Hi girls, i am in the process of making my shadi jewellery. i live in lahore at the moment but will by moving to america after shadi. i want to get jewellery that i can wear and not keep in the banks. Can you tell me how often do u get to wear jewellery there , the kind we usually get , mediums sets, karas, medium to large earings, big rings etc.? and if thats rare can u tell me whats something i should focus on if i want the more wearable kind of zevar. Thanks
as always, was very reluctant to start a new thread. if this has been dicussed before please let me know.
I live in the UK and have stuck to gold items that i know are gona go wiv my clothes. U dont really get to wear heavy jewellery everyday but small things like pendants, pretty earrings look nice. Go wiv some small things and a couple of medium things- ull b goin out to weddings, functions etc.
best thing to do is get a couple of things and when u come to the US look around and see what u like. U can always gt things made l8r :)
Shahji’s website has tons of stuff…since you live in lahore..it may not be of much help..but the kundan sets/earrings they have…small-medium sized ones…are really practical.. 22kt Gold Indian Kundan Jewelry
np, well...i wear earrings to parties..night out etc....
and the single strand gold/kundan/gemstone/pearl necklaces are good for weddings and parties.....
also it gives you the measurements of pendants, earrings and necklaces...on the right side.
hey .i live in new york city.its useless to wear heavy jewelery here except weddings as u know the black people here no good.not every body is mean but some of them are good too but its good if u bring light jewelerys with you. we have a bazar here name jacksion height got every thing.
im in ireland and u dont usually get to wear much gold, however the ladies in my family wear some nice gold choorian, not lots jst a few(4-6), as they are simple in design, mayb a kara? bangles are so in fashion neway so im sure u can wear those, and yes defo get a nice pendent set that stands out in design along with earings to match. u'll only wear things on special occasions really..... :)
thin bangles, a few karas, earrings are always good.... rings are nice too, just depends on how u wear it.i m sure a few daring ones will pair a raani-haar with their jeans/teeshirts. :D
I live in US as well and it all depends on how social you/your future family is. Where I live there are tons of weddings so my jewelery has made good use. IMO, small and medium sets are much more useful than the huge ones. For one-its so hard making outfits that go with the big sets--which almost always look better on shaadi joras and saris than plain old shalwaar camiz.
Personally I feel as if big sets do not go with my frame so dont wear them. If I have the need to wear something antique or larger than my usual things- i just borrow from my MIL or mother:)
I too love pendants and earrings--they're quite versatile--worn mine with a sari, shalwar camiz and even an evening dress. Strands of pearls are always elegant.
