Bridal jewellery trends we’re loving right now

The modern Indian bride embodies confidence, independence, and has a distinctive style. She embraces her heritage while seeking unique ways to express her individuality. Designers are taking notes and celebrating this spirit by creating jewellery that resonates with the modern bride's diverse identity. There’s been no lack of inspiration for our jewllery moodboards, thanks to occassions like the Ambani wedding and India Couture Week! From fusing traditional motifs with contemporary styles to leaning towards a more individualistic and versatile approach, let’s take a look at this season's bridal jewellery trends. 

Minimalistic pieces

It’s hard to see how Indian weddings can embrace minimalism, but the modern bride is doing just that. While the heavily adorned jewellery is still a choice for many, we’ve seen a rise in minimalistic styles. These pieces add a delicate touch to wedding looks, often balancing out the heavy outfits and makeup. Stud earrings, choker bands, and ornately detailed elements are enough to slay the bridal look.

Coloured gemstones

Though gold and diamonds are a traditional choice and hold a great deal of significance at Indian weddings, the new-gen bride is all about experimentation. Many are opting for coloured gemstone additions to their neckpieces to set themselves apart. The addition of gemstones lend a splash of vibrancy to any look. With emeralds leading as the most popular jewel of the season, brides are experimenting with tanzanite, sapphires, and rubies, too.

Sustainable jewellery 

At present, brides are not merely chasing style. They are looking to make conscious choices when it comes to fashion. Ethically sourced jewellery and fabrics are the need of the hour, and what better way to upcycle your heirlooms for the momentous occasion? This trend channels our love for all things vintage and upcycled. Even the demand for lab-grown and ethically sourced gems has considerably increased as a result of growing consciousness.

Mixed metals

Mixing gold and silver jewellery is on trend and for a good reason. The fusion of the two elements certainly builds on dramatic appeal, allowing you to stand apart from the crowd. This wedding season go all out by wearing diamonds, platinum, and gold together without feeling guilty. 

Personalised jewellery 

Weddings are an emotional affair, and brides are opting for elements in their look that ignite feelings and a personal touch. Carefully placed symbols, initials, and even quotes on their jewellery pieces are all the rage right now. Another whimsical way to play around with this trend is to add custom gemstones, especially birthstones, to your pieces. 

Layering 

Confused between a choker and a longer necklace? Brides are mastering the art of layering! No matter what’s trending at present, layering necklaces (much like stacking bracelets) has never failed for any occasion. This juxtaposition of accessories always makes for a dramatic and stylish choice. You can choose to experiment with a range of traditional and contemporary styles like polki and jadau jewellery.
