How to Match Your Bridal Jewellery with Your Skin Tone & Saree Shade?

Rajakumari is one of the best destinations for Kerala Wedding jewellery. In this blog, we will explore this topic in more depth. The true magic happens when your jewellery harmonizes with two key elements: your innate skin tone and the shade of your beautiful bridal saree. Let's see how it is done. Marriage is a big function. For brides, it is very personal as they are the centre of attraction. They have to be perfect in all angles. Their outlook comprises saree, bridal sets, makeover, and hairstyle. Let's see how all these blend to create a visual harmony altogether.

What are the different types of Skin Tone?

Before you decide on the colour and design of your bridal attire, the first step is to determine your skin's undertone. We commonly refer to categories like "Indian skin tone" or "European skin colour," but these are broad generalizations. An individual's skin colour is a subtle shade, but the critical factor is its undertone, which falls into specific categories. Even within the same family, members can have different undertones. So, let's categorize skin undertones to simplify the process.

• Cool Undertone: Your skin has hints of pink, red, or blue. Veins on your wrist appear bluish-purple. You tend to look better in silver and white gold.
• Warm Undertone: Your skin has hints of yellow, peach, or gold. Your veins look more greenish. Gold jewellery typically makes your skin glow.
• Neutral undertone: You have a mix of both, and you’re lucky! Most metal colours will complement your skin beautifully.

 How do jewellery and skin tone align beautifully?

• For warm undertones, it is always best to embrace yellow gold. Its rich, warm hue complements the golden and peachy notes in the skin, creating a seamless, harmonious look.
• For the skin tone which are cool undertones, the white kind of jewellery pieces like silver, platinum, diamond set will align well. Examples can be polka, contemporary diamond jewellery, which can be your showstoppers.
• Those with a neutral undertone have a balanced base, allowing them to wear both warm and cool colours. Both yellow and white gold will suit them, and they can choose according to which metal best complements their overall look. For instance, rose gold, with its warm, pinkish hue, is incredibly flattering on neutral skin and offers a modern twist to traditional designs. Remember, these are just guidelines to consider.

How to select attire for the big day to match the bridal jewellery?

There was a period when bridal attire was designated to be red, temple-inspired, or royal in look. But nowadays, people have a lot more exposure. The main aim is to create a cohesive look that should feel authentic to the individual and reflect their identity:  

1. For Ivory, Champagne and pastel sarees:

This is a beige colour therefore to create contrast it would be stunning to match with Kundan and Polki in yellow shade. The regal contrast against the pastel brings a balance of the saree. A diamond or pearl necklace on a white gold setting will make it eternal and basic.

2. For bright andred brides:

The red saree itself will act as grandeur without overpowering it. Red is a colour that can be experienced with any type of jewellery. For a traditional temple inspired look gold can be considered. If you are trying it with diamond or white gold collection. It will bring a reception look.

3. Royal blue, eternal green, Purple:

This seems a very earthy colour and it is quite a less explored, traditional sets can sometimes overwhelm a light-coloured saree. Opt for lighter, more intricate designs. Also antique collection will align perfectly. Modern brides often opt for these softer, non-traditional shades. The jewellery approach here should be more delicate and intentional.

4. Blush Pink, Mint Green, Sky Blue:

Pearl strings, or a delicate diamond choker with matching drop earrings, add sophistication without the weight. This is also a great opportunity to wear statement Jhumkas. This colour will compliment when it is lighter and more intricate designs.

FACTORS TO CONSIDER WHILE CHOOSING A BRIDAL SET

Budget: Consider it to be anyone's most important factor in buying a piece of jewellery; it will always be money. The budget must be well planned and a detailed study should be done before buying a bridal set. The pattern, number of pairs of each accessory must be planned in advance to calculate the estimate of the budget that comes around for the purchase of the bridal set.

Personal style: When talking about the bridal set, it clearly means who wears it. The personal style of the bride reflects the choice of the set she chose. Some prefer to be heavily adorned, whereas some choose to be minimal. Some prefer it to be traditional or some prefer contemporary.

Occasion: Bridal sets always happen at the event of the marriage ceremony. The choice between traditional or contemporary is proportionally related to the attire the brides wear. The accessories they choose should align well with the costume.

Value: If it is traditional or contemporary bridal sets. each of them carries sentimental value, financial value and meeting the custom and culture.
