If you are a bride-to-be, we are sure you must have heard about the Satlada necklace. This seven-string piece of pearl jewellery, with its Nawabi and Nizam heritage, can accentuate any bride's look with regal ease. It can dramatically amp up your bridal day to look to of a royalty. Here, we discuss if you should go for it considering all the other elements in your bridal trousseau, places you can buy it from and tips on styling it. Let's start with explaining the Satlada necklace.

The Satlada necklace

The Satlada is a 7-string pearl necklace that is ideally supposed to have 465 pearls along with precious stones like Kundan, rubies and/or emeralds. The USP of the necklace is the seven layers, which looks like the bride is wearing seven different necklaces. The key to styling the necklace in the right way would be to pair it along with a choker. The effect of layering adds a royal touch to the bride’s overall look.

Remember Aishwarya Rai donning a gorgeous Satlada in her famous film Jodha Akbar? It was also part of the Nizam's set of jewels.

Should you invest in a Satlada?

Did you know the same necklace if made with five strings is known as Panchlada and if made with three strings is called Teenlada? Since Satlada is made of pearls, the jewellery is affordable compared to investing in a heavy gold or diamond set. To cut down on cost even further, you can get the Satlada made in silver with gold plating. You can get coloured pearls or add precious jewels to it for that pop of colour. 

You can even find Satlada necklaces in imitation jewellery. That’s perfect if you want to follow the trend but aren’t sure if you’ll ever use it again.

How to Style your Satlada

Satlada is a statement jewellery piece but it can get lost in the bling if you don't style it right. Balancing with other necklaces and the type of embroidery your Choli has matters a lot. Here are some ways in which you can style your Satlada necklace:

1. The Royal Look

To look royal; you must pair your Satlada necklace with a good blouse. Opt for a low neckline or a sweetheart-shaped neckline. This will help you accentuate your ornaments. Ensure that the bling of your blouse does not overpower the look of your Satlada. This way you can show off them both equally. 

2. Minimalist Look

You can also try opting for a plain blouse, with zero bling. This will not clash with your already bejewelled Satlada necklace and it will stand out spectacularly. You can also use your necklace to create a contrast with jewels complementing the colours of your blouse. 

3. Unisex styles

Did you know Satlada is unisex? Men can also pair a Satlada with their sherwani. With a dark coloured sherwani, plain pearl Satlada will look good. But if the Satlada has some precious stones, it can be paired up with a neutral coloured sherwani.

Difference between Rani Haar and Satlada

Rani Haar is all about giving a royal touch to your bridal look. These gorgeous necklaces usually have long strings. Most Rani Haars are made in Kundan, but some of them also include precious stones like emeralds and rubies. This heavy piece of jewellery is mostly paired with a choker, like a Satlada. However, the difference lies more in the fall, where these have a U-shaped fall, rather than a V-shaped one.
