Shopping for bridal jewelry sets can be a tiring experience, as you have to make multiple visits to stores before you finally fall in love with a piece of jewelry. This is where the online shopping experience comes to your rescue. Online shopping allows you to choose the jewelry of your choice, within a budget of your liking, right from the comfort of your home. Moreover, you are not geographically bound, which means that if you're abroad, you can still go shopping for your wedding in India, right from where you are right now.   However, as you may have rightly been warned, shopping Indian jewellery online isn't always a perfect experience. While we at Tarinika work hard at every step to give you to 'You see what you get experience, here are a few aspects you must keep in mind. The Range When shopping online, take the time to compare a few stores before choosing the one you wish to buy from. Opt for a store with a broader range of products in the line of jewelry that you seek. This will enable you to have a better choice and easy exchange if the need so arises. Also, look at the range of metals and materials the store has to offer. The layout of the site you shop from should be fuss-free, enabling you to navigate and see the various products on offer easily.   The Craftsmanship Whether you're opting for precious metals and pure stones or semi-precious materials, do have a keen eye on the craftsmanship. A well-crafted piece, irrespective of the material it is made of, will serve you longer and give you more reason to adorn it. Moreover, as the jewelry you wear becomes the focal point of your appearance at your wedding, opt for classy, grand, and well-designed pieces. When comparing jewelry pieces online, look at the dimensions of the piece of jewelry, and pay careful attention to the depiction of the craftsmanship involved.   The Pricing While pricing is always flexible and towards the higher side for wedding shopping and bridal jewelry, do keep a budget in mind. This will enable you to shop at ease and buy multiple jewelry sets for different wedding occasions. Look at stores that have a wide price range to suit your requirements and go for them. Steers clear of stores that sell jewelry at sky-high prices or ones that offer it very cheap. The extremely low jewelry price is often an indicator that the jeweler has compromised on materials and craftsmanship.   The Policies Reading the fine print is no fun, but an essential element, when you're going for bridal jewelry shopping online. Opt for stores that provide exclusivity on designer pieces. A store must also have return policies and give you sufficient time to return the jewelry if you're unhappy with it. Also, look at the store's repair services and whether they can take care of small breakages or stone settings in case of damage. A few stores may also have a minimum order quantity or order cancellation terms in place. Also, look at product warranties and guarantees that ensure you a safe buying experience. You can then be relaxed that the product is high in quality and will serve you longer. Besides considering the terms and conditions aspect, try to buy from stores that have online support to help you choose well.   The Trust A store that has built the trust of its customers over the years is always a haven to buy your bridal jewelry from. Tarinika has been a household name in providing high-quality jewelry with fascinating craftsmanship for many years now. This trust has been built over the years, and you need to find it with your online store. If the name you shop from is relatively new, then do check out the reviews. Feedback from friends and family who've shopped at the store before can help.   Buying earrings online can be both a fun and fulfilling experience. However, do keep the above aspects in mind when you shop online. Look at stores that offer support in choosing the right colors and materials to complement your bridal attire. Tarinika offers all that support and much more, doing your shopping experience a fascinating one.

