Probably the biggest trend to come out of the south these days - guttapusalu is seen on every bride these days. It can be worn and paired with any sari and any other jewellery piece and it's a keeper!

Gold used to be the biggest buy for brides in the south but times they are a changing and that means, diamonds and layering them well. Even the bangles and kamarbandhs are included in this.

Bahubali got this trend back in the game for us mere mortals so the multi-layered earrings add a lot of depth to the earrings - get them as additional attachments so you can add variations.

The single strand maatha patti has given way to multi-layered maatha pattis - they look so elegant and with all the hairdos brides wear these days - they compliment them well.

Kempu or ruby has become a bigger stone to work with than any other these days - from chokers to bangles to earrings, rubies are ruling our jewellery boxes!
