Top 10 Bridal Jewellery Trends Every Indian Bride Needs in 2025

Bridal jewellery is one of the most important parts of an Indian wedding. Every bride dreams of looking radiant, elegant, and timeless — and jewellery is what completes the look. In 2025, brides are embracing a mix of traditional heritage designs and modern statement pieces, making their wedding look truly unique.

At Mahila, we bring you the best of both worlds — from antique temple jewellery to jadau kundan chokers and Victorian diamond-look sets. Here are the top 10 bridal jewellery trends every Indian bride should know about this year.

1. Antique Temple Jewellery Sets

Temple jewellery remains the top choice for South Indian brides. Intricately crafted with Lakshmi Devi motifs, peacocks, and traditional carvings, these sets symbolize prosperity and divine blessings. A complete temple set often includes a long haram, choker, jhumkas, vaddanam (waist belt), and vanki (armlets).

2. Jadau Kundan Chokers

The richness of Jadau Kundan jewellery makes it a must-have for modern brides. Chokers with polki stones, pearls, and meenakari detailing pair beautifully with both lehengas and silk sarees. Brides are layering them with longer harams for a regal bridal look.

3. Lakshmi Devi Vaddanam (Waist Belts)

The vaddanam, or bridal kamarbandh, continues to be a symbol of tradition and grandeur. In 2025, brides prefer medium-sized vaddanams with Lakshmi Devi motifs, peacocks, and antique gold finishes — elegant yet comfortable to wear during long ceremonies.

4. Victorian Diamond-Look Chokers

For the reception, brides are moving towards Victorian-style chokers that give a diamond jewellery effect at a fraction of the price. These chokers, set with CZ stones and intricate settings, are perfect for evening looks with lehengas or gowns.

5. Multi-Layered Harams

Layering is a big trend in 2025. Brides are wearing two or three harams together — one antique, one kundan, and sometimes a Victorian piece — to create a grand, stacked bridal look. This mix of styles adds richness to both sarees and lehengas.

6. Kasu Mala Necklaces

The traditional kasu mala (coin necklace) has made a big comeback. Symbolizing wealth and prosperity, these necklaces are often worn during muhurtham ceremonies. Brides are pairing kasu malas with chokers or temple harams for a powerful statement.

7. Bridal Bangles & Glass Bangles

No bridal look is complete without bangles. In 2025, brides are stacking antique bridal bangles with colorful glass bangles to match their sarees or lehengas. The combination of gold-finish bangles with vibrant glass ones adds elegance and tradition to the bride’s look.

8. Statement Maang Tikka

The maang tikka is no longer just a small accessory — it’s becoming a bold bridal statement. Oversized tikkas with kundan, pearls, or antique designs frame the bride’s face beautifully, especially for close-up wedding photography. Maang Tikka by Mahila

9. Vanki (Armlets)

The traditional South Indian vanki, shaped like a “V,” is an iconic bridal ornament. Brides are opting for antique gold vankis with goddess motifs or floral patterns, often studded with red and green stones for a festive touch.

10. Modern Mangalsutras

Mangalsutras are getting a modern twist in 2025. Instead of heavy gold chains, brides prefer delicate imitation mangalsutras with CZ stones, kundan pendants, or antique motifs. These designs are lightweight, elegant, and perfect for daily wear after the wedding.
