Kanchi Silk goes Trendy

The previous blog on Kanchi silks gives all the needed information on this centuries old Kanchi silk. But even that can be made trendy and modern looking. Unlike the sarees posted on the previous blog this blog has sarees that are totally off-beat and very unusual. They make sarees that resemble Pavadi Davani. One of the sarees in the picture is of that kind. Also, sarees with no borders are made with motifs on the body of the saree and a very grand contrast pallu with a blouse matching to the pallu.

Do check out these two latest blogs for traditional and trendy Kanchi Silk sarees.

You may accessorize the trendy saree with a treandy looking 1gm jewelry.

A Saree from the old times

As everyone knows, when history repeats itself, it can go either way. The same applies for fashion. The way we stitch our blouses when it comes to the the neck, the sleeve, and the puff in the sleeves, every style and fashion comes in and out throughout time.

After speaking to a dear older friend, it has come to my attention that one such style , popular over 60 years ago, has reincarnated itself into the form of a saree at RU creations. This particular saree is called the muppagakkarai saree. As the name implies it has 2 colors repeated in 3 pagams or sections, and contrast borders on both sides. Basically, it is a double sided saree with 3 parts of color change.

This saree would definitely be considered a grand one, and can be worn to wedding, so do accessorize it with a grand set of 1gm jewlery.

The Exquisite silk of All!!

The Kanjeevaram, or the Kanchi silk, could easily be considered as the most exotic silk. Such a fabulous material comes out of South India, or more specifically, Kancheepuram, near Chennai, TamilNadu.  Every South Indian woman, or almost every Indian woman's wardrobe will have at least a couple of this great silk. Every South Indian bride's wedding trousseu will definitely comprise of more than one Kanjeevaram silk saree.

We at RU Creations are  proud to bring that kind of rich tradition, from the fareast deep south Kanjeevaram to the deep south Houston, Texas.

Kanchi pattu or silk sarees usually come in bold colors with real gold or silver border on one side of the saree or on either sides with a flashy pallu. These days trendyness has caught up with this most traditional attire also. Boutiques now come up with very off-beat patterns. They are either half and half or sarees with no borders or sarees with very contemporary pallu. The 6yds in a saree has many designs many patterns on it.

One such saree available at RU Creations is displayed here in the picture, a very non traditional saree in a very traditional combination of colors ,  A pretty majenta with a bottle green combination.

P.S Always don't forget to accessorize the lovely saree with a beautiful 1gm gold jewlery.

Toned down appearance

As a followup to yesterday's suggestion,  I would like to talk about another type of look:

It is supremely important not to always be attention grabbing/seeking, just because your outfit is flashy and grand as well as accessorized with chunky jewelry. 

There's definitely a way to tone it down- with a simpler piece of jewelry and a pair of small and dainty earrings. Dangling earrings almost always give a more extravagent look, because after all, the bigger and longer the earring, the grander it looks. 

If you're looking to be more inconspicuous, wear a set that has a stud as the earrings, and instead of wearing a dozen bangles on your wrists, sport just one kada, one banglet or bracelet.  One gram gold jewelry has come out with various kinds of these in various sizes.  The bangles and kadas are simply superb with beautiful stones and crystals finished in antique finish . So, depending on the occasion, if you choose the right accessories, the cotton-silk saree you are wearing can be made grand or simple.

Antique Finish

As a follow up to yesterday's tip, I want to add by saying that the antique finish in the 1 gram jewelry is the one that makes it look extremely close to 22K gold jewelry.  Those days of wearing bright gold earrings and necklace is all over, ladies  These days it is all a dull finish or antique finish. Most of the one gram pieces are also antique finish ,which makes it resemble so much to its expensive counterpart. A piece that would cost 30,000 rupees or around 700 dollars would cost 60 dollars in one gram gold.  Just a little tidbit I thought I would share!

The Other Facet of RU Creations

I would like to change gears and talk about the other side of RU Creations....the jewelry!!  

When a lady wears a saree it is beautified with the jewelry she wears.  We live in an era where jewelry is made to look exactly like the pure gold pieces. In addition we get all different color stones to match any and all off-beat color saree

s. 

 One gram gold jewelry has taken over the wardrobe of Indian women these days.  Instead of spending almost 10 times more on a pure gold set , ladies prefer this so they can own more and it does not look anything different.  Win- Win situation!

 The base metal is brass and the craftsmen use their creativity with stones and beads and coat it with a 1gm gold COAT.  They come in various sizes and shapes to cater to every lady's taste. Ifr u are a lady who wears chunky sets, trendy ones, or simpler pendant and earring sets-  all these types are available in 1gm.  

Enjoy and have fun coordinating
