Function by function
Haldi
Yellow outfits, turmeric everywhere, and lots of hugging. Wear jewellery you won't worry about.
- Pick: oxidised jhumkas or simple floral earrings, a few bangles.
- Avoid: kundan and AD. Turmeric paste and water can get under stones and stain or loosen settings.
- Tip: take earrings off before the ceremony gets messy.
Mehendi
Usually colourful, outdoor and long. Your hands will be busy drying, so the focus moves to your ears and neck.
- Pick: statement oxidised or kundan-meena earrings with colourful enamel, maybe a maang tikka.
- Avoid: rings and bangles until the mehendi is dry.
- Tip: match the meena colour to your outfit for an easy coordinated look.
Sangeet
Dancing, lights and photos. This is the night for sparkle that moves.
- Pick: AD danglers or chandbalis, a statement ring, a bangle or bracelet.
- Avoid: heavy chokers that bounce while you dance.
- Tip: check that screw-backs are tight before you hit the dance floor.
Wedding ceremony
Traditional and often in silk. This is where a necklace set earns its place.
- Pick: a kundan or gold-tone choker or necklace set with matching earrings, or a statement necklace with simple studs.
- Avoid: competing with the bride. A single focal piece is more elegant than a full bridal-style set.
- Tip: with a silk saree and a boat-neck blouse, a choker sits perfectly. See our saree styling guide for necklines.
Reception
Evening, often a gown, lehenga or georgette saree.
- Pick: AD earrings and a delicate AD necklace, or long earrings alone with a deep neckline.
- Tip: if your outfit is heavily embellished, go earrings-only.
Get more looks from fewer pieces
On a tight budget, buy pieces that work at more than one function:
- One kundan or gold-tone necklace set: wedding ceremony plus reception with a lehenga.
- One pair of AD danglers: sangeet plus reception.
- One pair of oxidised or meena jhumkas: haldi plus mehendi.
- A bangle set in a neutral finish: works with everything.
That's a complete wedding wardrobe of jewellery for four functions. Mix and match with what you already own.
Kundan, AD or oxidised: which finish when?
| Finish | Best for | Pairs with |
|---|---|---|
| Kundan / kundan-meena | Ceremony, mehendi | Silk sarees, lehengas, jewel colours |
| AD (cubic zirconia) | Sangeet, reception | Georgette, net, gowns, pastels |
| Gold-tone | Ceremony | Zari silks, Kanjeevaram |
| Oxidised | Haldi, mehendi, day functions | Cotton, handloom, earthy and bright colours |
Honest notes before you buy
- Everything here is imitation jewellery. Kundan pieces use glass stones in a plated frame. AD is cubic zirconia, a lab-made stone, not diamond. Gold-tone means colour, not gold content.
- Prices shown include GST. Any shipping charge appears in your cart before you pay.
- Order early. Pieces ship from our partner in Jaipur and need 2 business days to dispatch plus delivery time. Please allow at least 10 days before the first function.
- Stock is limited per design. If something sells out after you pay, we refund it automatically and suggest alternatives.
- No change-of-mind returns, but anything damaged, defective or wrong is replaced or refunded. Record an unboxing video (policy).
Caring for wedding jewellery between functions
Kundan and AD hate moisture. After each function, wipe pieces with a dry cloth, let them air for ten minutes, then store each one separately in a zip pouch. Keep kundan sets flat in their box. Full details in our Care Guide.
