Best Wedding Jewellers

Most famous types of wedding jewellery with their cost?

• Kundan jewellery:- Kundan jewellery is one of the oldest forms of jewellery, and it is still in trend. The word “Kundan” means pure 24k gold. This art originated from Rajasthan, where it was used, and now, it is demanded by brides from all over the country due to its graceful and elegant design. The beautiful and colourful glass stones are coated with a layer of pure gold from one side. Kundan or fusion of Kundan and meenakari jewellery are some of the most liked wedding jewellery, and the average cost of Kundan jewellery in India is from INR 50,000 to 2 lakhs.

• Gold jewellery:- Gold is a soft metal used to make Indian traditional jewellery, and gold jewellery can be easily seen in weddings, even no marriage is complete with gold. The 24-carat gold is the purest form of gold. However, 18k, 14k, and 10k gold have some proportion of copper, nickel, or other metal alloys. Mixing other alloys makes the gold harder and more durable. However, the quality of higher karats of gold is much better than gold with a lower karat value. When coming on the price, the price will be higher for 24k, around 48000/10g gold. 

• Meenakari:- Meenakari is a type of enamel art of Rajasthan and Gujarat. Each part of the design is painted with different graceful colours and heated to ensure that the enamel colour forms a bond with the base of the metal used in the design. Meenakari jewellery is a must for the bride-to-be to look like a queen on their special day. Moreover, the meenakari work on gold is more expensive compared to silver.

• Temple Jewellery :-Temple jewellery is an ethical form of jewellery, engraved with depictions of god and goddess of the southern temples. This artwork embeds various stones and gemstones in the golden design. It adds cultural heritage and looks exceptionally good at the same time. South Indian brides are incomplete without temple jewellery. The price of temple jewellery primarily depends on the stones and labour-power used.

• Polki:- Polki jewellery is the most famous wedding jewellery that brides never miss out on during their wedding ceremonies. However, it is more expensive than Kundan because uncut, raw diamonds are used to design this jewellery. The average cost of a Polki choker can cost you around 4-15 lakhs.

• Jadau:- If you are finding the most trendy jewellery to buy for your wedding, jadau jewellery is your type. The word “jad” in jadau itself means to engrave. In fact, Jadau is a method of designing jewellery in which real diamonds, gemstones, pearls, or ruby are embedded into gold. This method is also used in making Polki, Kundan, or meenakari jewellery. However, in jadau jewellery only high carat gold is used, such as 24k or 22k. That's why it is a little more costly than other jewellery with low carat gold.

• Pearl:- Pearl necklaces and chokers are famous pearl jewellery that every woman loves to wear to bring class and elegance to her look. These pearls are a type of precious gemstone collected from the seas and then converted into beautiful jewelleries. The cost of natural pearls can be up to 15,000 to 50,000 INR for one carat.

• Filigree:-Filigree is a delicate art form of making jewelleries in which easily bendable threads of gold or silver are twisted and then soldered at some places to create a beautiful jewellery design. Filigree rings are favoured jewellery that can be easily seen in the hands of engaged new ones.

Factors that you should keep in mind while buying wedding jewellery

Set a budget in the first place

First thing first, organise the money according to your budget so that you invest the right amount of money in the right place. There are tons of jewellery in the market that mesmerise you every time you see them. However, you have to stick to your budget and work accordingly if you don't want to dig a hole in your pocket.

Start the hunt as soon as possible

Finding a perfect wedding jewellery set from the best-reputed jeweller is an uphill battle. It takes more time when you want a unique design to be customised according to your needs and lifestyle. Therefore, always start early so that you get enough time to explore, inquire, compare and then buy. 

Go for trusted wedding jewellers

Always go for trusted and certified jewellers to avoid the chance of being cheated. Buy from your family jeweller. I am pretty sure that there will be one or two jewellers that your family and relatives trust and buy from them. Ask them and get in touch with those jewellers.

Know the purity

Before buying any piece of jewellery, always ask for its purity. The purity of gold can be assumed by carats. The price of 24k gold and 18k gold is different. 24-carat gold is 99.9% pure gold, and the cost of pure gold is more than the gold with 22k, 18k, 14k, or 10k. So, check the purity first and then pay.

Cross-check the weight 

Check the weight of gold content only, as a jewellery might have some stones used in it, which can increase the overall weight of the jewellery. 
 

Look for jewellery with hallmark

Investing in gold jewelleries is a huge investment that needs to be done very cautiously. Only buy hallmarked jewellery. Hallmark not only indicates the purity of jewellery but also ensures safe investment. It is a mark present on the inner sides or corners of the jewellery.

Compare and buy

You might see impulsive purchases as a good option. However, I would recommend you to go to several jewellery shops and compare their pricing and quality because there are chances of getting the same quality and designs at a lower price at any other shop.

Common mistakes that one should avoid when shopping for wedding jewellery 

Avoid jewelleries with stones 

Knowing the net weight of gold from the stone-studded jewellery is important which is neglected by many buyers. In this case, you pay more than the worth of the jewellery. Moreover, determining the purity of stones engraved in the gold is difficult.

Don't resell the jewellery to other jewellery

No one wants to sell their jewellery, there are some situations when people sell their jewellery at the time of emergency or to exchange it with any other trendy piece. In that situation, selling it to the same jewellers from whom you bought can be a great deal. As many local or branded jewellery stores claim to give 100% value of the gold used in the jewellery piece.

Avoid buying too many overlapping necklaces

You have probably heard that everything seems good when it's done in a required amount. Not too much and not too less. The same thing also applies in the case of jewellery. Don't overdo it. Keep everything subtle and elegant.

Never buy jewellery before the outfit

Not only for brides, but for every woman out there, the first thing I would suggest is you buy the outfit and then choose the jewellery accordingly.

What latest jewellery trends can you try with your wedding jewellery?

Buy a light necklace and a long necklace for layering with heavy detailing. This type of styling of the jewellery looks really beautiful and trendy. Priyanka Chopra has already tried layering the choker with several heavy necklaces on one of her wedding ceremonies.

Broad math patti

Broad math pattis are something that makes you overall look more graceful and you instantly feel like a rajwada queen after wearing it. Nowadays, they are in trend.

Wearing multicolor jewellery set 

If your outfit is white or multicolor, then you should definitely go for a multicolored necklace and earrings. It adds a crispiness and completes the whole look if your attire is in light colours. In addition to this, these jewellery comes in many contrasting colours so that you can choose one as per requirement.

Tips to choose the wedding jewellery that best suits you.

• Choose light coloured outfits and statement jewellery on the ceremonies like mehndi and haldi to make it more comfortable to have fun because mehndi, Haldi, Sangeet - are ceremonies to enjoy and celebrate.

• Select jewellery that matches your skin tone and neckline because even though the jewellery is expensive and beautiful, sometimes it doesn't suit the skin tone and neckline. 

• Once check out your family's heirloom jewellery before buying any jewellery as our mommies and grandmas have a bunch of beautiful antique jewellery pieces that may go really well with your lehenga after some customization.

• Always consult with your outfit designer and take advice from them for the jewellery that matches your outfit.

• Go for long haars with the main choker and create a better and trendy look and you can also wear them individually and create an altogether different look.

• Buy detachable jewellery because the wedding jewellery is obviously heavy and wedding-appropriate. If you buy detachable jewellery, then you can easily wear it on other occasions as well.