Indian festivals are a time of celebration. It is a time when family, friends, and relatives get together, spread laughter, and create memories. It is time to look your radiant best and get those carefully chosen clothes and jewelry out from their boxes and adorn them. The first year of festivals is even more important for the newlywed Indian bride, the center of attention for the doting family.     To look your best not just on your wedding day, but through the important days of the year is no easy task. But fret not; with a bit of foresight and careful planning, you can ace your look every time. The smartest thing to do is to plan much. A new bride can shop for festival jewelry pieces while she is buying bridal jewellery sets for her wedding. Do remember that not all pieces need to be in pure gold or diamond. While you can choose a few pieces in precious stones and metals, you can buy a few designer pieces that show exquisite craft. While you plan for jewelry, do keep these aspects in mind.   A Budget:  Plan a budget that is comfortable for you. With a number in mind, you can go about choosing a combination of jewelry, that's beautiful yet easy on your pocket too. If you feel that formulating a budget is tough, you can browse various jewelry sites online to know the price range you can expect. This will enable you to plan accordingly.  Your Color Palette:  Know the colors you wish to play around with. Festival times are usually all about bright, happy colors, but you can also opt for the subdued and pastel palette. Depending on the colors of your attire, you can then look at jewelry to complement. So, while you shop for your bridal trousseau, keep a mix of different Indian dresses for various social occasions. This will allow you to choose jewelry also. Last but not least, ensure that the color palette you select complements your skin tone.     Buy Jewelry in Varied Materials:  The lovely colors of gold and silver and the many hues these two precious metals come in, offering a range in itself. Then there are the elegant pearls, ruby red stones, and emerald greens that entice. Buy your jewelry in a mix of different shades and materials to add diversity to your wardrobe.      Complement the Attire:  The jewelry you wear should complement your attire and not overpower or underwhelm in any manner. So, choose pieces as per the neckline of your dress. You can opt for necklaces in varying lengths ranging from the choker necklace to a longer work. While these can be worn together for grand evenings, each of these pieces can be worn on their own for smaller functions.     Look at Craftsmanship:  Advertising often leads us to believe that the more expensive pieces are better. However, such is not the case. There are many beautiful pieces of jewelry out there, waiting for you at lesser costs. All you need to do is tune your wavelength to the craftsmanship of the piece. Look at brands that offer the novelty of design, and you will find pieces that are high on craft and light on the pocket as well.     Buy Smart:  Pendant sets and jewelry sets are an excellent way to get more for less. While sets can be worn for a grand occasion, you can also wear one part of the set for specific events.    Buying jewelry can be a fun experience if you know where to look for the best pieces. If you're unsure of what to buy and from where do remember to take a trusted friend along. Some stores also offer assistance to help you create an impressive look. Wherever you purchase from, be sure that the brand is trusted and offers excellent quality products and great service.  

Indian jewellery is perhaps one of the most versatile forms of jewellery in the world. With a rich history and heritage to get inspired from, it is no wonder that there is plenty of scope to keep evolving, experimenting, and adorning!   That said, it is more important than ever for the Indian bride to look her stunning best. After all, on your special day, you want to be the charm of all eyes. This is one occasion where you can go all out and get creative. As each bride wishes to look beautiful and strikingly different, the year's trends also come into play. So, making it easier for you to shop jewellery for a particular time in your life is the aim of this blog. Read on to know all about the trends for 2021.   Go the traditional route Yes, traditional jewellery has always been a classic statement. And whether you have heritage jewellery that's been passed on to you as heirloom pieces, or you go shopping for antique jewellery designs, weddings offer a perfect occasion. Like many brides, you too can opt for a mix, as you get pieces specifically designed or complementing your traditional heirloom pieces. The metal for traditional jewellery for weddings was typically gold, but the trends in 2021 indicate otherwise. You can choose any metal with conventional designs. Not only are these beautiful accessories to traditional bridal attire, but they also go well with modern drapes.   