To Karachi Brides- is it safe to wear gold/diamond jewellery?

I’ve already bought an uncut diamond jewellery set with my baraat day outfit, but my dad is now freaking out because he has heard scary stories about the bride being robbed on her way to inlaws.

I really want to wear the set I’ve got! My dad says that he’ll buy me an artificial set or I should take off my jewellery before my rukhsati.

What do I do?? Please help!! :bummer:

Get a few cars to escort you, or a trained security guard with gun to sit in front with the driver. I'm sure that wont be tough to arrange. Or if you really wanna be safe change the set into something artificial or silver after rukhsati.

^ yikes. after reading the above commment (...trained security guard with gun) i would not wanna wear it!

use an **armored vehicle **to and from the venues. :)

I would say take it off before the rukhsati. Thing is whoever is carrying it could be subject to robbery too.

Silver is cheap right now. If you wear silver then even if it gets stolen the value will not be too much. Karachi is horrible security wise like the tribal areas. I would have at least 3 cars with armed guards.

I know rightt! :teary1:

Maybe I was underestimating the security condition in Karachi. Thank you for the advice guys, I’ll take it off before Rukhsati then. I so wanted to wanted to walk in into my inlaws house with the jewellery but oh well. Zinda pohunchna zyada zaruri hai.

Best tip: Don't decorate the car it attracts too much attention and cover yourself at the time of rukhsati.

yup that's what i heard too. that karachi brides dont even wear real stuff any more. but ppl still do of course! i guess they remove it before getting into the car. or change into something really tiny, albeit still real, like a small diamond pendant or a gold chain with a normal pendant :)

Re: To Karachi Brides- is it safe to wear gold/diamond jewellery?

^ yeah. No wonder my dad wants me to remove it. I had no idea it was such a big deal.

Thanks for that tip marinakhan, that surely can be done as an extra precaution.
