This wedding season, the buzzword is curate. And top jewellers are redefining what it means for bridal jewellery. For bridal bijoux boxes, this translates as putting together a collection of modern heirlooms that goes beyond your walk down the aisle. It’s mixing minimal and maximal, creating a striking balance between statement grandeur and subtle elegance. Think rani haars paired with delicate Victorian chokers or large stones thoughtfully set on smaller. It’s about maximum impact with minimal effort. It’s personalising the pieces by putting your own stamp on staples and choosing designs that reflect your style and story rather than following tradition or fashion blindly. Layering necklaces, stacking bangles or opting for unconventional gemstone palettes ensures each piece feels curated rather than pre-selected. The result is jewellery that honours heritage and embraces individuality, making every look unforgettable on the big day and beyond.
Bold Jewellery with a Modern Twist
“Traditional Indian jewellery will evolve to incorporate more contemporary designs, while retaining cultural significance. Expect to see bold, oversized pieces like large chokers, statement earrings, and chunky bracelets, with a fusion of metals and gemstones. The use of unusual stones like aquamarine, tanzanite, and pink sapphires, alongside classic diamonds, will grow in popularity,” says Gursimran Singh Chadha, Founder, Jagat Jewels.
One Statement Piece
“I see brides wearing less accessories and sticking to a single statement look with an ornate necklace, medium-sized earrings and maang tikka. Precious metal-wise, gold all the way, along with a gravitation towards rubelites and morganites. Setting of jewellery will lean towards a mix of prong, shared prong, bazel and pave styles,” shares Nitin Goenka, CEO, Goenka India.
Layering Jewellery
“Layering will take centre stage, allowing brides to play with necklaces, bangles, and rings for a customised yet cohesive look. Designs will emphasize intricate karigari paired with modern silhouettes. Styling will focus on balance, focusing on key pieces instead of overwhelming the look,” says Vinay Gupta, Founder & Creative Director of Shri Paramani Jewels.
Lightweight & Versatile
“The trend is shifting from heavy jewellery to pieces that are lightweight yet impactful, such as long earrings, a single stunning tikka, or a delicate bracelet. Brides are beginning to value quality and craftsmanship, seeking pieces that can be used for multiple events rather than just one grand occasion,” says Vinay of Shri Paramani Jewels.
Wrist & Ring Stacking
“Brides in 2025 are embracing the versatility of layering jewellery to personalise their looks. Not limited to layering chokers with chains, but also stacking multiple bangles or rings in contrasting metals. Layering offers brides the freedom to style their accessories in ways that reflect their individuality and transition seamlessly across events,” Bhavya Shah, Founder, Shea Luxe Jewels.
OTT Stones
“Maximalism is key when it comes to bridal jewellery. Big gemstones makes an ensemble very distinct and looks apt. This year, diamonds will be the go-to not just for evening events, but pheras too. We, as a brand, vouch for it because these are pieces that you cherish forever,” Dr Ketan Chokshi, Managing Director, Narayan Jewellers.
Bold Collars
“Bold collars redefining bridal elegance and one-of-a-kind designs will dominate modern bridal jewellery. The styles will inch towards geometric and sculptural pieces that exude sophistication. When it comes to setting, I’d go for pavé and bezel settings for a sleek, modern finish, with a focus on natural diamonds and vibrant precious stones,” says Renu Oberoi.
Palm Cuffs + Right Hand Rings
“Brides are favouring one-of-a-kind wrist and palm cuffs, instead of conventional kadas and bangles. I see this shift especially for pre-wedding thematic nights. There’s also the big trend for wearing powerful rings on the right hand, which will steal the spotlight during cake cutting and Champagne toasts,” says Jatin Chokshi, Managing Director, Narayan Jewellers.
Baroque Pearls
“Baroque pearls are set to take centre stage in bridal jewellery. Their organic shapes and wide spectrum of colours bring raw elegance and distinct, artisanal charm to wedding day accessories. From the rehearsal dinner to reception, these pearls seamlessly enhance every celebration, adding a touch of romance and elegance,” says Tarang Arora, Creative Director and CEO Of Amrapali Jewels.
Emeralds
“Emeralds are having their moment. In 2025, expect them to be bigger, bolder, and brighter—think grand chokers and jaw-dropping earrings. Green is officially the bridal colour that says, ‘Here I am’. Additionally, polki with antique finishes is making waves. These designs carry a sense of nostalgia, while still feeling fresh,” shares Prerna Rajpal of Amaris Jewels.
