Choosing wedding jewellery is just as important as choosing your dress, hairstyle, and location for your special day. After all, you will have photos to look back on for years. That’s why you must take the time to find something that complements your style and fits in with the rest of your wedding theme. There are so many types of bridal wedding jewellery available that it might be challenging to know where to start. Whether browsing online or visiting a physical store, here is our ultimate guide to choosing wedding jewellery for women.
What Wedding Jewellery should I buy?
First, you need to understand your different options when choosing Indian wedding jewellery. The most popular types of bridal wedding jewellery include the following:
- Bridal necklace: Bridal necklaces are designed to be a focal point of any outfit. They are usually quite long and can be made from various materials, including crystals, pearls, and diamonds. A bridal necklace can be paired with a wedding ring for a complete bridal set.
- Bridal earrings: Match your earring to the color of your necklace to add beauty to your overall look. They are often shorter and made from a more lightweight material, such as crystals or pearls.
- Bridal bracelet: Bridal bangles mostly wear in Indian weddings and they can be made from various materials, including leather, crystal, and pearls.
- Bridal rings: Wedding rings are the most important piece of jewellery at your wedding. You’ll wear this ring every day for the rest of your life, so it’s important to find something you love.
- Maang Tikka: A maang tikka is a piece of jewellery worn by Indian women on their foreheads. Maang tikkas are traditionally worn by brides, but they can be worn by women of all ages as well.
- Anklets: An anklet, also known as an ankle chain, ankle bracelet, or ankle string, is a type of ankle ornament that is worn around the ankle.
Decide on a style while choosing Bridal Jewellery
Once you’ve decided on the type of bridal jewelry you’d like, it’s time to look at the different styles. It’s important to choose something that matches your personality and complements your wedding theme.
- Timeless jewellery is the perfect choice for those who want something classic and elegant. They are often made from materials like gold, silver, and diamonds.
- Classic: Classic pieces will match almost any wedding theme. They usually feature symbols or designs that have been used throughout history.
- Romantic– Romantic pieces will be great for a more vintage-themed wedding. You can find pieces designed to look like they are from another era.
- Modern– Modern pieces are the perfect choice for those who want something that stands out from the crowd. They can be made from a variety of different materials.
- Extravagant jewelry pieces are perfect for brides who want to make a bold statement. They are often made from various materials, such as diamonds and crystals.
Tips for choosing the perfect Bridal Jewellery:
Look for quality – I will always advise you to purchase high-quality jewelry. We always buy the best wedding dresses, but when it comes to jewelry, we end up looking up at our pockets and compromising quality.
The color of your outfit and jewelry – The color of your outfit will always complement your jewelry.
Understand your neckline – Choose your necklace accordingly to your neckline
Think about the type of ring that you want – Do you want a ring with stones? Do you want a plain band? Do you want to mix and match? There are many different materials that you can choose from when it comes to wedding rings.
Spend some time looking at different styles – You should narrow your search before visiting a jewelry store so you don’t waste too much time.
Consider your partner’s style – When choosing jewelry, you should also consider your partner’s style. If you don’t know your partner’s style, you can ask them or look through their old jewelry.

Wow, lively article Dipika, I wish I had all this knowledge before my marriage😊 You research it very well and covered each depth of the topic. Love it.
Its Lovely
I so wish if I had see this post before my marriage. It was chaos inside the jewellery shop. You have given all pointers to take care of while purchasing. With soaring rates this is going to help.
I wish when I was getting married, would have got such an exclusive list. Thanks for sharing this, will share it with friends.
In Bengal we have a specific attire for the bride in middle class family and going against that makes one stand against the culture even if she wishes to dress up in Lehenga instead of banarasi saree … we get jewellery based on parents budget and not on what matches the saree look or the brides wish. Now time has changed brides are given chance to say about their choice but in limited middle class families.
I agree that jewellery is as important as the dress. I can say that because of my experience during my wedding. The details in this post made me realise why my wife was putting so much emphasis on jewellery.
This is such a comprehensive post on bridal jewellery. We all like to get decked up at our weddings and these bridal jewelleries are the key factor of a wedding. I am lately liking the mathaphool kind of thing, it looks so pretty.
Great article & very well explained. Yes choosing jewellery is as important as choosing the dress as unlike dress value of gold/diamond jewellery only appreciates.
Thank you, glad you found this useful
Great blog, I absolutely loved the ideas! I especially liked the unique designs and charm they bring to any outfit. Personally, I have been a big fan of a niche brand called Paksha, I can’t recommend them enough. They have a stunning collection of handcrafted pieces – some of them are simply awesome. You keep up the amazing work!
