    What Indian Bridal Jewelry speaks to you?

    Our country and artisanal culture is a melting pot of legacies in handcrafted jewelry making techniques. In the midst of all that the rich land has to offer, what speaks to you most? What resonates with you? Polki? Diamonds? One-of-a-kind quirky? Or maybe some colour?

    Polki

    The Luxe of Classic Polki Jewelry Polki jewellery is essentially uncut diamonds set with 24K gold kundan. This jewelry style has been given a lot of names, you must have heard the popular ones, Vilandi, Uncut, Polki, Jadau. It has been around since ages, and appreciated by the Mughals and the Indian Maharajas alike.

    Diamond

    Diamonds have a way of being the most versatile element. They take form in elegant yet statement pieces of jewels. Shimmering like stars in the sky, diamond jewelry comes in traditional and contemporary forms, always better when accompanied with emeralds, rubies, tanzanites and pearls. A long-term favourite of the Jaipur royalty, diamond jewelry is sophisticated, elegant and fun!

    Classic Gold Jewellery

    Plain gold jewellery has been a predominant style since the beginning of Indian culture. While it has somewhere lost its popularity with the younger generation, the beauty of hand craftsmanship “karigari” is seen vividly in this style of gold jewellery. It is accentuated with uncut diamonds, pearls and sometimes natural gemstones.

    Colorful Gemstone Jadau

    Our design ideology rates colour as our top preference. Through meenakari and the use of natural gemstones like emerald, rubies, tourmalines, amethyst and hessonites set with 24K kundan this style of jewellery is as unique and heritage inspired as it gets. This jewellery reminds you of your mother’s and grandmother’s collection. It has trinkets and craftsmanship that are age-old and remind us of the past.

    Heritage regional heirlooms

    As we continue to migrate for study and work, within the country to somewhere afar, a lot of us are alienated from where we belong. Weddings are a time when there is an urge to connect to one’s own culture, to one’s roots and so to say, wear it on their sleeve. Jewellery is a great way to achieve this and hold a keepsake of our heritage with us forever.

    Know the head to toe of jewellery

    Choosing the right combination of necklaces, earrings and other jewellery is an art, very much like styling a saree or lehenga with the right blouse, dupatta or belt!  Ideally pick a jewellery piece that you want to highlight, it could be a necklace, a couple of nicely styled layered necklaces or a pair of statement earrings paired with a maangtika or a mathapatti.

    Pretty much anything goes for necklaces as long as they lend the Indian wedding bride a touch of glamor and a majestic aura. Simple gold was considered the standard in years past, but modern brides are opting for necklaces embellished with diamonds, kundan, and other colorful accents.

    Anklets are key elements of a bridal outfit and are often worn in conjunction with toe rings. Both have special significance as symbols that signify a woman is married. They are also considered to be supportive of women’s health, particularly reproductive health.

    Taking care of your wedding jewelry

    Handle each piece with care as many settings are delicate and are prone to breakage if dropped or dealt with recklessly. While care has been taken to ensure that all the pieces adhere to the best quality and craftsmanship possible, the jewelry is handmade and there might be breakage, stone displacement or other issues due to conditions beyond our control.
