The Best Indian Bridal Jewelry

Anything made of brass Brass was not available when I was a youngster, so I grew up thinking of it as something exotic and unusual. I love it both polished and with a patina. It compliments my skin tone in a way that no other metal does.

2.Anything made of bronze Bronze is a wonderful color accent to the skin tone of the hands and face. Plus it makes me think of The Bronze Age and the sword and sorcery stories I used to read as a kid. Wearing bronze and brass jewelry makes me feel like an exotic beauty who just stepped out of an old pulp adventure novel.

3.Anklets I’m a modest dresser with a very covered up clothing style. All that’s out most of the time is hands, head, and feet. A loose or draped garment needs an ankle bracelet and a pair of sandals. As a sexy look, it beats any skimpy swimsuit hands down!

4. Toe rings Another must-have piece for the draped outfit. For a toe ring I like a stone that compliments rather than matches the tone of my outfit. If I’m wearing blue, for instance, I like to go with a bright blue stone. Bangle bracelets I hate to keep using the word “exotic” but I don’t know what other term applies to those of us who don’t look like Suzy Creamcheese. I like to keep a collection of the small bangle bracelets. Wear a few for everyday or an armful when I want to look like “wow!”

5. Big cuff bracelets These make me feel like a superhero! I’m particularly fond of chunky cuff bracelets that have a stamped or hammered pattern.

6. Choker neck pieces They say these only look good on people with long necks, but I think they work with a round face and head, too.

7. Big stones The aesthetics of jewelry always come first for me. Don’t get me wrong — I like gold, sterling and precious stones as much as the next woman — but there’s a way of feeling opulent that has nothing to do with cost. I like big pieces of glass in blue, orange and red tones. I love a pin or necklace that puts together unusual color combinations. There are so many kinds of beautiful mineral materials in the world, why stick to just a few?

8. Dangling earrings Love the look of dangling earrings, especially if they have a geometric or asymmetrical shape.

9. Artisan pieces Again, a pin or bracelet doesn’t have to be pricey to be art. The worth is in the hand of the artist, no the price tag. Some of my favorite items are things made from everyday objects or materials.

10.Nose rings It has been a while since I wore these, now that I’m wrinkled, but I love the look of them, particularly the diamond solitaire or a trio design (like the pawnbroker sign). Facial piercings have become a popular fad item with any and everybody, but for some reason the simple nose ring, which actually enhances the female face, has not caught one.
