I would suggest that every bride should get a pair of jhumkis. They are traditional but you can also wear them on simple outfits like anarkalis and light sarees. They look very pretty and give a nice look to every outfit you wear.

Brinda says

A choker is a must have in every bride’s set I feel. I don’t like those super heavy haars that usually brides buy because you can’t wear them later. A choker you can wear with a heavy piece or even alone. That is the best part. I love temple jewellery so I invested in a temple jewellery choker but any style is fine.

This may be a cliché but it’s for a reason. A string of pearls or even a single strand pearl necklace is something I think all brides should own. Pearls have a long life and they can be worn with a saree, dress or even a shirt so I think you should invest in these. Buy good quality ones so they last you for a lifetime and maybe you can even pass them down as an heirloom piece to your daughter or family!

Studs! I don’t know why we tend to forget pieces that we actually use in daily lives. Buy a pair of diamond or pearl studs and you are sorted.

Upasana says

May sound too millennial but I am a millennial bride! It’s midi rings. I love them so much and they are a classic addition to my jewellery box. I wear them stacked or even on their own and they look so so pretty on almost everything I own. I have invested in mixed pieces so I can pair them depending on my outfits – simple bands, coloured stones, funky motif pieces everything. So I would suggest midi rings.

Wahida says

If you are looking to pick one piece of bridal jewellery for posterity, it would be a navratna haar or set. I love it for the simple fact that it can be worn with anything. I invested in one and wore it on my wedding day and now I wear it all the time with different things. Sometime I wear the earrings on their own too. Since there are so many colours in it you can match it with anything in your closet.
