I beg to differ. Never been a big fan of the shiny stones. Why pay so much for miniscule stones, I mean everyone's not born an Ambani ! I could never let anyone spend a fortune to get me one of those !
Personally, I have t
he deepest liking only for 'Kundan' jewelery. I just love the antique, royal look. Anyone wearing a piece could feel like a princess from another era. Wow...! I was awestruck by the designs in 'Jodha-Akbar,' though at times it was OTT. But just watching those layers of kundan around her neck, I made a personal vow to wear just that on my wedding. Ya of course the quantity would be considerably lesser, but it would be that !!!!I have a certain aversion towards pearls, especially set in Indian style of jewelery. I don't mind a strand of lovely pearls worn with a smart dress to work. But, pearl bangles and huge necklaces... no no no! take them awa
y !I came across this lovely ring here... I must find a lookalike somewhere.. this costs an insane amount of $2400, maybe coz it has white sapphires n stuff @! The look is so much like 'kundan.' I would just love to slip it on right NOW!
Even gold, I recently have started tolerating gold. But only the dull gold. Never can I imagine wearing something bright yellow ans shiny. I might have to give in on my wedding, coz everything might not be of my choice, but as long as I can stay away, I'll be mighty happy. White gold is nice.
Silver is even better. Like something, buy it. It won't empty your wallet. Ok, atleast not like other metals. I have a boxful of rings, anklets, chains, pendants, earrings....thanks to 'Sudhan' on M.G Road. Got all my piercings done from there as well. That place has some wonderful things, some still out of budget :( But the day shall come, and we will wait eagerly for that day !!
Platinum.. I dunno, whats the hype, except that its so damn expensive. I would just get white gold.
And I think thats it !! No other kind of jewelery qualified for this post, or caught my fancy yet.
