The Women of Today

It is uplifting to see how ordinary women today are speaking up for their rights. The fresh voices that stand tall in social media are not the voices of celebrities or politicians but 3 Indian women – Sunayna Dumala, Gurmehar Kaur & Gurpreet Kaur, who raised awareness about the issues that affect them.

In just over a couple of days’ time, we will be celebrating International Women’s Day (March 8), saluting the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. We are encouraged to voice out, how each one of us (women) must stand by women in these testing times. So, they’re not ignored or mocked upon. That is the real test for Women’s Day! How all of us are standing by each other!

Sunayna Dumala

Sunayna Dumala raised poignant questions about the country she called home after her husband, Srinivas Kuchibhotla (Indian techie) was killed in a mindless attack at a bar in Olathe county in Kansas. Citing Dumala who asked the one question that’s in every immigrant’s mind, “DO WE BELONG HERE?” “Is this the same country we dreamed of and is it still secure to raise our families and children here?” Her Facebook post of outpouring emotion shows her devastation of being an immigrant in the US after her husband’s murder. By raising her voice, Dumala hopes that her husband can aid as a lasting symbol of the impact of hate crimes on immigrants in America. “Many a time, these issues are talked about for a few weeks and people tend to forget about them afterwards, but the fight must go on towards eliminating hatred from the minds of people,” said Dumala.

Gurmehar Kaur

The 20-year-old student, Gurmehar Kaur, raised her voice on intolerance against the AVBP clashes at DU. This went viral and took a political turn, with leaders and celebrities commenting on her statement and calling her anti-national. Kaur’s video post on Twitter which read: “Pakistan did not kill my dad, war killed him.” Gurmehar Kaur’s father, a captain in the Indian army, was killed in an attack on a military camp near the de facto border with Pakistan in 1999. Her controversial remarks on Pakistan received with many trolling online and threatening her with physical violence and rape. Women are standing up for her and that is the real change!

Gurpreet Kaur

Gurpreet Kaur is a 21-year-old UK-based Sikh girl who has become a celebrity on Instagram and Facebook with her ridiculously hard fitness game. She is winning hearts with her insane callisthenics workout routines, weight training, and yoga. With over 17,000 followers on Instagram and receiving over a thousand likes regularly for her incredible fitness moves, “Fitness Kaur” has become quite the social media sensation. Born to an English mother and a Punjabi father, Gurpreet has always felt a strong connection with her Sikh roots. After writing her name during the Amrit Sanchar (Sikh ceremony), the fitness routine hit her mind, body, and soul. The turbaned Kaur prefers Shabads (Sikh hymns) as her workout groove over the latest music. The soothing music of Shabads gets her going and inspires her to push herself both physically as well as spiritually. Kaur faced the world that would constantly discourage her, telling her that, being a girl, she would not be able to do this or that. This kind of demotivation ended up pushing her to focus her energy on fitness, a journey she started at the age of 17. She is now breaking all norms and showing men and women across the world that nothing is impossible if you have the right mind and determination for it.

They all share a commitment to speaking up and standing up for their rights. Let their stories inspire and move you to #beboldforchange and stand up in streets, public transport, in school, at work, on social media, at home and where ever there is a need for change. Don’t be shunned down to speak your thoughts. You never know, you could be the driver of change which will save millions of women who are facing similar problems.

MirrorWhite was started and is run by a group of women, and we are proud of it.

We wish all #theunstoppablewomen a “Happy Women’s Day”!

The January Birthstone – Garnet

“By her who is this month was born

No gem save garnets shall be worn

They will ensure her constancy

True friendship and fidelity.”

— Gregorian Birthstone poem

Traditionally, birthstone is a gemstone associated with each month of the year. The modern concept of having a special stone related to the month you were born is such a fun idea. No matter where the origins lead to, there’s something charming about the very thought that we each have a precious stone associated with the month we were born, and exploring the folklore and legends around each gem only add to the fun.

The birthstone for January is a garnet. Garnet is most commonly dark red but can be found in a variety of colours that includes red, yellow, orange, brown, green, pink, black, and some are even colourless. Garnet also shows a vitreous or glassy lustre.

According to legends, wearing a Garnet gemstone during the month of January heightens its healing powers. Garnets light up the night and protect their owners from nightmares and accidents when far from home. Garnet brings the wearer with good luck, peace, prosperity, protection and good health. And some say it even has the power to give the wearer eternal happiness and wealth. From the fiery orange to the rich green and the widely recognized red, Garnet is considered a great gift to symbolize friendship and trust. With its stunning variety of colours and its mystical powers Garnet is chosen for the 2nd and 6th wedding anniversary.

Most popularly associated with peace, prosperity and good health to the home. The garnet called the “Gem of faith” also symbolizes deep and lasting friendship. With that legend in mind, gift a garnet to someone whose friendship you genuinely value or take it if you’re a January born legend.

MirrorWhite offers some amazing pieces of garnet embedded silver jewellery to deck up your body with luck and goodness.

