There are a lot of women who avoid wearing gold. It may be because it doesn’t suit them or it can be simply because they just don’t like wearing it. Gold can be a bit overpowering over your lovely outfit or may look a bit outdated as well. If you feel like ditching desi tradition a bit and want to try something apart from gold, we have got the perfect solution for you. Whether it’s your mehndi, dholki, bridal shower, valima, barat or any of the post-wedding parties, we have got you covered!
KUNDAN –
A lot of brides opt for kundan as it comes in a decent budget range and the designs and styles present in the market are endless. Kundan is the purest form of gold and one of the most popular jewellery trends these days. It involves the use of semi precious or glass stones and gems to create a stunning jewellery piece. 
SILVER MAGIC –
With everyone around you wearing gold, you’ll stand out with the silver jewellery. If you are the kind of person who likes earthy tones and traditional craft, then you shouldn’t think twice. Silver looks splendid with cool tones especially with blues, blacks and grey. From vintage to traditional to tribal to contemporary, silver sure does let you experiment with your jewellery. It will look gorgeous on your casual attire. Go for Chand baali and big necklaces, which are in trend these days. This is a unique style especially for your post weding dawats or bridal shower. Pair it with pastel color dresses.
COLORFUL MEENAKARI –
It is enamel-coated gold jewellery that comes in a variety of colours depending on the design and craftsmanship – the surface is chiselled into shape embedding different colours into the ornamentation. Want to give out an easy and relaxed vibe at the shaadi? Opt for meenakari bridal jewellery sets that are stylish and colourful without looking over the top. You can definately go for menakaris on your wedding parties or even on your mehndi or dholki. If your bridal dress is very heavy and you want your jewelry to catch everyone’s eye, you can go for a heavy menakari set even on your barat.
DIAMOND JEWELRY –
Diamond jewellery are the next best option if you wanna ditch the traditional gold and can afford it as well. Diamond jewellery can pair elegantly with your reception dress or engagement gown. However, most diamond jewellery is mounted on gold itself, but you can opt for white gold so that all the world sees is the brilliance of white and the gleam.
ELEGANT JARAU –
Jadau is a popular technique that is used to create gorgeous jewellery using stones ranging from pearls to crystals, glass beads, ruby, emeralds and other semi-precious stones. The stones are embedded in melted gold. Jarau chokers are trending alot these days.
MAGNIFICIENT PEARLS –
Pearls are a great option, if not for the wedding then they are a great option for your engagement and reception. We are all familiar with pearls and believe it or not, layered pearl strings are a great option for the bride. Classic and contemporary, there are primarily two types of pearls – natural and cultured, and the colours mainly include off-white, blush pink, grey and light gold. You can add a western look to your attire with these pearls on your valima or engagement ceremony or even on your bridal shower.
PACHIKAM JEWELRY –
Pachchikam jewellery encompasses various ornaments such as rings, jhumkas, bracelets, necklaces, earnings, chokers and much more. A fragile form of jewellery, it uses silver as its base and hence is friendly on the pocket too. The stones used are usually coloured semi-precious stones along with glass. If you’re going in for a chic and minimalistic look pachchikam is your best bet. These are a great option for your post wedding dawats. You can wear it with a nice casual lenhga or a saree. It is sure to get everyone’s attention.
THE ROYAL POLKI –
For the absolute royal look, opt for a polki haar for the wedding day. Polki in simple terms looks like a more stunning version of kundan. Polkis are uncut and unrefined diamonds set on gold and it sure does look like a million bucks. Polki is made of unfinished natural diamonds – those that come in their natural shape and don’t need any polishing or finishing. They are mined from the earth in their natural state and used in jewellery.
COLOSSAL CRYSTAL –
Don’t step back from experimentation. It’s your day and it’s alright to go over the top. Huge crystal elements along with some metals look marvellous! Swarovski is what we are thinking of as well.
HYDERABADI TOUCH –
Hyderabadi jewellery was a trend back in the olden days but the fashion has returned in its full zest and you’ll be seeing lots of brides going for Hyderabadi jewellery this wedding season. Pair it with other kinds like Polki or pearls or wear just the Hyderabadi – either way, this adds a lovely traditional look to your whole outfit. You can definately go for a Satlara paired with a gulubund for a traditional and deleciate look.
