class, now Kundan has assumed an important role in contemporary fashion circles too. Being inspired by the royal tradition, the Kundan jewellery art seems to surely inspire several fusion and haute coutre trends. With the grace of Maharani Gayatri Devi, the jewellery offers scope for a beautiful Elizabethan elegance.

Various Kundan jewellery options are now open for women who are not afraid to go back to their roots and add a dash of royal touch to their dressing sense.

1) Anklets and bracelets

A perfect accessory for any woman, anklets and bracelets in Kundan can be a vibrant add-on to an Indian attire as well as a Western one. Worn with sarees, they do add a tinge of grace to the traditional attire but with a Western casual outfit they offer a pleasant contrast and fuse well.

2) Necklaces

An assortment of colours across an intricately woven pattern of gold, necklaces in Kundan art form go well with only traditional attire. Teamed with lehengas, skirts, sarees, suits and bridal wear, they enhance the grace and poise of the woman. Brighter colours on lighter shades of clothes and vice versa help to add an intensity to the look. You can experiment with chokers and raani haars too. Chokers, in a minimalist work pattern can go with a Western attire like a tunic but raani haars should strictly be restricted to sarees to be worn on festivals, marriages or similar traditional occasion.

3) Jhumaka (earrings)

The Kundan earrings with the minakari work on them can go well with sarees and salwar kameez but you can take a leap in experimentation and team them up with Jodhpur designs with a bright skirt to achieve that perfect bohemian look. Excellent examples of Kundan craftsmanship, these jhumkas also go well along the traditional bridal wear.

4) Rings and Bajuband

While bajubands are restricted only to formal family occasions to be teamed up best with sarees and lehenga-cholis, surely you do not want to miss out on the fun of experimenting with the brilliantly embellished rings and teaming them up with a motley of dresses and co-ordinate a variety of styles with them. The idea of a sapphire embedded ring with a LBD is equally exciting as the possibility of wearing a navaratna ring with a white emroidered saree.

With the Old and Royal art of Kundan, the possibilities and further experimentation depends on your sense of style. Go for Kundan if you want to intensify the poise and elegance of your look with the never-exhausting range of colours and patterns.
