1) Traditional Temple Jewelry
Temple Jewelry is exclusively found in traditional South Indian Brides especially in

necklace sets. Therefore, even by wearing just one prominent statement piece the
bride can easily sparkle in her silk saree. Originally, the necklace is finished in gold.
But, it is often embedded with a variety of stones and gems.
The most important feature of these necklaces is the carvings of Hindu Gods and
Goddesses. Though the jewelry is adequately bulky, traditional Hindu brides are
always excited to wear these necklaces due to its elegance. Necklaces in temple
jewelry come in various types. Necklaces with a catchy pendant and a uniform
structure with repetitive patterns are some of the best temple jewelry designs.
2) The 3-Layered Beauty
Layered gold-beaded necklaces have been worn by brides of different regions and
traditions. This beaded beauty was often found in Muslim brides. But, due to the
lovely design and the immense grace, these necklaces have conquered the hearts of
brides all across India. Unquestionably, this design can be worn even after the
wedding with simple ethnic attires. Hence, it is a good option for brides who are
looking for minimal necklaces which they can reuse after the wedding.
Interestingly, this design easily blends with the latest bridal gold necklace designs
from different regions and customs like traditional Mughal and Temple Jewelry.
Therefore, layered beaded necklaces still hold an impressive position in the wedding
jewelry industry. The number of layers varies from 3 to 6. And, you can even
customize the number of layers as per your taste.
3) The Evergreen Kaasu Maala/ Coin Necklace
This necklace is originated in Kerala. And, it has been a mandatory necklace piece
worn by almost all Kerala Hindu brides of the 1900s. The necklace consists of gold
coins fitted together in an impressive and neat pattern. To clarify, this necklace is still
considered as the best gold necklace design for wedding even by modern Kerala
Hindu brides. It is often paired with Kerala’s traditional Kasavu saree.
And, this serene attire is a trendy bridal look when finished with the right makeover
and accessories. Despite being a part of Hindu bridal jewelry, women of Kerala wear
this necklace on traditional celebrations like Onam, Vishu etc. Clearly, the old design
has been developed into various new forms. But, the classic original Kasu Mala is
always a head-turner even while worn with latest bridal necklace designs.

Mughal jewelry never fails to fascinate us even after decades of transformations in
wedding jewelry. Firstly, the shiny pearls found in these designs are not so micro-
beaded in size. Secondly, the quality and shine of the pearls are inexplicable and
beautiful. Added to that, gemstones and Kundan stones of various colors are also
embedded. There is always a signature layering pattern in all the Mughal jewelry
including wedding necklaces.
Marvelous flower motifs are yet another highlight of the designs. Brides often pair
Mughal Jewelry with lehengas and Sharara suits. And, Muslim brides are more
attracted to Mughal neckpieces. Evidently, Sharara suits are most commonly worn by
Muslim brides. But, Mughal jewelry still manages to win the hearts of brides all
across the country. It often makes an appearance in pre and post-wedding celebrations
of lots of Indian brides.

necklace. Together, the final look is giving a feel of completeness to her saree attire.
Brides who are looking forward to wearing 2 to 3 simple bridal necklace designs for
a minimal yet classy look can try this method of pairing.

silk sarees. These necklaces carry a bold middle layer and are finished with hanging
pearls at the bottom. Our bride is wearing a necklace where the top portion hugging
the neck is finished in gold beads which are spaced uniformly.
Microbeads can be incorporated into different types of gold necklaces. As smaller

number of pearls and beads in the necklace, others choose to have a single layer of
larger pearls hanging from the bottom of the necklace. Micro beaded pearls are found
to be the prettiest in choker necklaces.

Enamel-painted necklaces were a new type necklace design, decades ago. While
Kundan jewelry conquered the whole wedding jewelry industry, enamel-painted
collections had gone off the trends for a little white. But, those brides who are not fans
of stones or pearls but still require a pop of color in their neckpieces can go for
enamel-painted necklaces.
As compared to stone embedded necklaces, these designs are much more lightweight
and comfy. Also, there are necklaces where both enamel painting and stones are used
for detailing. Modern and contemporary wedding jewelry designers often tend to use
enamel paints. ‘A Little Goes a Long Way’ applies to these designs. Be careful to
choose necklaces with a perfect balance of enamel paint.
