How i Found My Wedding Set
When i was getting married, we didn’t really go hunting a great deal for my jewellery. In our family, the jewellery is gifted by our maama (mums brothers) …so one day my maami called me saying she had seen some really pretty sets , and gold was starting to touch new highs so it was better that we buy it for my wedding as soon as possible. She had seen some sets that she loved but all were expensive -around the 7-8 lakh mark.
After we did a quick roundup of the usual suspects in Delhi- M.Rajsons, Khanna, Mehrasons, Surana etc I pretty much liked every second thing I saw (I was like Oooooh Shinnnyyyy) but my mom still remembered one set she had seen in a local jewellers house. That was the first set she had seen just as my Roka had happened and she still remembered it and soon enough dragged me along to see it. When I first saw it was like meh! Its ok. But as soon as she draped it on my neck I just loved the simplicity and elegance and classy-ness of it. I hadnt even bought my lehenga yet, but I knew it was the sort of universal set that would go with everything so i didnt even bother! Infact my mum and the jeweller insisted i change the pearls in the set to rubies so that it looked more bridal, so i agreed. But when it came with the rubies it just lost its charm for me so I had it re-done in pearls. Then my maami called and INSISTED that i get a real maang tikka matching with it so I did, and im glad i did because now i use all the components of the set so many times. I didnt really care too much for jewellery before I got married, but I think its one of the laws of the universe that you get drawn to expensive royal baubles around your neck as soon as you become a bride !!!
