Swayamvar Style


We don’t know if she will tie the knot for sure but Rakhi did pick a person on the finale of ‘Rakhi Ka Swayamvar’ and did it in a Neeta Lulla lehenga (a variation of which was previewed by Neetu Chandra a while ago).

The lehenga is regular fare, but holy moly, if we were Rakhi, we’d ditch the dude and run away with those jewels! Yes, there is quite a Kundan overload but each piece is EXQUISITE!

P.S. To find out who she picked, jump over to ‘The Gallery’.

Another Jewellery Launch…

Tis’ the season. Of many a launch.

And this time around, Its Hyderabad. And designer in question? Farah Khan. And Priyanka Chopra was in town to launch designer Farah Khan’s diamond and pearl jewellery line. Moving past the obvious celebrity bait (even we surprise ourselves sometimes!!), what do y’all think of the jewellery itself?

Be’jewelled: Get The Look


If you haven’t noticed, necklines embellished with jewelled accents are all over the place and while its a look lot of people seem to crave, its not entirely easy on the pocket and neither does its fate lie decided over the next fashion season or two as far as its longevity is concerned!

So here’s a way you can make that look work for you! If its Simi’s look you need and want, just pin a pretty kundan ‘maang tikka’, or any gemstone (of your preference) ‘maang tikka’ onto the neckline! If its a more understated look, like Minissha’s, you crave after, then all you have to do is pin an elegant brooch on that neckline. One screams for attention, another makes a demure point, either way, its a great way to make a statement for now!

Kundan Jewelry


I am in love with “Kundan”. And No Kundan ain’t a guy and neither is Kundan a girl!
(I had to clarify! What if mom and dad are reading!)

“Kundan” is a form of gem setting with pure gold. The purest and softest form of gold (24K) is hammered into sheets and mounted around stones to encase them. I didn’t know this, but because the stones are encased, light strikes the stones only from above which actually gives them the dull look versus a shiny one.

Seeing the Jodhaa-Akbar poster reminded me of this classic and timeless style of jewelry. Now, what Ash is wearing probably runs into lakhs and crores of rupees, but since I don’t have that much money, I am going to have to find pieces that are much cheaper but that still maintain the essence. I searched far and wide, high and low all over the world (on the internet of course!) and finally came up with some reallly cute pieces that I am thinking of buying.

These cute bangles are very reminiscent of the Kundan design with the red and green stones that almost look like precious rubies and emeralds. You might think that these might run upto more than a thousand dollars, but they are only $34 for the pair.

I have never seen Kundan anklets before but am totally loving the idea. These would be great to wear with skirts or capris. You could probably even wear these on one hand and make a great chunky bracelet out of em!

An…d for the grand finale.. I cannot end this post and not have a pair of earrings.
This simple chandelier style earrings with golden beads are just too delicious for only $32.
