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 happier 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 in black. But with the passage of time everything is changing with fashions. White would not always be there in the scene of happy moments in near future. I am saying so because deep colors like blue, green are also coming into the scene of fashion in happier events like a wedding.
Despite the fact that black implies dark and grief, yet it is in happy fashion. Go through the latest collection of any fashion designer at Milan you would find black in a good amount. Though wedding dresses are not made in black yet, wedding jewellery has crossed this line. Earlier and till late 90s wedding jewellery was accustomed to the color white only. Other lighter shades like yellow, pink and royal blue were also used up to a good amount. But gradually it is changing. We can say that this change in preference is in a direction as – white –> white + light colors -> white + all the available colors along with black.
Can Wedding jewellery in black give you that gracious look bestowed by white! Well! You better ask this question to sexy Hollywood actress Carmen Electra. She was the first to introduce a black wedding jewellery into the wedding fashion dictionary. She sported a two carat rose shaped Black Diamond and platinum engagement ring. She sported this black diamond studded engagement ring in front of media and the black use of black came white to fashion of wedding. Since then, most of the stores are considering black and other colors for their wedding jewellery section. From a black pearl to even an amethyst, wedding jewellery of current fashion 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 act of differentiation. Refer to the ‘Brides’ magazine’s November issue of 2008 which says 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 diamond. This black diamond designed ring by Karen Karch was supposed to become a revolutionary idea in wedding jewellery segment. But it failed. No black and other color can occupy the place that white have among the wedding designs whether it’s the wedding gown or any wedding jewellery.
