A wedding usually means several functions, several outfits and one bride who needs to stay comfortable. This page explains how to plan bridal jewellery sets so the looks coordinate and nothing is forgotten.
Artificial jewellery: the descriptions on this page are about look and finish. They do not mean precious metal, natural gemstones or real diamonds. Ask for the materials and dimensions of the exact design you choose.
What a bridal set can include
- Necklace: often a choker plus a longer layered necklace
- Earrings: chandelier or jhumka-style, matched to the necklace
- Maang tikka or matha patti for the forehead
- Bangles or bracelets for both wrists
- A statement ring
- Optional pieces such as a nose ring, hand harness (haath phool) or anklets
Not every set includes every piece. Ask exactly which pieces come with the design you choose.
Planning across functions
Haldi and mehendi
Light, colourful pieces: Meenakari, beaded or floral styles that can handle a busy day.
Sangeet
Statement earrings and a lighter necklace that is comfortable for dancing.
Wedding ceremony
The full set: usually Kundan, antique or gold-plated, matched to the bridal outfit.
Reception
Often a change of mood: American Diamond or a single statement necklace with a gown or saree.

How early should I plan bridal jewellery?
As early as you can, ideally once outfits are chosen. Share your function dates when you first contact Kotawala Jewels so delivery can be planned.
Is bridal jewellery from Kotawala Jewels real gold?
No. It is artificial bridal jewellery in styles such as Kundan, antique, gold-plated and American Diamond. Ask for the materials of the exact set.
