| Bejewelled Hands: Rings, Bracelets and trivia |
Hey
beauties,today’s post will be a tad different from the general posts you see on
Elegant Eves. I was experimenting with certain stuff and this post is a result
of that. You shall see what!
But this Virgo
gets bored VERY easily :P Also, since the temperature is rising even in
Bangalore, it was time to do away with all silks and velvets and bring out the
much needed cottons! Thus, yesterday I came out of my comfort zone and ended up
with this look:

| Bejeweled Hands: Rings, Bracelets and trivia |
A boat-neck blouse made of
“bagru-print” cotton fabric, a pale pink Coimbatore cotton saree, messy bun, minimal
makeup (to let my skin breathe) and the “star of the show” this oval pink and
gold statement ring and a similar colored bracelet. I have skipped any
accessory on my ears or neck to keep these two as the centre of attention.

The earlier me
would have paired these kind of statement jewellery only with a well tailored
dress. But I do like how this combo turned out to be! What do you think?

Moving ahead, I
have an interesting trivia for you gals! :D Do you know what are “Aarsi” rings?
I was in search of an aarsi ring before my marriage, but sadly couldn’t source
one. Finally I have laid my hands on one and I am super excited :D Want to know
why?
An
Aarsi ring has its origin in Mughal times and is essentially an oversized ring
with a mirror in the centre. They were usually worn by brides on their thumbs
so that they could sneak a glance at their grooms :D How innovative of them!

Although we are WELL aware nowadays
whom we are marrying and who is sitting beside us in the mandap, the idea of sneaking a peek at our beloved’s face on our
rings is still a very romantic thought, isn’t it? I can see myself styling this
ring with sarees as well as with westerns :D

By now you must
be wondering from where I sourced these from? I came across this wonderful site
“Voylla.com” which stocks these unusual
pieces in their “Boutique” section. Check the section HERE.
The website is fully stocked up with jewellery and accessories of every kind
and as I said I am particularly fond of the Boutique section for their interesting
designs which honestly I didn’t come across in any other online shopping
portal. Prices are quite reasonable too and you will find a piece which suits
your pocket for sure! They also store accessories for your man and kids incase they love flaunting jewellery as well :D In a nutshell, it is ONE stop for all your jewellery needs!
We would also
LOVE to hear if you got any trivia about jewellery or your inhibitions about
wearing a certain kind :D Have any? Share!

Aparajita!
