Decide the Necklace Type by Length & Style

Diamonds have always been graced and featured in Indian jewellery as they radiate brilliance and captivating allure. For the longest time, at weddings, diamonds have symbolised wealth, prosperity, love and the sacred union of two individuals, starting the new beginnings of their lives. While diamonds complement every outfit, especially colourless diamonds, before you select a piece that has your heart, you need to understand the different necklace types by length and style – so selecting them becomes a tad bit easier. 

  • Collar

True to its name, a collar-style necklace fits snugly around your neck. These necklaces are perfect if your reception outfit has an off-shoulder neckline. If you choose this, the necklace will create the illusion of a long and slender neck to bring the viewer’s attention to the upper half of your body.

  • Choker

Don’t worry; this necklace style doesn’t really choke anyone! A necklace like this is worn closer to the base of your neck. If your reception outfit has a sweetheart neckline, a choker-style necklace can be your go-to choice.

  • Princess

This necklace style suits all outgoing and bold brides who love experimenting with outfits. So, for instance, if you are going with a low-cut blouse or a halter-neck blouse, a princess-style necklace will perfectly add the finishing touch to your ensemble. 

  • Matinee

The matinee necklaces are longer than princess-style necklaces by at least 10 or 20 centimetres. This necklace suits almost every neckline, so there are no hard and fast rules when it comes to styling matinee-style necklaces. Let your imagination run wild and pair it with your reception outfit.

Extra Sparkle Never Hurts

We are Indians, and we love everything sparkly, especially the jewellery we wear on our big day. Wedding jewellery should always be blingy and sparkly and that is a given fact. You are the bride and deserve to be the centre of attention. What better way to get everyone’s attention than with diamond necklaces? 

  • Solitaire Necklaces for the Win

A solitaire necklace features a pendant with a single stone placed in the centre. It is one of the most classic styles that has stood the test of time and remains a favourite amongst everyone. Solitaire necklaces feature various shapes like hearts, pears, ovals, rounds and so on. If you are a bride who wants to ditch traditional temple jewellery, we suggest you opt for something more minimalistic and simple, like a solitaire necklace.

  • Trendy Tennis Necklaces

A tennis necklace is a combination of several diamonds that are set in a single row. Being a versatile fashion statement piece that complements any outfit, it is the perfect jewellery choice for brides who are looking for a piece that is trendy yet comfortable at the same time.
