Ever walked past a wedding guest and seen something totally alien looking on their head and go "WHATS THAT". Well, relax it doesn't bite (though some of them look like they would) - its only the new age , offbeat jewellery that is taking the wedding world by storm people.
We are here to give your accessory box a little twist. It's time to put your usual chandbali's and kundan mangtika's on hold and make a bold statement with these edgy and offbeat jewelery ideas!
Ear Cuffs
They've been around for a while but are mostly associated with western outfits. But if you scout around a little, you'll come across a variety of ear cuffs that are just as good to wear with your anarkali's and saree's as well.
