Styles Of Jewellery For South Indian Brides

• Antique Gold Jewellery

Gold jewellery is presumably the type we have all seen in South Indian weddings. Believed to be optimistic, this jewellery is made in many designs and forms, like Meenakari, Kundan, etc., and is deemed one of the best for South Indian brides. Since South Indian gold is barely lighter, antique gold jewellery is shone a bit darker to look like a dull gold colour that camouflages the heavy blingy look of the dress.

Antique designs like haath pools, maang tikkas, kadas, vans, waist belts, and heavy neckpieces have been produced, especially in South Indian bridal fashion. And when talking of popular antique gold jewellery for South Indian brides, the Gundla Mala (beaded necklace having three layers) is also a hot selection amongst brides.
