Wedding Jewellery collection from Bhima Jewellers

  Bhima Jewellery - they opened their doors fairly recently in Chennai and already, most of Chennai's jewellery loving crowd is swearing by their lovely collections. Their range of wedding jewellery is truly breathtaking - what with antique jewellery, the diamond vivaha collection and their own in house collections.

The name 'antique jewels' is a little misleading - the pieces are not actual antique  pieces from the days of yore; the designs have been crafted from age-old dyes and patterned after ancient jewellery pieces. These pieces are heavy and ornate; the size of the pieces is also a little bit bigger than the usual jewellery pieces. The prices vary according to the weight of the gold used as well as the intricacy of the jewellery design. One pair of earring can cost even Rs.25,650! Necklaces, bracelets, ear rings, rings - the whole lineup is available in this range, along with the Kundan range of jewels. Kundan jewellery comes from Rajkot and is characterised by the white stones that are set in the pieces.

The Bhima collection uses lots of ethnic Kerala designs, which are a  lot different from the traditional designs found in the city.These are a throw-off from the royal Kerala jewellery and are made using green stones.

The decising factor when it comes to buying jewellery is design - design plays the vital role and patrons, more often than not, go over their pre-set budget if the pieces catch their fancy. Long necklaces, bangles - with or without stones, rings, anklets are all the favourite pieces bought by the fairer sex. The latest trend these days is to wear golden anklets and metti - but this isn't much approved by the traditional Tamilians, who are against wearing golden anklets, metti etc.

This wedding season, Calcutta jewellery is in - these pieces are more intricate in nature and the design patterns and workmanship has caught the fancy of one and all. The gold colour also looks brighter in Calcutta jewellery.

The De Beers' range of diamond vivaha jewellery is also available here, much to shopper's delight. According to Mr.Kiran, the shop gets new pieces every day - so the patrons needn't be disappointed, when they come in looking for new and excclusive designs.
