Most Used Gold Jewellery in Kerala Weddings

An Indian wedding is a celebration of weeks. From the clothes to the jewellery, the food to the music, everything is grand and big. A women’s wedding day is the best day of her life and she wants to and deserves to be the centre of attention on her special. The main differentiator that completely makes her stand out of the crowd is her grand traditional gold jewellery. No matter how modern the bride is, she still goes for traditional wedding jewellery sets for brides because of the grandeur it adds to her look and to the wedding.

While brides still go for the classic Malayali bride look with Kerala traditional jewellery pieces like the palakka mala, mullamottu mala, jhimkis etc. for the temple weddings, a lot of them do prefer a North Indian themed look at least for one function of the wedding, like the mehendi or the reception.

Some famous styles of North Indian jewellery preferred by Kerala brides are the heavy kundan works and polki works, that completely transform the attire of a bride with their huge neckpieces that spread across the neck and sometimes even till the shoulders. These are mostly styled with fancy sarees, lehengas or cholis that give a Mughal aura to the bride. The various antique jewellery pieces also bring about a sense of luxury and richness to the bride’s look.

Though the jewellery in itself is classic or antique, brides and stylists bring a twist with innovative ways to wear them. Grand neckpieces are used as head pieces (mathapatti),  arm cuffs and waist chains, Simpler necklaces as nettichutti (maangtikka), and grand pendants as jhoomar in the umraojaan style.

Some trends that remain unwaivered are the use of gold and diamond jewellery. Every bride has at least one beautiful gold and diamond neckpiece irrespective of size or grandeur. The classic name engraved gold engagement ring has also been irreplaceable in Malayali weddings.

Another trend seen in wedding jewellery sets for brides are the addition of diamonds. Diamonds are not seen in exclusive diamond jewellery anymore, they are now even embedded in traditional gold jewellery. Diamonds are seen in classic Kerala jewellery, Mughal jewellery, gemstone jewellery and more bringing a contemporary touch to classic timeless styles. Uncut diamonds are also another antique trend of the Mughal rajas that has arose again and is the style rage of the season. 

There are so many beautiful styles available, it’s actually become harder for the bride to make up her mind on what she wants. So our one big tip for you is to decide what theme you would like for your wedding and attire, or the colour tone you would prefer. For example if you want a Mughal look, go for heavy kundan and polki and luxurious colours like royal green, red, blue etc. However if you’d rather go for a classic wedding, chose pastel shades, and diamond and gemstone jewellery.
