There was a time when wedding jewellery meant weight, volume and the fear of neck strain by the end of the night. But weddings have changed. So have brides. With week-long celebrations, countless outfit changes and an army of cameras documenting every smile, today’s bridal jewellery has to do more than sparkle.

It’s that time of the year again when the wedding season kick starts, and brides and their BFFs face the challenge of choosing outfits, and matching jewellery. “The modern bride wants pieces that transition seamlessly from one function to another, without constant swapping or stress.” says Trisha Paul, Merchandising Head, KISNA Diamond and Gold Jewellery. “They want jewellery that looks beautiful, feels comfortable, and can be styled in more than one way.”

Jewellery today, is practical. With destination weddings, outdoor events and long celebrations, comfort matters as much as tradition. “Smart jewellery choices can actually make the whole wedding week easier,” Paul explains. “When a piece works across functions, it gives brides one less thing to worry about.” And in a week full of emotions, that matters.

Paul shares 5 jewellery pieces to carry you through wedding week

Heritage diamond bangle

Perfect for haldi, mehendi and daytime rituals, this bangle strikes the right balance between elegance and ease. Light enough to wear all day, yet striking enough to show up in photographs, it pairs effortlessly with floral outfits or pastel ensembles. “Day functions need jewellery that moves with you,” says Paul. “Comfort is key, especially when you’re constantly on your feet.”

Radiant fringe pearl necklace

Pearls are enjoying a comeback, and for good reason. Ideal for sangeet nights, engagement parties and pre-wedding dinners, this jewellery offers softness with sophistication. The fringe detail adds movement, catching the light as you dance. “Pearls are timeless, but styling them differently keeps them current,” notes Paul.

Light diamond chain bracelet

Hands play a starring role during the wedding ceremony, from rituals to ring exchanges. This delicate diamond bracelet is designed to complement bridal bangles without overpowering them. It also transitions smoothly into the reception, where it can be worn solo.

“Brides often forget how visible their hands are,” Paul adds. “This is a subtle but powerful piece.”

Rachel diamond nose pin: Small yet transformative, a nose pin anchors the entire bridal look. Worn across all functions, this diamond piece blends tradition with modern minimalism. “It’s one of those details that quietly completes the face,” says Paul. “And it saves you from changing jewellery every day.”
