Mandatory Bridal Jewellery
A wedding is the most special day for any lady in her lifetime. A lady always wants to make her Big Day very special with her best looks. Therefore giving special attention to the dressing and jewellery is a common thing among the brides. Apart from that, being in the best dress in wedding is the tradition/custom prevailing worldwide, regardless of taste, culture, society, nationality and religion. The wedding dress whether it is a western wedding gown with pearl earrings, or an Indian traditional red coloured Sari with gold tiaras, or a Vietnamese Ao Dai in colour red or a Japanese wedding Kimono; it should be the best dress that someone possesses in a lifetime. So, worldwide an acclamation of a very good, once in a lifetime type of wedding dress is always there for the brides. There is one more thing that comes into the scene of a bridal wear, which is the bridal jewellery. Like the wedding dress, bridal jewellery also plays a vital role in the wedding ceremony. Whether you attend a western wedding or an eastern wedding, you would always notice the bride with beautiful pearl earrings or diamond earrings along with a pearl or diamond necklace. The range of bridal jewellery covers items like necklaces, tiaras and headpieces, earrings and bracelets. There are a few more things available in a range of bridal jewellery. These are the hairclips, hairpins, headbands, etc. So, altogether the total combination of a bridal jewellery set comprises a long list of items. Among them necklace is on the top of the list.
Traditionally in western countries, pearls are preferred wedding choice. Pearl earrings, pearls necklaces, pearl tiara and even a pearl bracelet would commonly accompany the bride in a western wedding ceremony. Traditionally the pearl earrings, pearls necklaces or say the set of pearls jewellery is offered by the father of the bride or the groom. This tradition of giving pearls jewellery for wedding represents love for the daughter. It is believed that the most followed tradition in western countries of gifting pearls jewellery started in India many years back, when a father dived into the sea bed of Gulf of Mannar and collected pearls for his daughter. Though this tradition started from India, the use of pearl in bridal jewellery is very much less in India in comparison to western countries. Instead of pearl, gold jewelleries are most widely preferred in India and other Asian countries. But there are some deep forest and hill tribes in India who traditionally make their wedding jewelleries from animal skins and bones along with gold made jewelleries. If you ask about pearl earrings as bridal jewellery to those tribes you may be astonished to see that they even don’t know about the fact that pearls can be used in jewelleries. It is because in most of the Asian countries there were monarchy and the collection of pearl and pearls jewellery whether it is a pearl earring or a pearl necklaces was strictly limited to the royal family only.
But regardless of all these facts, whether someone uses the pearl earrings as bridal jewellery or not; the use of jewellery would always be there in any wedding.
