    @iamsrihere all the best. A good traditional nose ring can cost 5k for a small one. I bought it recently for my dd. Try with nose ring if you wear one or a ring. I love rings.

    This is a clover ear ring i brought two year back and it set me back by 42k. The asking price was 46 and we negotiated it to 42. It is a close setting .i look for somethign different than the regular 7 stones

    Loved the nose ring @Shanvy. This design will be perfect for daily use ear-rings too.

    Looks beautiful Yes this is the kind iam looking for earrings. I dont wear nose rings,so want to try earrings only.

    I have a doubt.The ones i see in Tanishq costs lesser than 25k for most designs.So what would be different in them?

    My mom's generation, they were worried about diamonds due to dosham/bad luck to the family. Only specific community ladies used to wear, and it wasn't popular in rural Southern India.

    At least 10-15 years ago, diamond became popular. Instead of Gold, younger generation preferred to use platinum/diamond settings because it looked different and doesn't look 'yellowish', flashy; Wear something little/small and look classy.

    The story of 'blood diamond' is true due to mining/slavery involved; it brought up awareness due to it's increased demand in the market. It is true for any precious stones/metal.

    If you buy diamond from reputable place, it should be fine. Enjoy, diamond will not bring any bad luck!

    Jag this is my everyday earrings. I love to try different patterns other than the regular 7 stones. That is too big for a nose ring.

    I do. Both the traditional thodu for imp events with the jhumky or a small one for daily use. I don't know about luck but yes buying diamonds was/is an elaborate affair in my family. First amma chooses a good day to go the jeweller (we can go window shopping all we want) but the sale will not be finalized until amma decrees it a good day . Once we get it home it will be placed near the perumal until its first use....which is usually for an imp occasion (wedding /upanayanam etc ) where there is a homam . Diamond is considered to be a powerful stone and the belief is that the mantram chanted during that time will rid the diamond of any dosham. I don't buy that logic. It gives my mom an enormous peace of mind so I just let her have her way.
