How to Buy Bridal Jewellery? You must ensure that the bridal jewellery such as bridal necklace set, bridal earrings, bridal rings, should match your bridal dress.

In our opinion, making sure that you find the right gems to go with your bridal outfit needs expert intervention—you’re listening to a specialist for everything from your stars to your makeup anyway, so why make such a big investment without some help? We get jewellery designers and experts to tell you what you need to keep in mind.
Jaipur-based designer Sunita Shekhawat debunks three common myths surrounding wedding jewellery
1. It should match your outfit: “I firmly believe contrast is the best way to go when it comes to your wedding outfit and jewellery. The idea that the two have to match is outdated.”
2. It should be traditional: “It’s not necessary to wear either traditional or modern jewellery. Since traditional motifs have found their way into modern design, you can do a mix of both.”
3. It should be over the top: “Less is more. Do not over-accessorise. To make a statement, accentuate one part of the body with a large piece and balance the rest with finer pieces.”

If you are collecting jewellery for your daughter or a close family member, these are the guidelines you should keep in mind.

2. It should stand the test of time: “While the piece should have an element of novelty, it should be such that it never goes out of style and only looks better with time.”
