Art Karat's New Aishwarya Collection

For those of you unfamiliar with Art Karat, their jewelry is crafted in silver then plated in 22karat gold and daintily bejeweled with precious and semi-precious stones.  It makes it a slightly cheaper version of a pure gold set .  I say slightly because Art Karat items are really "art" pieces and are priced accordingly. They also come with a lifetime warranty, to be expected when you are paying $1420 to $7900 for a complete set that may become tarnished.

Art Karat brought out a new Aishwarya collection a few weeks back.  Its gorgeous.  They covered the 3 biggest love story movies starring the former Miss World; Devdas, Umrao Jaan and Jodha Akbar.  All set in the early 1900s in India.  A time of opulence and grace when women were expected to wear vast amounts of gold to show their social status. Hence these pieces are perfect for a traditional classic-style wedding.  You can't get better than  a traditional piece of kundan.  One of my favorite pieces in this collection is this jodha akbar ring.  Very classic looking. 




Another favorite is the borla - a round hair piece that isn't seen on many brides these days.  It sits at the hair line similar to a mattha patti (minus the chains).  A stunningly unique accessory for the classic bride.  If your getting married and you have an outfit with old gold colored embroidery, this could make you the most talked about bride this year. 

Check out Art Karat's  collections.  Well worth it for a unique piece.
