That is right according to a study by a renowned fashion magazine, 83 per cent of brides consider a hair accessory as a necessity and are ready to splurge on this latest trend. We bring you the latest hair accessories from top brands of India and give you an insight about what the design head honchos think about this trend.

Sudden Surge in Popularity
Today’s generation is versatile and modern. They like to experiment and do not shy away from trying something new. The modern women today are evolved who make wellinformed choices. Hair accessories are very elegant and bring out the glamour quotient in a woman at the same time highlighting her tresses, which are added to their feminine beauty. Various national and international celebrities at the red carpet have also adorned them. And, now we see jewellery designers and brands reinventing the traditional hair jewellery by adding a classic and stylish twist, which is a fresh offering for the consumers. Some of my designs can be worn as a brooch, pendant and a hair accessory at different times and different occasions. The result is a unique combination of accessible luxury: easy to wear superlative jewellery with a high style quotient. Hair accessories suit women with Neoclassic and Naturalist personalities. These women can carry opulent stone sizes. They need something that is traditional rustic, more of fusion, carrying Indian elements in the design.

Diamond Glitter For Hair
Hair accessories have always reflected a royal aura and have been adorned by queens since time immemorial. Somehow, over the last few years hair adornment has taken a new level with women wanting to experiment with hair accessories. Diamond and gold hair accessories are cherished by the new age brides especially when it can be passed on as their heirloom. - Gunjan Suri, Design Manager, Shrenuj & Co Ltd

The Shapes & Sizes
The rose cut diamonds in marquis or pear shape work well for different hair/ head accessories. In cluster of 1/2 carat and up would be the ideal size for head and hair jewellery. - Yogendra Sethi, Designer, YS 18

Price Range
A hair accessory is a very popular trend and is picking up swiftly in today’s time. It is not only famous with young generation as a fashion style but also preferred by modern brides too for their D-Day. There are brides who don’t prefer huge neckpieces, so they opt for heavy hair accessories to balance. Also, many customers come to me with their old neckpiece and get it converted to a head gear. Hence, as the consumer is varied, the price point also varies, minimum just a diamond string starts from Rs 2 lakhs and heavy pieces can go up to Rs 5 lakhs.
