It’s the special day and everyone wants to look their best. Right from the dress they wear to the footwear, the wedding venue has people glittering away. A common mistake that people generally do is that they give maximum importance to the dress worn by them. After that the importance level is on a decline. As in, some people completely forget to pay much attention in choosing the right jewellery. The right piece of jewellery can highlight the beauty of your dress and your personality. A mistake here can make even make Armani’s suit look like a rag. So pay equal amount of attention in choosing your wedding jewellery.
Choosing the wedding jewellery
Before you decide what jewellery you want to wear for the wedding, let us have a look at what are the likely precious metals that could make a great piece of jewellery. Let us start with gold. Gold has been for ages, associated with good luck and is believed to symbolize durability. Brides in countries in many south Asian countries are dressed in gold on the auspicious day of their wedding. It is believed to keep their marriage happy and successful. Gold as a gift to the married couple is also considered to be ideal.
Gold’s purity is usually measured in karats. The purest form of gold is graded twenty four karat. However this form of gold is unfit for making any jewellery because it is not malleable and ductile enough to be shaped and set into intricate works of art. Even slight bending or beating will break the gold. Hence some amount of other metals and alloys are added to strengthen the gold to make it fit for shaping. Usually metals like copper are added to strengthen gold. Depending on the fraction of pure gold available in the metal used for making the ornament, it could be rated eighteen karat or twenty four karat gold.
Whether it is a tiara, a brooch, necklace or a ring, gold would be a good choice for the wedding jewellery. There are plenty of designs in which the ornament can be shaped. If you are not satisfied with the designs present in the store’s catalogue, you can even order a jewel piece in the design of your choice. Making charges may raise the price of the art piece. But, wedding being a once in a lifetime occasion, it is worth all the money spent. If your creative juices aren’t lending a helping hand to you, take the help of fashion magazines. Look at what Angelina Jolie wore for a movie premiere and you could ask your jeweler to copy that design for you.
Platinum
Platinum is one of the purest and one of those rare elements that are found on earth. The rareness makes them more exclusive and elegant. Platinum is usually coupled with diamonds to make beautiful ornament pieces. Both platinum and diamond complement each other and result in unique wedding jewellery. Platinum symbolizes the celebration and glory that goes with the wedding. The purity associated with platinum makes it even more apt for the wedding. Platinum jewellery adds the extra bit of glitter to the person wearing the piece.
Platinum is usually used in its purest form. It is also heavier than any other ornamental metal. Sleek platinum necklaces with tear drop pendants and tear drop diamond studs set in platinum looks great on a white wedding dress. A platinum wedding ring too would look fabulous. Such jewellery can be worn with any dress. So the use of your platinum jewellery does not end with the wedding day. Platinum is strong and forms the perfect setting and support for the diamonds. Being one of the rarest elements, it is more expensive than other materials used for jewellery. Platinum offers good resistance against temperature and moisture. It is very durable and can easily be maintained. In other words, platinum like the wedding lasts forever. |
