Don't have time go jewellery shopping? Try these online stores this wedding season

Do you already have a dozen invitation cards piled up at your entrance door for the back-to-back weddings you need to show up at this month, or perhaps even next week? With the festive season in full swing, it gets difficult to take rounds of the bazaar every other day especially if it's for a few tiny things like forgetting to buy matching earrings after a long day of errands.

It is also sometimes logistically impossible to get your hands on churiyan, jhumke, shoes, clothes, and other accessories, if the bazaar is far from home and every house member is fighting for the car (Yes, we know you can relate!).

We feel your pain and to make your lives easy, we’ve compiled a list of verified local online jewellery pages – some that even deliver worldwide – that will amp your bling game this wedding season. From embroidered purses and vintage chokers to bangles, rings and all kinds of hair accessories, here is a lowdown.

1. Pretty and personal

Started by two university students initially, this local jewellery page holds the most unique accessories. While they have a separate western and eastern collection, they are also famous for bringing desi glam to western earrings such as lotus studs, mughlai jhumkian, pearl earrings shaped in henna designs and more. Their best sellers also include stunning gold plated and ghungroo silver anklets in different designs.

Another reason to order from this page is how they have budget-friendly bundles available on their website, and often announce sales. Their cute delivery box includes a personalised note and a beautiful illustration that gives a shout-out to desi women and their love for jewellery.

Sanvarna Accessories delivers nationwide and shipment is free for orders over Rs3500. Delivery prices vary for Karachi and other cities.

2. Taste of tribal

This one’s a celebrity favourite too! Often the personal choice for Iqra Aziz, Sajal Aly, Ayeza Khan, Sanam Saeed, Syra Yousuf and more, Ayesha Accessories has a wide variety of tribal jewellery from Afghanistan, India and Pakistan. While their collection comprises of primarily malas and chokers, their rings and handcuffs are to die for too!

It stores antique pieces with delicate details that are symbolic. From tribal peacock earrings to elephant and parrot engravings, Ayesha Accessories tells stories through jewellery. It holds culture in its pieces and brings it out in the most intricate and beautiful ways.

3. Bling and more bling

For all those looking to add more colour to their usual silver and gold, Bling by Iqra is the place to go! From sly turquoise to bright magenta to orange and navy blue, you can get the perfect match for your dholki outfit. They even have multi-coloured floral sets containing a choker, earrings, ring and bracelet. Other than that, their website features beautiful Allah chains and jewellery with Arabic sayings engraved.

As its name suggests, this online store is all shiny and in your face. The jewellery will make you stand out in the crowd for the shine and glitter you’ll bring to the event. This women-owned exclusive store delivers worldwide.

4. Vintage vibes
While Accessories by M.A does not have a website, you can order their collection through their Facebook and Instagram pages. This particular store has got every typical earring you’d find at Gulf and Tariq road. Keeping up to date with new trends, new stock is uploaded on the page almost every day and it sells antique, vintage, oxidised and handmade jewellery.

For the ethnic touch to your wedding outfit, pick out a statement ear cuff and we’re certain you’ll have all eyes on you. This page delivers “happiness” worldwide.

5. Fusion fashion

There are two kinds of people at weddings; those who prefer heavy glam and others who like a classic, minimalist touch to their bling accessories. Dazzle accessories, another women-owned business, focuses on contemporary artisanal jewellery that brings a blend of festive and modern under one umbrella.

Their moon-shaped, beaded necklaces and classic floral motifs are amongst their most popular items. The business takes pride in its handmade and handcrafted jewellery and celebrates its artists through the venture. The brand was the first to bring bridal sneakers to the market; a concept that prioritises comfort and makes it fashionable.
