Marriages are special, no matter where it might be held. The speciality of this occasion is essentially the same across cultures all over the world. Therefore, it comes without surprise that this is a day when women all over the world like to feel special. In Indian style weddings, this is something that is taken care of quite well. When you take a look at the gorgeous Indian bridal jewellery, it will be quite clear that the bride is going to have a really good time during this particular day. So then, one might wonder as to what are the unique characteristics that define this particular style of jewellery.

For the bride, there are a number of different things that are considered, all of which fall under the category of bridal jewellery. We can start off with the Indian bridal jewellery that is designed for the head and the hair. Some of the unique kinds of jewellery that fall here include the 'Tikka', which is a short chain that is worn down the partition of the hair, the 'Matha Patti', which is a decorated chain that is worn along the hair line and finally, the 'Jhoomer' or the 'Passa', which is usually ...
... clipped into the hair and worn above the temple. In some cases, there is also the Hair Chotli.

Moving to the Indian bridal jewellery for the hands and arms, there are different options like Cocktail Rings, Bajuband and traditional Indian Bangles. Again, these are broken down into more categories depending on the part of India that you are looking at. Variations exist when looking at jewellery in different states. Some 'Kangans' or bangles are classic designs that can be worn separately. 'Churis', or thinner bangles, are usually worn in groups so that they can be intermixed with the Kangans.

The nose also gets some fancy jewellery on the day of the wedding. Typically, Indian bridal jewellery for the nose includes 'Nath', which is a ring that can be as small as 1 sq. cm or could be a large hoop, as is the case in some North Indian states. The feet get the 'Payal', which is the term for anklets that a bride would wear on her wedding day. There are also toe rings that might be worn by more than just the bride on the day of the wedding. Since the weddings will normally have the bride in a sari, there are also multiple jewelleries and accessories that go with this style of clothing.

From the above, it can be summarized that the uniqueness of Indian bridal jewellery lies in the fact that there is so much to choose from. This sheer quantity and colourfulness associated with the bride's jewellery are reason enough to be bedazzled and excited on the day of your wedding. You can be rest assured that you will enjoy the wedding day and have a lot to look forward to when it comes to picking out the right jewellery for your needs.