Tip: Instead of shopping for one-off pieces, ensure that you get an entire set to complete your look for the attire. Also, pairing bright pieces of gold with colourful coloured attires and dull or matte gold pieces with dull or matte coloured attire is a sure winner.  Opt for statement pieces    When shopping for Indian bridal jewellery sets that are, trends indicate brides opt for a few key statement pieces of jewellery. So, if you have a large forehead, then a maang tika may complement you perfectly. Today various elaborate pieces are bold and beautiful as well. A stunning piece that becomes the centre of attraction can be your focal jewellery, as you work your look around it. A lovely waistband is also a great statement piece to own. Whatever jewellery you choose as your statement pieces, do keep in mind that they frame your body in a complementing manner. You can ensure this by trying the entire set before the wedding and clicking a few pictures of yourself.   Tip: Base your choice of a statement piece on the features you'd like to highlight. For example, play with the length of layered necklaces based on the length of your neck and the kind of neckline of your dress.   Keep your look clutter-free    As weddings are a grand occasion, many brides often make the mistake of cluttering up their looks. Heavy dresses with elaborate embroidery tend to get paired with heavy jewellery with intricate work. The focal point of the look usually gets lost with such combinations. Trends this year indicate the importance of keeping your look clutter-free. Rather than wearing heavy jewellery with heavy clothes and heavy makeup, try to strike a balance. For example, pair a huge maang tika with a smaller bindi, so that the two complement each other and the former does not cover up the latter.   Tip: A happy smile, a few key pieces of beautiful jewellery and a lovely dress can keep you look stunning on your special day. However, do sort out what you would wish to wear for each of the wedding functions so that your look is different, fresh and clutter-free for various occasions.  Opt for cross-cultural pieces    The beauty of Indian culture lies in its diversity. Each Indian state has its kind of jewellery design to offer. Thus while the kasuluperu is a stunning necklace from South India, the Maharashtrian Nath and Bengali-styled chokers are other favourites. With a growing number of cross-cultural marriages, various cross-cultural pieces are also finding their way into the bridal trousseau. Today's brides aren't just limiting themselves to one particular culture but are picking up pieces from the culture of the length and breadth of India as well.   Tip: Pairing your jewellery from across cultures needs to be done with care, for enhancing your unique look.   Polki jewellery gains attention     This year, the polki jewellery pieces are being picked up by brides as the jewellery of choice. These uncut diamonds mined from the earth offer the right amount of grandeur and elegance to bridal attire. One of the historical forms of diamond cutting, the rough cut is beautiful and charming. Also, those with limited budgets needn't worry about the expense involved. While original polki jewellery can be costly, there are artificial options available to choose from as well.   Tip: There is a vivid variety of polki jewellery to choose from, and if your favourite physical store does not offer them, try the online stores as well.  Opt for pearls and semi-precious stones    Breathtaking with their elegance and grace, pearls can add to your wardrobe like nothing else. These complement a range of colors in the bridal attire and should be a part of one of the wedding festivities. Opt for an entire bridal set with pearls as the theme. These go well with polki and kundan jewellery pieces too, making for a stunning combination. Semi-precious stones like rubies and emeralds are great options too. Depending on your attire, you can choose semi-precious stones that complement them.   Tip: Before you go shopping for jewellery, use a colour wheel. This is a great way to find out which colors of semi-precious stones complement the colour of the dress you wear.   While it is essential to stay in tune with the latest trends, always listen to your heart and wear what you feel comfortable in. If a heritage piece of jewellery is close to your heart and you'd like to wear it whether it matches or not, choose an occasion and a complementing way of using that piece. If you wish to select a look that doesn't sit with norms and trends, go ahead. It's your special day after all, and you must dress up the way you want!  

