The Evolution of Modern Mangalsutras in Indian Weddings

What does marriage mean to you? All the hype that we created around love finding one place of closure? The event that we planned on and on bringing forth the realness of what follows a wedding?

If you're someone who went through the cycles of, is a mangalsutra binding to wanting to wear a cultural symbol of matrimony and then going on a quest to pick a piece that truly matches your lifestyle, we see what you're looking for and we've designed mangalsutras to match the modern, minimalistic lives you lead.

Here are five aspects of style that we focus on to help you move away from the traditional choices and help you choose the perfect modern mangalsutra.

1. Fusion of Traditions and Trends

The Mangalsutra is afterall a piece of jewellery steeped in tradition, and while the current trend towards minimalism and jewellery that sits subtly complementing various outfits has taken over, it is also currently the trend for women to look back at their roots, embrace designs that are a part of historical craftsmanship and pair them together. For the women who like to take this best of both worlds approach, our minimal modern mangalsutra designs include some definite gems that are sure to make you happy.

Choose from our collection of modern mangalsutra which also reflect a sense of traditional design:

2. Mastery in Minimalism

Decluttering, embracing the quietness and holding close only as much as makes sense to one's life have become values integral to the loud, chaotic, living in excess world that's building around us. And women who wish to stand out in their own rightful spaces are choosing to do so by making a statement that they aren't letting the world overwhelm them. A symbol of a harmonious marriage then gently makes its mark from a black tie event to a festive gala, to a flea market to a concert, never standing in the way of their styling.

3. Brilliance of Solitaires

Modern sensibilities have got nothing on the urge to make a statement. And what better to make a statement than the simplicity and sophistication of a solitaire. The symbolism of the mangalsutra grows multifold as the dream to own a solitaire is made to come true with our sustainable lab grown solitaires. These solitaire mangalsutra are wearable on an everyday yet never failing to impress and allow you to carry a piece of your love solidly along with you everywhere. Lab-grown diamond solitaires are the ultimate value-buy and come with a certificate from SGL or IGI. Set in pure 18kt gold, a solitaire mangalsutra may just be what you were looking for.

4. Constant Innovation

If you, the modern woman, are constantly finding ways to innovate and show her love then as a place of design and craftsmanship, innovation is integral to what we do. Innovation in our minimal mangalsutra comes from the myriad of pendant styles, whether they be leaning more towards elegance or towards putting multiple diamonds of different shapes together that are rarely seen together or creating celestial pendants which are completely in trend.

5. Personalisation

If anything comes close to minimalism in trends that are moving markets today, it is a need for personalisation in everything you do. We see it, we see how you want a part of you reflected in everything you carry and wear and that is why every mangalsutra from DiAi comes with an option to customise the length, the number of black beads, the type of chain, gold, white gold or rose gold, and the carat. Apart from this we have our very popular initial mangalsutra which allows you to put one or both yours and your partner's initials on the chain to carry a childlike love with you even as you commit for a lifetime.
