Blame it on soaring gold and diamond prices or the growing preference for sleek and chic designs, modern brides are gravitating toward delicate jewelry for their big day. While heirloom pieces still hold sentimental value and remain part of their wedding collections, many women now prioritise minimalist pieces that are comfortable, easy to maintain, and versatile enough to be worn beyond the wedding—rather than ending up locked away in safes.
Jewellry shopping is one of the charms of wedding. It sets the tone for the entire celebration. Says Simran Shah, Vice President of Sales at Kama Jewelry, “Jewellery is essential for a wedding as it contributes to your look and style. Modern brides, however, are moving away from traditional metal-heavy designs and embracing simpler, more versatile styles that are timeless yet personal.”

Shah shares the top trends for brides who want their jewellery to be sleek and chic:
Elegance in minimalism: Minimalist jewellery is taking over bridal trends, with understated designs that effortlessly complement any wedding trousseau. A bride might opt for a delicate gold chain with a diamond pendant for her Mehndi function, paired with matching stud earrings.
For the Haldi, she may choose dainty floral-inspired jewellery, and for the reception, a sleek solitaire ring or a simple diamond choker can amp up her look. “A single well-chosen piece can make you stand out in a crowd,” shares Shah. “With weddings often stretching over long hours of rituals and celebrations, minimalist designs offer the perfect blend of comfort and elegance, ensuring you look stunning without feeling weighed down,” she adds.
Bold necklaces that steal the show: Nothing says bridal glamour like a statement diamond necklace. Whether it’s a dramatic solitaire pendant or a sleek diamond-lined choker, bold necklaces bring a sophisticated edge to both traditional and contemporary outfits. “A diamond necklace instantly boosts your look, giving you that timeless charm with a modern twist,” says Simran.

Customised jewelry that holds emotions:
Personalised pieces are becoming a go-to option for brides looking to add a sentimental touch to their wedding day. From engraved wedding dates to meaningful symbols, custom jewelry allows brides to create one-of-a-kind accessories.
“Custom pieces make your jewelry uniquely yours,” explains Simran, adding, “These designs carry emotional weight, transforming them into keepsakes you’ll treasure forever.”
Unconventional pairings and mixed metals: Say goodbye to single-metal traditions. Modern brides are exploring combinations of gold, rose gold, platinum, and even oxidised silver to create a bold and dynamic look. Mixed metals add depth and allow for endless layering possibilities.
“Mixing metals is no longer unconventional; it’s chic and versatile. It ensures you can wear your bridal jewelry even after the wedding, making it a lasting part of your collection,” she shares.
