A gorgeous pair of statement chandbaali earrings is a bridal trousseau staple. A versatile pair of kundan earrings can be adorned for pre-nuptial ceremonies and will be a perfect addition to your jewel box for upcoming festivities too. For low-key wedding affairs, keep a couple of pair of drop earrings or jhumkis to enhance your striking glow through the festivities.
Traditional motifs have found their way into contemporary designs but a classic remains a classic. Chokers have always been a part of bridal jewellery; so your trousseau is incomplete without one. A multi-string pearl choker with kundan or meenakari work will go well with your bridal lehenga as well as your benarasi sarees later. A Rajputi Aadh necklace is another antiquated version of a choker that can be bequeathed to posterity.

Globally-savvy fashionistas these days are choosing timeless pieces over trend-led baubles to glam up days to come. A sizeable selection of cocktail and traditional rings can be curated to complement your appearance for not just your wedding but for several others’ too.

A beautiful set jewelled with emerald or rubies makes for a perfect pick to accentuate your bridal glow. Style your cocktail look and reception appearance enriched with imperial nuances to channel a princess-like vibe.
Investing in sizable pieces of bangles is no brainer to go with your desi appearances post the wedding. There’s nothing more eye-pleasing than dainty bracelets staked to complement your ethnic ensembles. Also, a couple of statement cuffs are proven saviours from your accessorizing dilemma.
