A wedding is a most-awaited and special moment for one and all. Everyone wishes to make it perfect in all the possible aspects. The beauty and success of any wedding depend on several factors including, venue, food, wedding cards, decoration, catering, and other significant ones. When it comes to the brides, the big day means a lot for them personally as well. Every bride wishes to look the most beautiful on her special day and the beauty of the bride adds beauty to the overall event as well. While talking about Indian marriages, different types of ornaments play significant roles for the bride and Mangalsutra holds the highest place in those. Every lady knows the role of Mangalsutra, but choosing the best one is equally important as well. There are several considerable things before the final decision and some of those are discussed here.

• First of all, You must be sure about the budget range, because the price varies a lot with several designs, metals, patterns, and cuts. The price may vary from very small to very large depending upon the metal. So, be sure about your budget range prior to going to the shop.
• Mangalsutra was supposed to be made up of Gold only in earlier days, but with the change in time, different metals are being utilized, including white gold, silver, platinum, and others. Once you have decided on your budget, you must select the metal to go with. Metal selection depends highly on the maximum price range, so check if your required metal comes in the budget itself.
• Generally, brides are found following others for design and pattern selection, but it is not the right choice at all. You must go with a design suitable for you only, irrespective of others. You can choose a light and sophisticated design for daily wearing purpose or an intricate large sized pendant if you wish to wear it on special occasion only. So be specific about your choice while purchasing.
• Pendants come in a wide range of designs and patterns, so you must be wise enough to choose one that suits you the most. Shortlist some of the best designs and try each of them to make sure you are going for the right one.
• Another important thing to consider is the chain length & design. Different brides are seen wearing the different lengths of Mangalsutra in different designs, depending on their comfort level and choice. These attributes also determine the beauty of this ornament and must be selected wisely. You can go for a long chain or short chain, single chain or double chain, chain with less black beads or chain full of beads, and many others according to your needs.
• Once you are done with metal and design, check it for a match with your earrings. Your Mangalsutra must match with the earrings for enhanced beauty and don’t forget this while making a final choice.
• Last, but not the least, check the Mangalsutra for its authenticity from the seller. There are several factors determining the authentication of any ornament including jeweler’s identification mark, making a year, BIS standard mark, a mark of the hallmarking center, purity grade and many others. Consider these to ensure authenticity before final selection.

These are some of the significant factors every bride must consider before buying Mangalsutra.
