5 Facelets That Will Make For a Totally Cool Bridal Entry!

Remember when Beyoncé wore that eye-catching face chain by Malakai in Hymn For The Weekend? Well, that’s actually turned into a huge trend at wedding functions today! Brides-to-be are sporting chains—popularly called facelets—that, like its name, is a lil sculptural piece of jewellery meant for the face. It runs along the cheekbones and under the eyes in an I’m-wearing-glasses-but-I’m-not moment!

Silver, beads, pearls, shells, stones and worn cluster-style, the facelet is making for a new addition to the world of maang tikkas, nose pins and other usual jewellery. The styles are fun, too—actor Tejasswi Prakash rocked a structured face chain in Netflix’s Desi Bling, and you’ll see brides making it a part of their statement in haldis, mehendis and other functions.

Dials up Cute Drama
While you’ll see a bunch of folks going facelet-savvy of late, one such bride-to-be who did so and caused a buzz was digital content creator Khushi Jain, originally from Delhi and now based in New York. She had heard about facelets through her friends and loved the idea of wearing one at her function. She bought one, sported it and when she shared pictures of herself online, it was an instant hit! Jain shares, “I wore a facelet at my wedding for my mehendi and haldi function. The design was a simple metal facelet going across my face. I think it makes for really cool jewellery.”
These couture face chains can be worn to match the outfit, and you can go heavy or light with the accessory. While still relatively niche, a number of jewellery houses and designers are coming up with cool styles for these face-framing chains. If you’re already vibing on the facelet trend, here’s looking at where to buy it from:
