Gold on Wedding

I’d rather have that money and use it on an awesome honeymoon or a downpayment on a house. Gold is pricey and totally not worth it living in the west where weddings and Eid are fairly low key affairs if you attend as a guest. Plus whatever happened to wearing heirloom family sets passed down from nani’s and dadi’s? Those are made so much better and the designs are gorgeous and the kind of workmanship you just don’t find anymore. I wore my moms Jarao lachha and gold chooriyan and I just bought a matching gold plated teeka. I’ve since worn the Jarao lachha and chooris again but not the teeka so I’m super glad I didn’t spend more than a couple hundred bucks on it.

I LOVE my jarao lacha passed down to me from my ammi…complete with karanphool! It’s true khandaani Hydro jewelry. That to me is more precious then lots of gold. I love the heirloom factor like you said…they don’t make 'em like that anymore.
