Traditions no longer are a hurdle to the new canvas for jewellery. Even though gold, diamonds, and emeralds may be associated with costly jewellery trends in India.

Here are some tips to tell who you are just by your outfit:

1. Make jewellery the hero

Your saree or lehenga isn’t the main attraction of your bridal ensemble. It’s your jewellery. The most popular wedding colours for a bride on her wedding day are red, pink, and orange. However, bright colours frequently overpower conventional jewellery designs, causing the jewellery to become lost in the mix.

On your wedding day, let your gold jewellery take centre stage. With a striking item set against a light-colored ensemble that can’t steal the show, go big, bold, and gorgeous. Explore unusual colours like ivory, grey, lilac, or mint green instead of the typical colours that dominate Indian weddings.

2. Choosing your skin

While silk, satin and lace are popular options for wedding dresses and gowns, there are a host of other fabrics worth exploring. And of course, the more sequin, the better. But if you believe fashion doesn’t need sacrifice, why not choose a light and flowy material that is much more comfortable for outdoor ceremonies?

After all, every Indian wedding goes on for hours and even days at a time. What you need to look royal when experimenting with materials is a perfect match of textures.

Tulle, Mikado, organza, and crepe are definite showstopping materials; imagine a wedding getup that feels comfortable but looks exquisite with these statement pieces. Here we have an exquisite 22-karat yellow gold necklace, featuring artful floral partaaj work and delicate traces of green Meenakari, topped with a hint of diamonds.

Imagine this 100% handmade masterpiece set against a lime green organza lehenga, or a yellow crepe saree that shares its matte texture- no jarring shine or sequins, just a walking, talking piece of art.

While silk, satin, and lace are popular choices for bridal gowns and dresses, there are many more textiles to choose. Naturally, the more sequins, the better. However, if you feel that fashion should not be compromised, why not choose for a light, flowing fabric that is considerably more comfortable for outdoor ceremonies?

After all, an Indian wedding might go for hours, if not days. When playing with materials, a perfect match of textures is required to seem regal.

Tulle, Mikado, organza, and crepe are all show-stopping fabrics; envision a bridal ensemble that is both comfortable and stunning when these statement items are used. A beautiful 22-karat yellow gold necklace with artistic floral partaj work and subtle green Meenakari traces, capped with a touch of diamonds, would just do the job.

3. Choosing your hue

One of the greatest pleasures of designing any outfit is mixing and matching colours; it’s a delight that every fashionista seeks. To match the colour of your lehenga with your jewellery and create an ethereal appearance that doesn’t look underdressed, you’ll need a very matured sense of style. But how many different colours can you envision your gold jewellery taking on?

When you begin your search for the ideal bridal jewellery, you will quickly realise that each piece of handcrafted gold jewellery is one-of-a-kind in the purest meaning of the term, and worthy of being the focal point of a whole ensemble. The pieces seen above are the sort you have to see to believe, so put on a show for your wedding guests and showcase the kind of bride you want to be.

These rules also apply to gold ring designs; here are some examples

Knuckle rings

These rings have an unusual design that hinges between your finger’s middle joint and your fingernail. They were a fashionable ornament among the wealthy during the Renaissance era, and were also known as ‘tea rings.’ The style is making resurgence among today’s fashionistas, and it can carry a whole ensemble on its own.

Enamelled Rings

The vibrant colours of handcrafted Meenakari rings provide a fun and beautiful element to this jewellery style. These distinctive rings will give a splash of colour to whichever clothing you choose for the day.

A one-of-a-kind azure red enamelled Meenakari ring set in 22-karat hallmarked gold is seen here, which gives a lot of individuality and colour to an otherwise modest ensemble.

Criss — Cross rings

Gold isn’t simply yellow; it may also be pink, white, or green. Stacking multiple coloured rings in a pleasing combination is a fantastic technique to mix and match. These Versace-inspired yellow and white gold crossing rings are lighter and more young than you may imagine!

Statement Rings

What is it about statement neckpieces that makes them so popular compared to statement rings? It’s time to go outside the box when it comes to jewellery and take risks! Pair your ensemble with a classic and regal gold ring that tells a tale to take it to the next level.

So what are you waiting for? Don’t fret be the unafraid unconventional bride you are!