The most important day of your life requires you to look your very best. With you being the cynosure of all eyes, you must choose your clothes and jewellery with utmost care. Not just that, it is also vital that you wear just the right amount of jewellery that adds bling and complements your look.   However, as you must have faced, things aren’t as easy as they seem. Especially when you begin shopping, you’re often caught between what to choose and what to avoid. So, if you’ve already browsed through many Indian bridal jewellery sites and are unsure of what to pick, we have some inspiring ideas to get you on the right track.    The your-kind of look:  For those of you who want your personality to shine through the jewellery choices you make, there are designs available that do so. Instead of picking what’s popular, choose what is closest to your heart, and follow the beacon. This might result in unusual selections, but they can pay off well!   For example, if you’re the kind who loves flowers and pastel colours, opt for bridal jewellery that has those elements. Such jewellery is available in many colours and materials, so you can choose to complement your look and outfit.   If you’re the kind who holds on to heritage and tradition, then do check out pieces that your grandmother has perhaps worn and can be reused by you. These can be polished and revamped to serve you on your big day.   Checking out antique jewellery options that are inspired by the past is a great option too. Today, there are many options available online that you can pick from.    Choosing big vs. small: With many mind-boggling designs out there, one is often confused about whether to choose a chunky and large piece or a slender and small one. Here are a few aspects that can help you decide.   While it isn’t more about small vs. big, much lies in the kind of attire you wear and how well the piece complements your neckline. So, if you’re choosing between a heavy necklace and a light one, compare it with the neckline of your dress first.    If both seem to be looking good, then check which aspect you’d like to highlight. If you wish to showcase your designer sari, then that’s the element to focus on. On the other hand, if you’re more in love with the large piece of statement jewellery, then let it shine.  We also suggest a combination of huge pieces and small ones. So, while you could opt for slender jewellery for a couple of occasions, do go big and blingy for one of the events as well.    The combination look:    A common mistake many shoppers make is of buying pieces at different stores. A change in the colour of the metal or stone leads to a look that isn’t perfect. A few suggestions to avoid making a mistake is,   Buy your jewellery at one place, or keep your choices over one attire in similar colours to avoid a look that’s clashing.   You can also opt for combinations. Bridal jewellery usually involves buying necklaces in layers. Many brides like to opt for a look where a choker or a shorter necklace length is matched with longer necklaces. It often becomes challenging to find different necklaces that go together. If this is the case with you, too, then opt for the combination look. Here, designers at the store will set the combination of both short and long necklaces. All you then need to do is match the look with your attire.    Colour it right:    Buying jewellery that contrasts or complements your attire is extremely important. To ensure that you are on top of the style quotient, keep the following aspects in mind:   Matching your jewellery and attire is one of the most traditional ways to do it. This is always in fashion and will timelessly continue to be this way.   However, you don’t always need to buy jewellery that matches your attire. You can buy pieces that are a different colour and contrast the dress beautifully. Deep blue's look great against light greys, while bright yellow jewellery can add a pop of colour against dark shades like bottle green or black.   Buying jewellery that belongs to the same colour family also looks good. It can be a few shades lighter or a few shades darker. Green emeralds thus look lovely across a light green dress, adding life to your clothing and your jewellery.    However, if you’re dressing up in a neutral shade, you can go creative with your jewellery and choose colours that excite you.    Mix and match:  While you may have been told that platinum doesn’t go with the yellow metal, the times now are changing.   You can mix silver or platinum jewellery with gold pieces. What you do need to keep in mind is the complete look.   If you are unsure, then opt for support from jewellery designers. While the traditional look with gold jewellery does look good, designer wear is an excellent option for those who wish to add extra glam to their look. If planned well in advance, you can work with designers and find something to complement your ensemble.   However, if you’re short on time, you can choose one aspect of your jewellery as designer wear. Maang tika studded with stones or a Nath that complements your face shape are some superb options to go with.   The range:  Jewellery for Indian brides, usually means necklaces, bangles, anklets, and sometimes a waist belt. However, that’s not all there’s available.   Do check out for Juda pins and hair accessories that can bring glam into your look.   Also, while not all traditions have the Nath as must-have jewellery, you can always use it to add extra glamour to your look.   Be comfortable: Whatever you ultimately choose as your jewellery option, don’t overlook the comfort factor. Remember that you have to keep your jewellery on you for perhaps an entire evening, and you mustn’t be discomforted by the weight and sharp edges of the jewellery you wear.  

