While gold jewellery is worn by brides as a tradition, there's no harm in adding a little bit of vibrancy to your bridal jewellery collection and spruce up your look on the whole and the best way to do that? silk thread jewellery!

Silk thread goes back a long way - it was first processed in China more than 5000 years ago. The silk thread is made from silkworm cocoons which could be found on trees. In 2640 BC, an empress in China discovered that if you put these cocoons in hot water, they could be stretched to form a long filament or a thread.

That's how the silk thread came into being and has ever since been used in embroidery. Because of its lustrous and elastic properties, it soon started being used for making jewellery as well. Sit back as we take you through the different types of silk thread jewellery you can flaunt on your wedding functions:
