2. Before everything check out your family heirloom jewellery 

Most of our mommies and grannies own a lot of antique jewellery pieces that can be very well put to re-use as your bridal jewellery. Maybe not as it is, but with a few changes here and there. So, don’t forget to give their royal chests a thorough check. You never know which piece might just match with your attire.

3. Decide on a budget and don’t go beyond that

If you don’t want to end up spending all your money on your bridal jewellery, be smart and set a budget for the same. This way you will not only cut down on that extra & unnecessary expense but also be able to splurge lavishly on your wedding outfits instead.

4. Investment or Luxury: What is the motive behind your purchase?

In case, you want to keep your bridal jewellery as an added investment for later, prefer pure gold over anything else. However, if it’s not for investment purpose & merely a luxuriant splurge, you don’t have to be this choosy and buy anything that quenches your thirst.

5. Buy your jewellery from trusted jewellers 

Make sure you buy your bridal jewellery only from a trusted jeweller and not from any random local jeweller. They can easily be relied upon for authentic and quality products. Also, whenever you’re buying your jewellery don’t forget to check if it is hallmarked or not. Lastly, do ask for a cash memo after your purchase in case of any exchange or returns in future.

6. Opt for two or more smaller necklaces over a heavier one

It’s completely okay if you don’t want to buy a bulky or an all decked up jewellery set to team with your lehenga. You can always pick up necklaces in different sizes and then wear them together without feeling weighed down. As an added benefit, you’ll also be able to wear those necklaces individually on different occasions giving you an all new different look each time.

7. Get your jewellery customized as per your needs

After digging deeper, if you still fail to find anything that matches your taste & preferences, you can even get your bridal jewellery customized from a good jeweler. Even though he would charge you a few extra bucks for the customizations but it’ll definitely be worth the money spent.

8. Go for classics

While jewellery shopping, always keep in mind that you’re not buying anything that you know you won’t wear later. Stick to classic jewellery designs like the evergreen kundan princess necklaces or those timeless broad stranded polki matha pattis. However, if you like experimenting, go for anything unique & offbeat.

9. First things first! Buy your jewellery before buying your wedding lehenga

Confused about whether to buy your jewellery or your lehenga first? Well, we would suggest you to pick your jewellery first. One, it’s a huge investment. Two, you will not have to worry about your blouse neckline going wrong.

10. Select something that best suits your face shape and skin tone

Apart from keeping your wedding attire in mind, it’s also equally imperative to take your face shape and skin tone into consideration while jewellery shopping. After all, it’s not necessary that the majestic bib necklace that Deepika donned on her wedding will suit you just as much as it did to her. So, it’s better to first know which necklace type, whether an aadh or a collar, will best suit your face shape & skin tone.
