Fashion has really made its presence everywhere … Isn’t it? Whatever we wear, we want it to be trendy. Not only in case of dress, but now days, especially in India, fashion has taken its toll on Mangalsutras also. Yes, I said Mangalsutra, the symbol of bonding between a bride and bridegroom. Thanks to the popular soaps that is taking its round on television.

With the developing cultural trends, women have also become modern and stylish. Many women consider it to be a vital jewelry that could be stylized. For this reason, the designers take great care in designing a mangalsutra which are highly crafty or a simple small cute thing to wear around the neck. Earlier, women use to wear a simple mangalsutra with small pendants. But now as we have multiple choices for everything around us, trend these days is to wear short length mangalsutra with single string preferably with diamond pendants or diamond mangalsutras instead of just gold. Well, logically thinking that goes well with western clothes also.

Designer or Non-designer, at least the women in India have not forgotten their tradition. They still wear the mangalsutra, though not necessarily as a symbol of marriage but at least as a symbol of fashion. Agree with me?
