All that glitters is not gold, and rightly so. You can make illusion pieces in a diamond ornament by using gemstones. How about using sapphires instead of yellow diamonds or using beads in your gold necklace instead of links or chains. Intelligent placing of gemstones and beads can not only help cut cost but also give a voluminous look.

Your beautiful wedding adornments can be modular also. You can ask your jeweler to make detachable pendant which can be, in future, used with a plain gold chain. You can even tell him to make ear drops which can be converted to studs or make a bracelet which can have changeable gemstones. In this way you can use your bridal jewellery for post-wedding occasions as well as regular wear.
