Jewelry, My One Nonpareil Love....!!!! Part -1

Jewelry is a very spiritual thing for me and when I wear it I feel beautiful. It is a way of expression and a way of life to me. Since pre-teens I have been that girl who has been starry eyed for every beautiful jewelry piece that comes across her. I have always dreamt of my wedding day with  jewelry being the biggest part of the trousseau.
When the D day arrived I dug out my old scrapbooks and in sheer excitement marked all the pre-eminent pieces that I would like to own. I wanted that jewelry collection that has me looking put together for whatever formal event is on my calendar after marriage.
I have been a bride for more than a year now and have always been complimented for my jewelry. I don't own a vast collection of pieces but all my pieces are unique and comprehensive helping me cover all the festivities that I have to attend. Jewelry to me is that one thing that enhances my beauty and sensuality right from a ‘nathni’ to earrings to bangles to pajeb.
So here is some jewelry staples that you might need for your new life ahead.
Tevta
Tevta is native to rajasthan and few parts of haryana. It is made up of yellow gold often adorned with some meenakari and kundan work. It is usually in rectangle or a square shape and is worn with moti mala. This is very good from investment purpose as it mainly constitutes of Gold. I came across this design when I was 14 years old and added it to my wedding trousseau list. It adds grace to my dresses, making it perfect for a outfit that has light neckline.It elevates all my light,designer dresses and giving me that glamorous look. I pair them with Gold Jhumkas and a gold kada. The best part about them is that this design is not very common and  is a attention grabber.

Recently I spotted Socialite Rhea Kapoor wearing it on Sonam Kapoors wedding. Though I like my design way better but still the concept is same. You can find many designs for tevta on pinterest. 

Polki Kundan Set
I remember being awestruck behind the curtains, watching mummy put on her jadau necklace with a silk sari, a beautiful memory etched in my mind. As my D day arrived, it was my time to finally own that crown piece of jewel. For my wedding Day I chose a Kundan Polki set enameled in green color. It complimented my maroon lehanga and captured the portrait of a perfect looking bride. This one piece adds a whole new layer to an outfit. I chose such a necklace that can be used both with traditional and  modern attire. I paired it with a kundan nath from the house of Hazoorilal Jewellers. You can choose kunda over polki as polki jewelry is 10 times expensive than the kundan ones. I usually wear this piece on a lehenga or a deep colored gown to accentuate that look.

I spotted Chitrangana Sen wearing almost a similar set with a saree.
