New Delhi: Monsoon weddings offer a unique opportunity to embrace jewellery that complements the season's charm. With your gorgeous lehenga or saree or maybe a gown, there always has to be the perfect jewellery to complete your look. But, what if you are someone who prefers indo-western outfits or maybe an all-in-all Western outfit for a wedding? You too can get that chic look that will make heads turn at the ceremony by just adding a minimalist piece of jewellery maybe.

But, this rainy weather may make you think twice about your jewellery choices. It's better to go for water-resistant durable pieces like platinum, gold or diamond jewellery with sturdy clasps to withstand the rainy weather. Delicate yet statement pieces like nature-inspired motifs, floral designs, gemstones or lightweight earrings add an elegant touch. Try to avoid heavy jewellery or harsh materials that may get damaged by rain and humidity.

​Kind Of Jewellery Pieces Suitable For Monsoon:

During monsoon, imitation, silver and Kundan jewellery tends to get tarnished or change colour due to the humidity. The moisture in the air reacts with the metal components of the jewellery, leading to oxidation or chemical reactions that alter its appearance. What works best for this season are water-resistant durable pieces like platinum and gold, studded with diamonds over any other metal, as diamond doesn't lose its lustre underwater nor does it fade.

Since the monsoon season offers a vibrant spectacle of colours, with shades of lilac, yellows, greens, and blooming flowers, women can embrace this opportunity to make a statement by adorning themselves with beautiful gemstone jewellery. 

According to Cherry Sahni, Creative Head & Co-Founder of Diamondtree, "It is best to go minimal and wear jewellery that doesn't cling to the body to avoid sweating. One can wear long necklaces instead of chokers for intimate occasions. When attending a wedding as a guest, chandelier earrings can be an elegant choice. You can go bare on the neck and let the earrings captivate the attention. One can also opt for either single-line bangles or flexible tennis bracelets for their hands, which will add a touch of grace to your ensemble."

Monsoon weddings have a unique charm, surrounded by the beauty of nature's lush greenery and gentle showers. But, if you are the bride and are wondering what would look best with your gorgeous lehenga or saree, here are a few suggestions suggested by Pawan Gupta, Founder of PP Jewellers, that will make your work easy.

• Lightweight and Comfortable Earrings: Opt for delicate yet stunning earrings that won't weigh you down during the monsoon festivities. Consider studs or small drops with gemstones or diamonds to add a subtle sparkle without being overly extravagant.
• Statement Necklaces: Monsoon weddings call for eye-catching pieces that stand out even in cloudy weather. A carefully crafted statement necklace with floral or nature-inspired motifs can add a touch of drama and elegance to your attire.
• Waterproof and Sturdy Bangles: To ensure your jewellery withstands the occasional raindrops, choose bangles or bracelets made from waterproof materials like gold, platinum, or waterproofed silver. These will keep their shine throughout the celebrations.
• Adjustable Rings: Monsoon can sometimes cause our fingers to swell due to the humidity. Consider adjustable rings or those with an open design to ensure a comfortable fit.
• Pearl Perfection: Embrace the monsoon's essence with the timeless beauty of pearls. Pearls exude sophistication and grace and are an ideal choice for monsoon weddings.
• Anklets and Toe Rings: Highlight your feet with dainty anklets and toe rings, as they create a charming and feminine touch that perfectly complements the monsoon vibe.
• Maang Tikka with a Twist: Opt for a maang tikka with playful and nature-inspired elements that embrace the season's spirit, such as floral patterns or raindrop motifs. 

In addition to these, Milind Mathur, director & partner at Kohinoor Jewellers suggested Enamel-coated or painted jewellery to add a pop of colour and withstand the humidity and dampness associated with monsoons. Along with it, gold-plated or silver jewellery is also a great option as they tend to be more resistant to tarnishing and are suitable for monsoon weddings. Just make sure to keep them dry after use. 

Jewellery Options To Pair Your Indo-Western Attire:

Unisex and quirky jewellery offers a delightful fusion of designs, materials, and versatility. For the monsoon's unpredictability, opt for materials like sterling silver, gold and diamonds ensuring durability and resistance to moisture. Embrace the rain's enchantment with raindrop-inspired pendants, whimsical brooches that add a touch of playfulness, or rings and earrings that twinkle like rain-kissed gems. 

"From the vibrant mehndi ceremony to the elegant reception, unisex and quirky jewellery finds perfect harmony with every wedding attire. Let each piece become an extension of your personality, making a statement that speaks volumes about your unique style," said Hardik Mangla, Founder of Demi Luxe.
