When beginning with your wedding jewellery shopping, the first styling that you start off with is your lehenga. You’ll first decide on your lehenga and then plan up every other detail about the jewellery, makeup, hairdo, footwear, and everything else based on that. While you could keep your makeup and hairdo to decide for later, we’ll advice you to buck up and decide on your jewellery trousseau well in advance. After all, designing and creating a jewellery masterpiece takes time. Doing it in a hurry won't bring out the results you expect.
Focus on your necklace
When you begin your wedding jewellery trousseau planning , put your main focus on the necklace that you’re planning to wear. Necklaces can instantly perk up your outfit and take your overall appearance a notch above. There are a variety of necklace types available for you to choose from, but one particular type that can inspire you is the traditionally beautiful Rajasthani Aadh necklace.
What’s an Aadh necklace?
The Aadh necklace is basically an elongated choker necklace that is encrusted with kundan or semi-precious stones, attached to a cascade of tiny pearls or jewels. It is one of India’s oldest traditional necklaces, designed in a square or rectangular shaped choker, covering the whole neckline area. Traditionally, the choker was a solid block of gold, which descended to triangles; and it came with strings to tie it at the back. The back of the choker generally had enamel or meenakari work. While this was the basic traditional design, there are many fashionable versions seen today.
Design your Aadh necklace
The statement necklace has come a long way from traditional Rajasthani brides to the modern brides of today. What was considered classic customary jewellery yesterday has become an admired stylish piece today, so much so that brides, even of other castes and traditions, are now including this style in their jewellery trousseau. If you’re also looking to experiment with something that is not too popular in your tradition, but will certainly look great, and give you a spectacular look, the Aadh necklace is definitely something you must opt for.
The Rajputana Aadh necklace has gained a new kind of popularity after Bollywood bride Sonam (Kapoor) Ahuja picked up an Aadh featuring pendant-style centerpiece for her wedding, and paired it with a multi-stranded mathapatti, rani haar, and haathphool. You can also up your jewellery game and fetch your favourite Aadh design for your D-day. You may have seen the Aadh countelss times on Rajasthani brides and loved it; now it’s your time to grab eyeballs and leave them wanting some more! Just walk in at Aura Jewels, the most admired customized gold jewellery shop in Bangalore, and have your Aadh necklace designed with traditional elements intact, yet contemporary styles adding to the modern flair.
