 Understanding your neckline

Some women have a prominent and broad neckline while others have a fairly delicate and narrow neckline. Understanding your neckline should be of utmost importance while shopping for your bridal jewelry. Necklaces that compliment a certain neckline might prove to be inappropriate to other necklines. A bib necklace would not be recommended to someone with a small neckline. It could potentially overshadow other elements of the bridal jewelry making the entire look a fashion disaster.

This is the result of countless hours spent by goldsmiths crafting the piece. It is a common practice to match the tone of the jewelry with the tone of your Sarees or Lehengas. This ensures uniformity throughout the attire which contributes to an elegant ensemble bound to look stunning in every way. New trends in the industry include pastels with diamond jewelry which is sure to turn some heads. With that being said do not include too many colors and multicolored jewelry is a big nono.