So your big day is around the corner, and you’re not sure of what jewellery to buy? Wedding is an important time for every girl. As you enter into a new bond, this occasion is both auspicious and special. With an Indian wedding, there’s much more involved, given the various ceremonies and occasions. You need to look your resplendent best, and we’re here to help you shine.  Buying Indian bridal jewellery is perhaps the most expensive element of bridal shopping. However, more often than not, many make the mistake of investing heavily in the wrong pieces. So, before you go and begin shopping, here are the 5 key things you need to keep in mind.  1. The various events Whether it be a Bengali wedding or a Tamilian one, each has its own set of many ceremonies. With the many events come many attires and jewellery sets to enhance your look. Brides often make the mistake of buying only one or two common pieces of jewellery. This goes with only one of two of the bridal attires, and one is often left repeating them, and at a loss on what to wear for other occasions.  So if you want to be the cynosure of all eyes, without burning a hole in your pocket, here’s the smart thing to do.  Chalk out the various events that you need to dress up for. So you may be looking at events such as a Mehendi, Sangeet,  Shaadi and a Reception. A Telugu wedding may also have events like ‘eduru sannahalu’ and ‘satyanarayan katha’.   Once you’ve charted out the various events, mark out what you’re planning to wear for each, and then shop for jewellery. 2. Make smart jewellery choices   Once you’re earmarked the events and calculated the number of sets you need, begin shopping. You can purchase one or two expensive pieces for the big day, however, make sure that the pieces are flexible to use.  Doing so in a smart manner would include,  Buying detachable jewellery: Such flexible jewellery ensures that you can detach a part and reuse it to give a fresh look. A detachable pendant that also goes on a simple chain is a great option. Buying flexible pieces: You can also opt for pieces with multiple uses. A long necklace that doubles up as a waistband is a popular option. Choosing the right gemstones: While diamonds can often push up prices, you can invest in pieces that use other less expensive gemstones instead. Jewellery material:Finally not everything needs to be gold and diamonds. Buying designer jewellery that uses hypo allergic materials is a great option. This ensures that your style quotient is high without burning a hole in your pocket. 3. Jewellery vs clothes: What comes first While it’s a popular doubt whether to buy your clothes first or your jewellery, Tarinika advises you to do a bit of both. So while you could invest in a statement jewellery piece and match clothes accordingly, you can also buy clothes and get them for your jewellery selection.  To do so in the smart way you must,  Look at jewellery that complements your clothes. Do not go all out and buy huge blingy pieces that will take the sheen away from you. Instead, opt for the right amount of grandeur that adds to your look.  Keep re-usability in mind too. While you may be tempted to buy thatreally fancy jewellery for your wedding, do remember that it may end up in a safe after the wedding is over. Many women often tend to get carried away with the pieces they buy for their wedding and are unable to use them again. So ensure that you buy pieces that can be worn for other occasions and have the flexibility for use.  4. Match it with your look The jewellery for your big day should complement and enhance your look. To do so you must keep aspects such as your face shape, neckline, colours of the wedding attires, the amount of embroidering and work on the garment, and even your hairstyle in mind.  To ensure that the jewellery you buy matches your look do consider,  Earrings:Check the hairdo you plan on your special day and whether the earrings would match the look. Ensure that your earrings are the right size to match the shape of your face. While an oval face is complemented by any kind of earrings, ensure length if your face is round. A heart-shaped face is better complemented by earrings that are wider at the bottom, such as a tear-drop shape Necklaces:While chokers look good on people with long slender necks, choose the length of your necklace to also enhance the look of your dress. A layered look may work well for most. If you intend to dress up in heavily embroidered garments, ensure that the jewellery is simple and vice versa. Choose the length of necklaces to complement your look. Other jewellery:While earrings and necklaces are most important,different wedding styles and cultures look for different jewellery. So while the maang tika is popular in some parts, others place emphasis on waistbands, armlets and naths. Ensure that whatever you buy complements your body type and your attire, making you look striking and beautiful. 5. Finally, work with a budget Last but not least, work out a budget. A well-planned budget can help you plan better and not go overboard with your purchasing. Earmark an amount that you intend to spend on jewellery. You can then buy something grand for the wedding day, and add a few simple sets for occasions like sangeet, mehndi and the reception.   If you are working on a tight budget you can also,  Look at rental options that allow you to rent jewellery for a day. Give a touch up to the heirloom pieces passed down to you. These will enhance your look beautifully. Compare prices and deals at online stores, to buy good looking jewellery at the lowest rates.
