Just ask yourself this silly question, can you wear black on your wedding? Surely you got the answer to be a big NO.
Black is always the preferred color to mourn. A funeral is the occasion where you can imagine yourself in black, not in a wedding. A wedding is supposed to be a sacred and happy moment and the commonly preferred color for wedding is white. Whether it’s the wedding gown, dress of the bridesmaid or the wedding jewelleries worn, they are preferred not to be black. But with the passing of time everything is changing with fashions. White would not always be there in the scene of happy moments in the future. I am saying so because darker colors like blue, green are also coming into the scene of wedding fashion.
Despite the fact that black traditionally implies dark and grief, yet it has now gradually starting to represent elegance and fortune. Earlier and till late 90s wedding jewellery was accustomed to the color white only – usually white freshwater pearls. Going through the latest collection of any fashion designer at Milan you would often find the colour black. Lately the fashion of the daring black wedding dress came into the picture and black coloured wedding jewellery is also adopted to go with such trend. In more often cases, the bride chooses a style of wedding gown that combines both black and white, allowing the contrast of colours better outlining their curves. A very beautiful creation consists of a beautiful traditional white wedding gown accompanied with a large black bow around the waist, then further bringing out the contrast by a black pearl necklace and black pearl ear studs.
Can black wedding jewellery give you that gracious look bestowed by white ones? Well – You better ask this question to Hollywood sex symbol Carmen Electra. She was the first to introduce black wedding jewellery into wedding fashion. She spoted a two carat rose shaped Black Diamond and platinum engagement ring. She showed off this black diamond studded engagement ring in front of media and the use of black came right into fashion of wedding. Since then, most of the stores are considering black and other colors for their wedding jewellery section. From black pearl to even magnetite, current fashion wedding jewellery covers almost all of them. Use of blue turquoise, zircon stones, citrine stones, agate stones, pink jade etc. is also seen in modern fad and fashion of wedding jewellery. These stores are also considering different ranges of zirconium touched wedding jewelleries. Black zirconias, faux are also there in their section of wedding jewellery. So, celebrities play a vital role in popularizing some unexpected trends like black by Electra in wedding jewellery. Also the fashion magazines are equally responsible for some similar acts of differentiation. Refer to the ‘Brides’ magazine’s November issue of 2008 which stated that black in wedding jewellery and others are very effective in a traditional setting. This issue of Brides magazine was actually promoting a rose cut three stoned black diamond ring with a circle of white diamond across the centre. This black diamond designer ring by Karen Karch was supposed to be a revolutionary idea in wedding jewellery world. Wedding fashion and wedding jewellery are bond to become more and more diversified.
