Re: Artificial Bridal Jewelery Websites
^ only if someone could give me a GOOD testimonial for art-karat! i’ve heard such bad stuff about their quality, otherwise their designs are to die for!
Re: Artificial Bridal Jewelery Websites
if u live in US, UK or India u can go to their Exhibitions & get jewellery urself
Re: Artificial Bridal Jewelery Websites
nope … neither of the places … in netherlands … though close to UK, but i dont have permit to go their without visa … too much hassle …
Re: Artificial Bridal Jewelery Websites
yep mahismart thts the one. a few of the things look nice but some of it is kind of tacky because it has tht high shine finish.
i just looked on the art karat website for the first time. some of their stuff is gorgeous. its quite pricey though the really nice bridal style ones are over £1000 just for the necklace. u may as well buy real gold for that price.
Re: Artificial Bridal Jewelery Websites
^ there is cheaper stuff as well … mix n match and pull a look together chiching! 
Re: Artificial Bridal Jewelery Websites
yep the cheaper stuff is also very nice. i keep going back to the website lol. im in love with the set on the home page. i was jus surprised at the price of some of the necklaces esp since its artificial stuff. personally ive never read anything negative abt art karat stuff n they always advertise on tv n magazines here. im guessing with any artificial sets u wud probably have to have it polished or replated or something over time.
Re: Artificial Bridal Jewelery Websites
i read somewhere (Cant remember where) … that someone bought jewelry from art-karat (for her wedding) … and it turned out really bad … the quality of it was like that of costume jewelry … and looked plastic .. and she couldnt return becuz of some retarded return policy issue
i have no idea of how far it is true!
Re: Artificial Bridal Jewelery Websites
hmmm well if i were in ur shoes personally i wud just take the risk n buy it from art karat because they have quite a good reputation as far as im aware and always have exhibitions etc in the uk. id rather buy from them than have a design made in pakistan as u have no guarantee of quality there either. the only other solution is to visit a bridal store urself and buy something after seeing it with ur own eyes.

the Artkarat store is also located in Mumbai
Re: Artificial Bridal Jewelery Websites
I think Art Karat is very over priced for the quality - it used to be much better before they got so big, I have a couple of their old silver pieces which are very nice, but I wouldn’t buy anything from them now, particularly since they won’t accept returns if you don’t like the piece you order.
I have have a couple of very nice Swarvoski sets (from their official store) - one looks like pave diamond work, the other is rose cut crystals in a sort of modern kundan-like style. They are nice because they go with both westerns & a traditional suit. They weren’t cheap (the kundan style was about $300 for the haar & earrings), but they are plated in a nice color 18 kt gold, & have a life time warranty, so if they tarnish or a crystal falls out Swarovski will repair it. I have the yellow gold look, but they also make white rhodium finish sets. The stores have a lot of heavy sets that might be suitable (I saw a beautiful heavy white set with crystals & pearls recently, it had matching earrings & bangles).
There is also an american brand call “Nadri”. They are made with Swarowski crystals & 18 kt gold plated as well. I have some nice sets from them, both in white & yellow, a necklace, bangles & matching earrings. Its very difficult to tell at a distance its not real diamonds because the stones are so small & the gold color is very rich looking. They have some heavier choker style necklaces & some gorgeous heavy 2 inch wide bangles with crystal work. I like these because I get nervous carrying “real” sets with me when I travel, I don’t think its safe, so these are a nice option.
Re: Artificial Bridal Jewelery Websites
thanks for this info saara … it’s really helpful … i have an artificial kundan set that i bought from anarkali, lahore .. and everybody thought it was real … and i LOVE that