Choose The Right Earrings For Your Face Shape And Look Fabulous Always!

If you are a woman who loves to dress to impress, then you definitely know what jewellery can do to your look and outfit. In India, silver jewellery is a popular choice for special occasions and even every day wear. Silver earrings are one such type of jewellery that lend the perfect finishing touch to any outfit. The reason being, they’re affordable, trendy, and have a certain finesse in them. Today, Most women love to wear earrings due to the effect it has on their appearance, particularly their face. Therefore, when shopping for a pair of earrings, it is important to select the right style of earrings that will complement your face and enhance your look. Women who choose the correct style will enhance their look even further.

If you are confused which earring style will suit your face shape, here is a guide that will help you make the right choice.

Oval Face: This is commonly believed to be the most attractive face shape. Women with this face shape will look great in almost all earring styles. How lucky isn’t it? However, drop earrings will look the best on such faces, as they will perfectly complement the oval shape. Teardrop and statement earrings, in particular, will look stunning on an oval face.

Round Face: This cute face style needs to be balanced out with narrow earrings. Chunky earrings or hoops will add more width to such a shape, hence women with round faces should opt for long, slim designs. Long dangle earrings will be perfect, and they can also be studded with small gemstones or pearls for an attractive look.

Heart Face: This face shape is wider at the forehead and cheekbones, and narrow at the chin and jaw. For this shape, inverted triangular shaped earrings that are heavy at the bottom will perfectly contrast the face and lend a wonderful balance. Such women can opt for dangles, teardrops and chandelier earrings. Smaller earrings like studs should be avoided.

Square Face: This type of face is angular, and will look great with rounded earrings that soften the jaw and cheekbones. Women with square-shaped faces can go for elongated earrings, dangles and hoops. Dangles studded with gemstones will flatter a square face beautifully. Hovers, small studs and ear cuffs should be avoided by women with this face type.

Narrow/Rectangular Face: This is an elongated square-shaped face. Just as for the square shape, this face style also needs a touch of softness to balance out the angular features. However, since the face itself is longer, it is best to avoid long dangle earrings. Instead, such women can choose large showy studs, pearl earrings, or wide style earrings.

Diamond Face: The diamond face is sharp along the cheekbones and jaw, which can be softened with complementing earrings. Avoid earrings that are heavy at the top, long narrow earrings, or diamond shaped earrings. Women with such faces can try earrings that are wider at the bottom, such as teardrops, or choose small hoops or studs.

Earrings are wonderful accessories that can add drama and fun to every outfit. While colours, materials and designs matter, the right earring styles will highlight women’s natural face shapes and make them look even more beautiful. So buy the right earrings that best suit your face, and accentuate your facial features to stand out in the crowd.

Walk like an Egyptian and Dress like one too!

The last one year has been a rollercoaster ride for us at MirrorWhite! Running a new business and growing organically means wearing multiple hats at the same time. It’s an exciting period but also stressful at the same time. You need to meet you sales, manage your expenses, do your marketing, develop new product lines, and so on and so forth. It’s always a never ending list of tasks! In the bargain, I have learnt a lot and Thanks to the support of friends and family, we have come a long way since we started in June 2014.

Today, it’s a good feeling to see one of our first luxury collection getting noticed in social media and getting the kind of appreciation we never expected. Yes, we are talking about our Egyptian Collection. We spent days and months developing this line of jewellery, from the concept, to the designs, to the colors, to sourcing the stones, to manufacturing, and finally to see the finished piece in your hand is the best feeling in the world.

It started with a concept as simple as taking inspiration from Egypt and we built on that to bring to you something beautiful, unique – something that if worn will make a style statement. We wanted to fuse together western and Indian, so it can be matched beautifully with both types of clothing. Why should jewellery always be restrictive? Shouldn’t we be able to style it with whatever kind of clothing we wear?

Another exciting thing that came about with this new launch was our photoshoot by Supriya Suryanarayanan in Bangalore. It was so much fun to do our first ever photo shoot and she managed to capture the jewellery so beautifully that all of effort and time put in just made sense in the end! Oh and we also ran a fun contest on what you like about Egypt and gave away a gift voucher from MirrorWhite worth Rs. 5000 on Social Media! We also had a winner, Nazia!

Behind the scenes at the MirrorWhite Photoshoot

Today, in this overcrowded market place, consumers have a 100 choices to look for but we at MirrorWhite hope that you enjoy what we are bringing to you. We are learning along the way but our motto remains the same, we want to bring to you, unique – one of a kind – handmade silver jewellery that is wearable, fun, stylish yet not over the top. We want you to feel special when you wear it! We want you to remember us and the effort that has been put into making each piece of jewellery by our artisans across India. We are excited to be a part of this journey and will be bringing to you more such collections in the future!

So tell us what you think? Do you like our new Egyptian collection? Notice the prisms, the falcons, the lovely blue colours, the turquoise and lapis, and most of all the hard work put into each piece by the craftsman….
