An Indian bride spends a lot of time and money on ensuring that her look is perfect. From selecting the perfect designer garment to hiring the best hair and make-up experts, she goes to a lot of trouble to ensure her wedding day look is perfect from head to toe. However, it doesn’t matter if she chooses to wear the finest saree or the best of Indian lehengas; her look is incomplete without the addition of the traditional Indian jewellery pieces that symbolically affirm her transition into matrimony. Here are some of the most important pieces of Indian jewellery a Hindu bride must have as part of her traditional ensemble:

Mangalsutra

This is a necklace that is tied around the neck of the woman by the man during the ceremony, as a symbolic representation of her wedded status. It is typically composed of a string of black and yellow (gold) beads with a gold pendant at the end shaped like a horizontal oval.

Maang Tikka

This is a forehead ornament that extends from a little above the hairline to the middle of the forehead. The mang tikka is placed squarely in the middle of the eyebrows and is typically made of gold. It is part of most bridal sets and can be made in different traditional styles such as Kundan, Meenakari etc.

Bridal Bangles or Churi

They are differently colored in different parts of the country, with red and gold being the most popular and commonly used combination for brides. They can be made of either glass or gold.

Besides these three, there are many other bridal Indian jewellery pieces such as the kaleera, hath kamal, anklets, earrings and rings which are also considered crucial. Women can find all of these beautiful and auspicious jewelry types at Utsav Fashion, an ethnic fashion portal known for its wide ranging catalogue of authentic and high quality products.
