Bridal collection

Discover our handcrafted bridal collection — heritage-inspired fashion jewellery, designed and made in Jaipur.

The pieces a Jaipur bride wears.

The technique

An Indian wedding is not a single look — it is seven looks across haldi, mehendi, sangeet, baraat, pheras, reception, and vidaai. The jewellery rotation has to span yellow daylight on the lawn through candlelit indoor reception through pre-dawn pheras under fluorescent mandap lighting. Our bridal edit is calibrated for that arc: Kundan and Polki for the heavy ceremonial frames, Meenakari for the colour-rich mehendi and sangeet, Rajputi for the photographable formal portraits.

Every piece in the bridal edit is hand-set in our Jaipur atelier. The base is gold-plated brass or German-silver — the alloy the Rajput courts used because it holds the weight of a full choker without bending and takes plating evenly. Stones are kundan-style polki and American-diamond accents; pearl-look strands are faux-pearl; chain is silk-finish polyester. Enamel is kiln-fired multiple times for a complex piece. The catch is hand-soldered. Nandai is fashion / imitation jewellery — the silhouette is heritage, the materials are wardrobe-tier.

What to commission, what to buy off the shelf. Most brides anchor the trousseau with one or two off-the-shelf statement chokers from this edit, then commission a custom maang tikka or nath to tie the look together. Lead time on a custom piece is six to eight weeks from sketch to delivery. Off-the-shelf ships from Jaipur the same week. We can do both.

Seven days. One bride. Every piece earns its place.
