I am very excited about today's post, well actually I am always excited about all my posts, but todays post is slightly different, it is a review on an Indian jewellery piece and it definitely makes a refreshing change from the makeup posts that I usually post.
Juzba Indian jewellery very kindly sent me this stunning jewellery piece from their limited edition collection to review and I have since quickly fallen in love with it. They describe themselves as "Juzba" means a passionate gesture and we are passionate about beautiful Indian jewellery. Stunning Indian jewellery for life’s precious occasions…available to you at the

For those that do not know, Juzba Indian Jewellery are a UK based company (no customs or taxes hurrah!) that offer a vast range of ethnic pieces ranging from the traditional bridal looks, henna parties, registry and general parties where the wearer may simply want to dress to impress. What's more, there is something available for every individual for every occasion all at quality affordable prices so you do not have to worry about breaking the bank.
Now I have to admit, I have never been much of a jewellery person or lover and do not often wear and shop for it to the extent some girls I know do, but, when I stumbled across Juzba Indian jewellery on Facebook, (here), I was instantly drawn to them, but it was only when I visited their website, I was attracted to them even more. One thing for certain was that they definitely stood out for me at first glance, not something I usually find with jewellery. As I have gotten older, I have found myself to steer away from the big bulky pieces and instead opt for the more elaborate, simple types and I have found just that with Juzba.

Anyway, that's enough talking, lets move on to the packaging shall we. It was obvious, the very first thing that caught my eye was no doubt the packaging. It was beautifully packaged in a quality beige box with their name and logo with matching brown tissue paper so that the delicate piece would not be damaged. It did not give off that the cheap imitated feeling as I have found the case with other jewellery, in fact, it was quite the opposite. Provided just how beautifully it was packaged, it would definitely make a perfect gift too for that someone special.
The piece I was sent to try consisted of a necklace, earrings and a piece for the forehead most commonly known as a 'tikka'. The 'kundan' (a traditional form of Indian gemstone jewellery involving a gem set with gold foil between the stones and its mount, usually for elaborate necklace- Source- Wikipedia) featured a combination of ruby red, green and silver gems with a quad of four silver petals along the necklace and the design remained consistent through the earrings and tikka too. The tikka can also be used as a side piece for the head too especially with an up hair do.
Like most traditional Indian jewellery sets, the necklace has a 'draw string like' attachment at the back so that it can be tightened/loosened as desired as well being a standard fit to fit people of all shapes and sizes.
Since I received the package in good time, I chose to wear this kundan on the festival of Eid as it is very elaborate and elegant and matched perfectly with my green jazzy outfit, although elegant and simple, it is definitely enough to 'make the look' and I am a firm believer that the jewellery will always add the finishing touches to an outfit and complete the final look along with the hair and makeup of course.
In addition to this, this particular set from Juzbas limited edition collection is so special in the sense that it can be worn in many different ways. How, I hear you ask? Well, for one, it can be worn minus the tikka, the necklace can be worn alone with a plain or jazzy suit and similarly, just the earrings alone if you really want to keep the look simple. And best of all, it can be worn with almost any coloured outfit as the beauty in it sometimes is the mismatched look.

Juzba Indian Jewellery have really appealed to me, all their pieces are stunning and I love the fact that they breathe that rich Indian culture and I quite favour the Jaipur/Rajasthani look some of them have going on, wouldn't it be nice to look like an extra from Jodha Akbar?
Many thanks to Juzba Indian jewellery for sending me this lovely piece to try. I have become quite fond of it and plan to get lots more wear out of it.They are definitely worth checking out. Prices start from little as £20 and what's more, they are currently offering free UK delivery on all orders over £100, now it cannot get any better than that can it?
