2016 Jewelry trends for the brides to be.....

7 INDIAN WEDDING JEWELRY TRENDS FOR 2016!!!!

BY Preeti

I love Indian International Jewelry Week. LOVE. Too many pretty jewels, too little time.

And I am especially excited to see how brides can show these 2016 trends. Traditional, funky, over the top, there is serious innovation in Indian jewelry styles this year. Here are our seven trends for 2016.

Crown style maang tikkas -

Forget the classic and even upbeat mang tikka styles. Grab your necklace and convert it to a crown style tikka.

Extra chunky necklaces -

Chunky, extra large, oversize; they don't begin to describe the super huge statement pieces. Some are multi-strands while others are a single, super large piece.

Asymmetric necklaces -

Think peacocks and partial wrap around necklaces.-

Double down -

Double stranded necklaces have never been so popular!

Funky earrings -

Revised jhumkas, artsy bohras, and 1920s Gatsby-esque tassel earrings.

The modern traditional -

Want your traditional gold? Tanishq's jewelry line maintains the classic styles while keeping up with the times.

Diamonds are still a girl's best friend -

Indeed they are.

Bride to be.....

The Scientific Reasoning Behind What You're Feeling

So who's feeling what? Engagements are fraught with emotion. From the anticipation that comes from perhaps suspecting he is about to propose to the sheer joy when it becomes down-on-one-knee reality.

Then, there’s the delight of sharing the news with loved ones, and sometimes the buzzkill when an aunty intimates you could have done better or his mum’s smile seems a little forced.

After this comes the months-long planning process, and if there’s anything that’s going to test your love it’s invitation font selection, calculation of per head catering costs and whether or not his nephew’s grunge band Stinkfinger will provide the entertainment. (‘Think of the money we’ll save, babe.’)

All of this, of course, is carried out in the name of having a perfect day. One of sheer unadulterated joy. Recent scientific research, however, has gone some way to explaining why weddings produce such intense emotions in not only the bride and groom but the guests also. And while the setting, dress, menu and smooth unfolding of events undoubtedly play their role, some suggest it’s your body that makes the day what it is thanks to a rise and fall in the hormone levels of all involved.
