For the UK based guppans, has anyone bought from Kyle’s Collection in Green Street?
I went for a bridal consultation yesterday and also picked up a pearl set that i had ordered.
their pieces are indeed exclusive! the quality and especially the service given by the designers is impeccable.
as i mentioned before, i actually have a gold kundan tiny set for the D Day, but it is has no tikka yet and i got a quote of £400 just for the tiny 1 inch long tikka (to be made exactly in same kundan gold)
i went to Kyles to see if they could blend my gold jewellery and my silver embroidered dress using another piece of jewellery and we found a gorgeous mala that blended the dress and the gold kundan perfectly. the mala gave the final complete bridal look without looking out of place. We also added so sahara to accentuate my 1inch long kundan gold earings. The mala I chose are the following:Shareza Spray Rani Harr [FONT=Calibri,MV Boli][FONT=Calibri,MV Boli][size=3]http://www.kylescollection.com/Shop/shop-products/Raniharr/[/size]](http://www.kylescollection.com/Shop/shop-products/Raniharr/)
now, this is priced at £680 which to me seems way too high for a piece that i might wear once or twice in my life.
would you know where to find a very similar piece for a lower proce wihtout compromising on the quality as such? i have seen many ‘similar’ shape mala but due to low quality, the copies seem very ‘cheap and blingy’ type which i cannot wear with my intricate gold kundan and dubka embroidered dress.
do you thing it very be easy to sell? would any bride want to buy such mala off me? i personally know three 2014 brides who are getting the full jewellery from Kyles.
I wore kyles on my baraat and valima loved it! Since i dont like gold much its deffo worth the price, the kyles pieces are very wearable again ive worn my sets twice like eg earrings on a weddjng and a necklace at the other
Have you tried Jewels n Gems? They are on facebook and instagram
Could you get away with wearing the smaller necklace in this collection? Will ur set go to waste? Jewels n gems do nice maalaas theres another company called Bees they are in london also a friend got hr wedding jewellery from there also you can check them out
i didnt like anything in Bees after visiting Kyles as everything else seem of a lesser quality to me then.
I just had a look at Jewels and Gems. I have found one piece that might be similar but i need to try it with the dress. do they have a shop? and what is their return policy (if you have used them before)
Not sure what theyre return policy is they r online based but must do consultations. Tbh i dont think anything will compare to kyles i went back and forths to loads of places and just kept seeing the kyles set in my mind, for me it was the headpiece that i kept imagining so stuck to it!
Go to jazzy bindi on st Katherine's way,it's not too far from Kyles. I ordered a tikka and nath to match my antique gold set for my wedding, and it was designed to perfection and an almost identical match to the gold. I also ordered my valima jewellery there and he was amazing in designing something that enhanced the outfit. This was 5 years ago, so can't comment in prices.

thanks
i will go have a look at their designs
might be a good idea for them to replicate a nice kundan tikka instead of getting the real gold that will cost me £400 for just few hours of my life. Im not big fan of tikka to be wearing it more than once
quick question about Kyles: is their online stuff real gold plated, or just artificially coloured?? I can't quite work it out. For all of their jewellery sets they have the option to choose the 'plating' finish, with options including gold, antique gold, rhodium, etc. Do they use the real metals or is it just a finish, and if it's real gold, how many karats?
I'm looking to buy a gold plated set online, but need it fairly quickly (next 2 weeks or so?) - anyone know of any other good jewellers who could deliver quickly?
