The Story Behind Mia’s Signature Collection - Mia Sutra Mia by Tanishq does it once again - finds the perfect blend between tradition & style! The Mia Sutra collection is our signature drop, owing to its one-of-a-kind design set and ability to convey a deep-rooted, personal story. Consisting of a wide range of mangalsutras, the Mia Sutra collection aims to offer our beloved Mia woman best-of-the-best designs when it comes to daily-wear mangasutras. The mangalsutra transcends its importance as culturally important jewellery, transforming into a signature ornament, almost skin-adjacent - becoming one with the woman's soul. Thus, when the groom's family picks out a mangalsutra, they must choose one which speaks to the modern bride's passions and her style. A woman, who is not the type to be coy or timid, cannot sacrifice her style when it comes to committing to an ornament for life, can she? We think not! So, Mia by Tanishq has come up with the Mia Sutra collection, featuring mangalsutra designs in keeping with traditions, while exploring the 'personal' & ‘stylistic’ angles in detail. They not only add a modern flair to the ornament but also infuse it with sentimental value which the bride can be emotionally connected to. Read about the lore which surrounds our special mangalsutra collection. The story of our signature collection - Mia Sutra, shall help you understand the roots & origins of this drop, what drove us to create it and more folklore crumbs!
Our Inspiration: Your Undeterred Grasp on What Makes You Unapologetically You Mia Sutra is a collection that is close to every married woman who is stepping into a new life with her dignity and identity. While marriage is a turning point in the lives of lovers and their families, this event is something that alters the very foundations of a woman's life, in particular. She, who has stayed in her family's home all her life, is required to pack up the moments into a few suitcases and head over to a brand-new environment. It’s safe to say that while a romantic feat, marriage is also quite nerve-racking. Yet, women continue to battle through feelings of disposition. They maintain a sense of self through the conundrum of a marriage ceremony, the moving situation and settling into a brand-new lifestyle. This is exactly what inspires us to create a collection of modern mangalsutra where every woman finds their unique expression and style!
Your Drive to Be You As it’s easy to get lost in the chaos of starting a new life, losing grip on reality is almost a given. But you, the modern woman, are doing so astonishingly well to keep up! It is your determination to be in constant touch with yourself and reality that drives us to design mangalsutras that vibe with your aura. Mia by Tanishq brings you jewellery which can be on par, in terms of sparkle & stature, with your unfaltering soul.
Your Respect for Traditions & Love for Style While you cannot compromise on your sense of style and self, you also do not want to turn your back on the treasured traditions of our diverse land - and we understand that! So, Mia by Tanishq was driven to create a collection of mangalsutras which not only kept up with the traditions in essence but also incorporated your inclination towards modern styles through design. This makeover of the classic mangalsutra blueprint infuses the ornaments with a personal aspect, making them wearable daily.
The Importance of Personhood Every Mia woman is important - and is uniquely different from one another. In that regard, we decided at the very drawing board session: personalisation of mangalsutra was our main motto with this drop! We pitched ideas surrounding ways to make an ornament feel more connected to the wearer. And, now we're here! The final product range consists of sparkle-abundant, dainty mangalsutra pendants, bracelets and stunning diamond-studded centrepieces.
Mangalsutra Trends Across India In different regions of India, state-specific identity has found unique expression through mangalsutra design. While the classic mangalsutra make consists of yellow threads, and gold & black beaded chains – the Minnu, Taagpaag, Karthamani Pathak, Vati, Bottu, and Thaali variations introduced dynamic modifications. We were inspired by all of the above mangalsutra variations, and tastefully incorporated related elements to our Mia Sutra collection to bring the ultimate nationwide aesthetic vision to life. The dazzling collection consists of initials as charms, modern numeric moulds, diamond-studded pendants, and more!
A Glimpse at Our Mia Sutra Collection: Traditional Essence & Modern Masterpieces The next stop on your journey to the history of Mia’s Signature Collection is here! As previously established, we’ve found a masterful blend, a middle path connecting traditions to trends. Now, mangalsutras are not just culturally significant jewellery but also ones which can be worn as style statements every day. Here's a glance at our soulful Mia Sutra collection (beware of too much sparkle, ladies!):
1. Mia Sutra DIY with Alphabet Charms- K
The perfect way to personalise any piece of jewellery is by adding charms, which hold special meaning to the wearer. So, when shopping for your bride, pick out a mangalsutra featuring an ‘alphabet’ charm she can connect to. For example, opt for the initial of her name or any letter which is a significant place-holder in her life-tale. The Mia Sutra collection decidedly includes the alphabet charm mangalsutras to purchase the groom’s family’s end - much more personal to the bride!
2. Mia Sutra DIY with Numerical Charms- 6
Similar to the alphabet charm, you can also opt for a numeric charm. Choose a number which may be important to your bride, possibly the day she and her to-be-husband met, a date she achieved a career-related milestone, and so on. Subtly yet meaningfully, this infuses a thoughtful touch to the choice of ornament.
3, Mia Sutra DIY with Alphabet Charms- N
Another unique way to adorn the gold & black beaded goodness is to opt for the bracelet variation of mangalsutra. As the bracelet is a basic essential in jewellery, it is much easier to style with different types of outfits. Already dainty and subtle in make, the bracelet is known to be a more low-key accessory, still adding a measurable degree of intrigue to an outfit. By opting for the bracelet variation of mangalsutra, you not only keep your bride’s unique quirks in mind but also accommodate her flexible style palette.
4. 14KT Hypnotizing Diamond Mangalsutra
Beyond the classic mash-up of a gold chain and black beads, arranged masterfully - the ‘14KT Hypnotizing Diamond Mangalsutra’ features a shiny surprise coded in diamonds. This pendant is studded with pristine diamonds, adding a modern flair to the Sutra design. The central motif is also highly symbolic, representing the intertwined infinities associated with each lover and their unending love. The Mia Sutra collection proudly debuts this mangalsutra design - a truly one-of-a-kind creation, from both, a stylistic & a cultural standpoint.
5. 14KT Modest Bangle
The ‘14KT Modest Bangle’ is the epitome of subtlety and quiet romance. If your bride loves to get decked out in simple silhouettes, inclining more towards neutral, solid or pastel colour palettes – wearing a mangalsutra in the form of a modest bangle perfectly completes the look. In the ever-evolving world of fashion, you no longer need to completely break up with your roots to find your style through traditional ornamentation. Your roots and style do not have to be mutually exclusive, with us in the picture! We are constantly striving to come up with innovative jewellery designs - so you can express your style in association with tradition.
