• Diamond Jewellery Sets

It goes directly with any outfit! No one can say that the glistening white jewels set with treasured stones like emerald and ruby do not judge the bride.

The favourite trinkets made in nakshi jewellery are Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Ganesha designs. These are decorated with precious stones, diamonds, polki work, gold beads or pearls. Are you willing to look like a beauty with these sacred temple jewellery sets on your wedding day?

• Antique Gold Jewellery Sets

Antique gold jewellery has been the go-to for brides for several decades because of its honest look! Gold never fails to add that much-needed charm and delicateness a bride needs on her D-day.

Layering ornate gold pieces in 22-karat yellow gold with gold ball or gold bead chains, meenakari work, Kundan haars etc., is an incredibly popular choice among south Indian brides. We definitely think gold jewellery sets are timeless and classy!

• Polki Diamond Jewellery Sets

Hailing from the majestic Mughal era and specially handcrafted to make you feel like a piece of regal, Polki diamond jewellery is all the rage in 2022. Made from incomplete natural diamonds and set in a concave unit of 22 karats yellow gold, each polki unit oozes an old-world charm itself.

The lustre and shine of polki diamond jewellery, although not the same as polished cut diamonds, is sufficient to take anyone's breath away! These days, open polki and Hyderabadi polki -set in silver rather than gold- are also trending for modern brides.

We believe the rich royal look polki diamond jewellery grants is spectacular indeed.

• Kundan Jewellery Set

Although looking identical to Polki, Kundan jewellery uses glass rather than raw diamonds in individual units. The rare stones give a very appealing and classy vibe to the jewellery.

Kundan designs have been growing over the years, and new contemporary designs are very much in trend nowadays! Kundan is reasonable compared to polki jewellery and looks as charming as polki. So why not go for Kundan crusted with semi-precious stones for a budgeted wedding look?

• Guttapusalu Wedding Jewellery

"Pusalu" indicates beads, and "gutta" represents a bunch in Telugu. So guttapasulu literally cracks to pearls placed in bunches. Guttapusalu bridal necklaces look exquisite and make you feel like a total princess! Long or short, the neckpieces are created in traditional patterns and flower motifs and set with different gemstones. We really acknowledge they look otherworldly with matching earrings and maang tikkas.

• Layered Pearl Satlada necklaces

Salad haar is essentially a bridal necklace made of 7 strings of pearls, in addition to precious gemstones, diamonds, polki work etc., on the haar. This type of bridal jewellery was created by the Nizams of Hyderabad and has caught on in south Indian culture. It is eye-catching and looks especially royal.

One can wear the salad haar by itself or pair it with a choker piece for a dazzling display of opulence.

• Emerald beads jewellery

Multi-stranded emerald bead necklaces are certainly trending all over in 2020! Designed either with charms or just solitary bead strands, these necklaces look royal and luxurious. The deep green completes almost all primary and secondary colours and can be worn with any outfit!

• Statement Chokers

Who doesn't love a gorgeous statement choker neckpiece? We've sprinkled numerous brides sporting elegant choker pieces, and can we just say they look stunning? A choker is a highly adaptable neckpiece worn with any outfit, even western wear.

The cascading features in choker pieces so gracefully crown the necks of our lovely brides. We are only in awe each time we spot one.

• Flower Jewellery

For Haldi and Mehndi ceremonies, more and more brides opt for floral jewellery sets finished with floral neckpieces, earrings, floral maang tikkas and haath phools. These jewellery sets are one-of-a-kind while also being colourful and vibrant. We think they look so fun and refreshing, a relief from conventional heavy jewellery.

Definitely suggest you go ahead with this trend for your Haldi ceremony!
