I will be wearing a red bridal and looking for contrast jewelry instead of rubies. Please suggest which stones will look nice. Thanks. I will also be wearing a pearl choker and looking to add stones in there also.
Re: stones in contrast with red
ooh or sapphires....I have rarely seen sapphires in bridal jewelery
Re: stones in contrast with red
I think turquoise and pearls look good together and would contrast with the red.
Alternatively I also like purple amethyst and that would contrast with the red (but not as much).
Re: stones in contrast with red
multi colour stones or diamonds will look good & Kundan too
Re: stones in contrast with red
I like white stones (cubic zircon).
depends on the outfit really......can u share pics/more details about the jora?
Re: stones in contrast with red
emeralds
Re: stones in contrast with red
White diamantes always look classy but if your wanting a contrast, then i think emerald would look nice.
Re: stones in contrast with red
yup, i vote for emeralds and pearls too!

Could you get a nauratan set?
Re: stones in contrast with red
On the color wheel, red and green are opposite one another. They’re considered complimentary colors and are often paired together in desi clothes and jewelry. Other examples of complimentary colors include purple and yellow…blue and orange.
I think that green stones would compliment your red bridal best. You can also use pearls…but I think the pearls would look best if they are attached or used in conjunction with red/green stones. To wear stark white pearl jewelry against red clothes…might look harsh.
Does your bridal outfit have any other colors besides red? If there is dark blue in your bridal…you can use sapphire. If you have any aqua/tiffany blue in your outfit…you can also use blue topaz in your jewelry.
Is there any orange-ish/brown/amber type color in your clothes? If so, you can use stones like
citrine
or
champagne or chocolate diamonds

what other colors are there in your red bridal dress?
Re: stones in contrast with red
Yeah I think it would be a good idea to match the stones/ gems with those from your lengha.
Re: stones in contrast with red
It depends on your outfit. For my wedding jewellery I didn't want to go with the whole 'matchy matchy' look, and also as I don't often wear red didn't want to get lumbered with a red set that I wouldn't wear as much.
So I designed the outfit based on the jewellery - which I'd fallen in love with and bought. My outfit was red, with mustard and purple boarders. My set was citrine, amythest, rose quartz and diamond, which contrasted with the oufit perfectly and at the same time didn't look too out of place.

kundan - classic, stylish, expensive!!!
Could you get a nauratan set?
wats nauratan
Re: stones in contrast with red
Nauratten is exactly what its names says... Nau=9 and ratten=stones...so,basically it's jewelry made up of 9 different colored stones that have been set in gold.
