9 Pieces of Indian Bridal Jewellery You Must Own for Your Wedding Day!
Indian weddings are a celebration of colours, traditions and rituals. Every wedding is special, whether pre-wedding functions or the big day. However, no matter how small or big they are, all Indian weddings have one thing in common – there will be a lot of outfits to change! That’s where accessories come into play! They not only give you that perfect finishing touch but also help you look different for your many outfits. That is why we bring you nine types of jewellery pieces every woman must have in her closet for her wedding.
Gold Coin Necklace
This is one of the most classic Indian jewellery pieces that every bride must have in her wedding jewellery collection. A gold coin necklace can be worn with any Indian outfit according to your wedding theme and is a great way to add colour to your look while keeping it classic. You can choose from various designs and styles when it comes to coin necklaces. You can go for a classic gold coin necklace that’s plain and simple, or choose a design with other elements like zari or crystals. Double coin necklaces are great to wear with heavier outfits like an Indian lehenga, where the weight of the outfit is enough to tug the necklace down.
Earring Set
Indian brides can never go wrong with a classic earring set. They are a must-have, especially if you’re going for a heavy look like an elaborate Mehendi or a sangeet ceremony. An earring set can be made up of stud earrings or hoop earrings. You can choose a design with a bit of bling or go for a simpler design if you don’t want the attention to be drawn away from the rest of your jewellery. A classic earring set usually consists of stud earrings. However, some designers also offer a variation with a hoop earring. You can also choose to wear multiple earrings simultaneously or just one. Earring sets are best worn with lighter outfits like a lehenga or a sari. They also look great with a shalwar kameez outfit.
Diamond Choker
A diamond choker is the perfect jewellery piece if you love to dazzle. A diamond choker is usually worn with an earring set but can also be worn with a coin necklace or a solitaire necklace. If you’re wearing a choker, you don’t want your outfit to be too colourful or heavy. You should wear a simple, light-coloured outfit like a lehenga or a chiffon saree. A diamond choker can be made from real diamonds or imitation ones. The choice is completely up to you. Real diamonds are the most expensive, but imitation diamonds also look beautiful, especially if you’re on a budget.
Gold Bangle Set
A bangle set is one of the most traditional Indian jewellery pieces you can wear for your Indian wedding. You can wear a single bangle or a set of bangles made of gold or silver, according to your outfit. Bangle sets are best worn with lehengas, saris or chiffon sarees. A bangle set looks great when you wear them all together. However, they also look beautiful worn with a single bangle. The choice of bangles is completely up to you. You can go for plain gold bangles or choose a design with some embellishment like zari or a design like a lucky charm. Wear a bangle set with a lehenga if you want to go heavy on jewellery, a chiffon saree, or a sari if you want to go for something a little simpler.
Anklet/ Ankle Chain
An ankle chain is perhaps one of the unique pieces of bridal jewellery on this list, but it’s also a great choice if you’re looking for something different. Ankle chains are usually worn around the ankle. These jewellery pieces are often made from a single, large chain that may also feature dangling charms and jewels. Ankle chains are beautiful and unique pieces of bridal jewellery. While they may not be as obviously visible as other pieces, they’re a great choice if you want something subtle and elegant but still noticeable.
Maang Tikka
A maang tikka is a small chain that you can wear at the parting of the hair. With one end hooked to the hair and the other end dangling on the wearer’s forehead. The dangling section is mostly a pendant, giving the overall effect of being very traditional.
Kamarband
This wedding jewellery is worn around the waist and features ornate patterns made from coins and beads that can or cannot be precious metals. Kamarband is wedding jewellery that adds a subtle grace to the wearer, and it can be worn with either the bridal sari or the wedding lehenga.
Nath
This traditional wedding jewellery complements your overall outfit. Enhance your look with this lovely nose ring for a whole transformation. Although not everyone feels comfortable wearing one, if you want to go for additional elegance, add this accent to your bridal getup. You don’t need to have your nose pierced because naths that can be put on to the nostril from either side are fairly common and equally lovely.
Mix-and-match Earrings
If you want to keep your jewellery light and simple, then the best Indian jewellery pieces are a pair of simple studs or earrings with a little bling. Stud earrings are best worn with a lehenga or a sari. They can also be worn with a chiffon saree, but it’s less common. If you want to go for bling, a pair of earrings with gemstones or diamonds will look great. Earrings with gemstones are best worn with a lehenga, while earrings with diamonds are best worn with a sari. Earrings with gemstones like emeralds, rubies or diamonds are usually worn with a coin necklace. They can also be worn with a choker if you want to go heavy on jewellery.
