The Mumbai Bride Diaries: Engagement Jewellery and Shoes

The Mumbai Bride Diaries: Engagement Jewellery and Shoes
Check out my previous post to see my outfit HERE and the mehendi and manicure,pedicure post HERE.

Today I am talking about jewellery and shoes.. Coming to the jewellery,what all can be worn as a part of jewellery:

1. Set consisting of necklace and earrings: A basic set which complements the outfit..you can go heavy or light depending on your preference..I wanted something light..and a maang tikka can also form a part of the set.

2. Matching Set of Bangles: You can either go for kadas if you do not want to wear whole set of bangles..or a set of bangles..any shop stocking bangles would customise it according to your outfit..you can ofcourse make changes in it as per your liking.

3. Kamar patta or Waist Belt: I wanted to add one..but did not find anything appropriate so skipped it..you can definitely wear it if you find something good..that works well with your outfit too.

4. Latkans : These days the latkans are quite in..ya the same ones which we have in our anarkalis and blouses on the back..we can also wear them on the sides of the waist across the saris or lehengas..you can combine a few different ones and mix and match.

5. Baju Band or Armlet : One can also add baju band on the upper arm..especially if your outfit is sleeveless or has very short sleeves..looks pretty..

6. Payal or Anklets: Kundan payal looks great and would match most of the Indian outfits..you can find so many designs of it these days.

I wore a simple gold set with some silver accents and diamonds in between and blue droppings and only the earrings..skipped the maang tikka as I wanted a light look..one can always add a maang tikka too.

Matching set of bangles to the outfit.

Stiff Kundan Payal..they have this oblong shape..and have a key lock..

Shoes : I chose these Catwalk shoes with gold motifs and pearl and diamonds on the front..same shoes were available in 2 inches more heel but with a broader band at the front..I needed heels coz fiancee is 6’3” :/ And I did buy those, somehow the transaction failed and since it was only one pair left, it was showing Out of Stock then..and later when I checked I guess it was already sold out..though I liked this smaller band more..but heels also were less in these..nonetheless I felt they looked perfect with the outfit..I bought these online from Jabong.

Places to shop for..I knew which is the best place in my area for the jewellery and bangles and so was found it there..so I checked out many shops for the set and did not like it much anywhere or did not find something that would compliment the outfit well..I would suggest first checking out your local famous shops, then online and also compare prices..I liked a few on Homeshop18, Craftsvilla, etc..But checking out and trying personally is what is recommended..

In Mumbai..you can check out Magic Mirror in Matunga and Santacruz, Sia outlets, shops in Bhuleshwar for artificial jewellery..for real gold and diamonds I would recommend going to your trusted family jeweller..I like diamonds from Manubhai Jewellers in Borivali and Ghatkopar…my engagement ring is also from there.

Hope you liked the post..if you still have any doubts or need any help, shoot me an email at bhumika_thakkar@yahoo.co.uk and I would be ready to help..

JewelFunk.com – One Stop Shop for Accessories


About JewelFunk: Jewels have been an eminent factor throughout the pages of history, and have symbolized various values of society. Some cultures have used jewels as a status symbol, while others have attached religious undertones to these accessories. Here at www.jewelfunk.com we add another dimension to the manner in which these glitzy pieces of artful craftsmanship are perceived. The impressive array of jewels available on the website includes a range of earrings, rings, bracelets, necklaces and pendants. To top it all, you can also customize your own set and choose the products that define you in all your glory.

Giving an option of free delivery to its customers, not only is the browsing and buying hassle-free, but it provides a truly complete shopping experience right from the comfort of your home. Providing jewels for every occasion, including bridal-wear, festive-wear or any other occasion that compels you to dig deep into your jewellery box.

Uncompromised quality, combined with timely delivery and easy payment options adds to the shine of this one-stop virtual shop. So go ahead and fill your eyes with that dreamy look, as you browse through pages filled with intricate designs that glitter at you and leave your heart yearning for more.

They have a huge variety in accessories..I was so loving everything while browsing..one can get confused easily..

They stock everything from Necklaces, Bangles, Cuffs, Earrings, Rings,Sets, Pendants, Chains and even accessories for men like chains or cufflinks..they have fancy belts and lockets and even the vintage designs..

The best thing about the site is, everything is reasonably priced..they are not priced double than what their actual amount is, unlike a few sites..

They offer a coupon of Rs. 500/- on signing up..which can be used in two parts i.e Rs. 250/- off each time on a purchase of Rs. 1000/- and above..which is 25% off..quite a decent deal.

They accept all forms of payment including Cash on Delivery but there is an extra charge of Rs. 100/- for COD..which I feel is high..though they have Free Shipping..and all with tracking..and I received the stuff in one day.

Here are some of the things I liked along with their prices..

Turquoise Rose Diamond Necklace Set- Rs. 492/- (Its in 5 colors- Purple, Grey, Green and Bronze..and I am so loving each and every color…these would look super awesome with a sari )

Pearly Wave Collar Necklace- Rs. 208/- (though not exactly a collar necklace)

Loopy Necklace- Rs. 343/-

Wood Braided Necklace- Rs. 384/-

Intricate Carvings Ring- Rs. 328/-

Hanging Pearl Earrings- Rs. 391/-

Marigold Wristband- Rs. 283/- (Super gorgeous)

Dose of Shell Wristband- Rs. 263/-

Chunky Party Bangles- Rs. 148/-

Multicolour Dotted Bangle- Rs. 153/-

Are’nt the prices super reasonable and the stuff awesome..this website is a boon for people who do not have places like Colaba Causeway and Linking of Mumbai or Janpath and like of Delhi..you can get some of those cool accessories delivered right at your doorstep..

Here is what I hauled..

Frilled Beaded Bracelet

Summer Colors Bangles

Pearly Collar Necklace

It came in a plastic ziplock for each and the bangles and bracelet were inside a plastic box…all covered with lots of bubble wrap around.

But I guess most of the stuff are single pieces..coz I do not see the stuff I got on the website now..and that is a con ofcourse..well we all won’t those gorgeous stuff, right 😉 I would suggest adding more pieces of the same item and reducing the extra charges for Cash on Delivery..other than that..I have no issues at all..and I am surely coming back for more..(the Rose Diamond Set and the Marigold Wristband 😉 )

In other news, I am totally loving Cocktail songs ‘Tumhi Ho Bandu’ and ‘Chadi Mujhe Yaari Teri Aisi Jaise Daaru Desi’..how many of you like it ? Does’nt Diana Penty look pretty and promising ? I hope the movie is nice too..

P.S: I got a voucher to shop for but that has not affected my opinion of the site.
