Right, here we go ladies.
As you may know from my profile, I love Indian jewelry, make no mistake about it.
To get things goings I will say that since moving to Europe (England) I started instantly looking for shops and websites that sell all kinds of jewelry and I am somewhat upset.
I know, India will always have more shops and websites selling Indian jewelry but basic jewelry such as bindis can't be that hard to find right?
Well, heres what I found. Shops barely sell bindis, the most simplest of items and websites in this country fare worse. Many sell packs at a time instead of one or two. I don't mind packs but why try and sell 5 packs or 10 packs? ebay is the worst for that. I just want to sample new bindis a few at a time.
I spent ages looking for a good UK site and found 2 I like. Sharans.com and Asian-Designs.com
Now this is even more upsetting, sharans.com seems like it has closed down, they have been saying they are changing their websites for over a month now !
Never mind then, Asian Designs website is still up and running and lets be honest, I'm actually very impressed !
Lovely looking website and lots to choose from, I reckon I will be going through their website for ages and I have already bought an item from them, yes I have !
I bought a lovely small pack of bindis for only £3 (I will post an image as sson as I can get a working digital camera).
Obviously I will be searching for more websites like this but Google isn't too helpful, it lists way too many Indian websites which charge a lot for shipping and have minimum spend amounts which I hate the idea of but for now asian-designs.com is serving me well (for now !!)
For all you girls (and blokes if you are interested in ladies fashion), the link to my favorite jewelry websites will be listed below and some other odd links as times goes on. If you have any other links please do send them to me, I would be VERY greatful.

I have a blog !
This is new to me, I really am nervous haha, I hope I can keep you entertained but more importantly, I hope I can pass on details of some of my experiences in Europe, my new home away from India.
Incase anyone asks why I left India for UK, it's simple, new experience and job prospects. I have always loved the idea of coming to UK and have studied English all my life. I have family over here too so it was an easy transition for me.
