How to Choose Mangalsutra for the Wedding? – Tips and Techniques

Mangalsutra is an essential piece of jewellery for married Hindu ladies as it signifies that the lady has entered marital bliss. It is the most important accessory as it is considered as a jewellery piece that saves the couple from evil eyes. The mangalsutra designs vary from state to state with the pendant changing forms while the black beads and gold remains the constant. Now days, there are various forms and designs of mangalsutra that make it a beautiful as well as fashionable piece of accessory.

Mangalsutra designs – choose what pleases you! 
Well, choosing a mangalsutra or any piece of jewellery solely depends on your idea of that particular jewel. In addition, it depends on how you want to wear it. For example, a married housewife would choose a simple design for wearing it regularly while go for a bigger neck piece for occasions. You can have two designs so as to manage routine as well as functions.

A working woman normally prefers smaller design which blends easily with their dress code and is seamless when worn on daily basis. A smaller pendant with few beads separated by and a thin gold chain would add to their office style.

Diamond or gold – which one to choose? 
Diamond has been an evergreen choice for women since ages. Women love to flaunt diamonds in their rings, necklaces, bangles and ear rings as there is something special and sparkling about diamonds which no other jewels has. Diamond mangalsutras are a trend which has never gone out of fashion and you can choose some of the classy designs of the jewellery pieces that give away your royalty and status. The shine of the pendant itself will speak of the grandeur and splendour.

The best part about diamond mangalsutra is that they come in variety of designs, from a small stud woven in beaded chain to big pendants with ethnic to trendy designs. You can choose the design as per your wish. However, if you choose smaller solitaire design then you can wear it around your wrist as a bracelet if you are not fond of displaying it around the neck.



Contrary to this, one can wear only gold mangalsutra, which come in diverse designs. You will find them for daily use, office accessory, occasional jewellery or a royal ornament; gold mangalsutra would suit every real time event and occurrence. You can also buy signature pieces of mangalsutra designs from jewellers across your city or can get it customised as per your wishes.

Presenting Paisleys and Mongo's with the Mankolam Collection

All about Paisley, this is the right season to fall in love with this Mango shaped motif. Well here are the reasons what made us adore paisley’s and why we are celebrating it with the MANKOLAM collection.



Back in the days – Paisley’s are authentic Indian art that have been around since the 17th century and have inspired designing and fashion in a huge way. We say it’s time to go back to our roots and explore the Paisley theme. Our designs for the MANKOLAM collection are inspired by the aesthetics of the beautiful ethnic mango shape composition.



Summer style – The heat we agree is high this year and amidst the scorching sunrays we bring to you special designs that shine just as bright. Keeping jewellery to a minimal is a good choice, avoiding them completely is not. While summer is the season for pin-up hair and crop tops, contrast patterns popular during the Victorian Era too sounds fascinating doesn’t it?



Office wear – You might have a long day at work but that shouldn’t stop you from looking your best and, simple is the way to go when you match jewellery with professional attire. Go for stud earrings and a silent but unique ring or a necklace that makes solo jewellery stunning. We suggest mankolam choices for office wear here

Jewelry from Mankolam collection makes ethnic look haute and are sprightly new designs you should be sporting at all those wedding shenanigans.

All you need to know about Diamond shopping!

Here are the C’s that you should look for when buying a diamond.



Cut – 
Optical Properties define the beauty of a diamond.



 Clarity – The presence or absence of inclusions determine the clarity.



Color – It’s not about the color, it’s about the Lack of it.



Carat weight – Carats is how weight of diamonds and gemstones are measured.


Certification – Put your trust in Certificates; accept only renowned and unbiased IGI or GIA certificates.


Comparison - We want you to shop at Caratstyle but we also want you to know what we are selling is the best, so look in a lot of places before making the buy. 

The diamond purchasing checklist…


Do your homeworkBe prepared and know what is it that you are looking for, it’s okay to browse through and then select but at least have an idea of what you are looking for because you absolutely do not want to end up with the wrong diamond.

Buy from a certified jeweller only You obviously do not want to be duped, go only to a certified jeweler selling precious jewellery and providing appropriate certificates for them.
Take your timeInvesting in a diamond is not something you’d do every day so decide carefully. 
Invest in the stone The quality or the value of the stone itself never diminishes, the setting or design trends will change but the stone is constant. Buy something you know you can still flaunt a couple years down the line.
Set a Budget While it’s good to check out everything out there make sure you know what your requirements are.  Set a budget and keep it lower than your final number so if you have to, you could splurge.
Know the importance of certification Only accept certified jewellery and certificates from acclaimed laboratories like IGI and GIA, remember that the gold your Diamond is set on should be BIS hallmarked too.
Compare, Compare and Compare Before you purchase the diamond make sure you compare other jewelers and similar designs elsewhere
