Brides these days are more into layers, choosing two smaller sets and layering them together instead of going for a bigger piece. This helps them use the Jewellery pieces later too in smaller events. Brides now a days aren’t afraid to experiment in colors. With a Red Lehenga usual contrast was always a green but pastel pink, blue and mint also is seen in a lot these days. Meenakari, pastel shades are in this season, Says Shili from Mortantra

Tribal Jewellery
Tribal inspired jewellery is the hottest trend these days. Colors and geometric designs of tribal jewellery are making a statement in the jewellery industry.
Double Tone Jewellery
Silver, Rose gold and very similar to it – dual tone jewellery are also in trend. It is made up of silver but has designs in gold and silver color.
Platinum Jewellery
Platinum is forever classic. Platinum is also called ‘white gold.’ It is expensive than Gold Jewellery. Again Platinum jewellery is not usually preferred for wedding day’s accessories but mostly gives a classic and elegant look at pre-wedding celebrations like Mehndi & Sangeet.
The platinum band is trendy for engagement ceremony, in which there are craving initials of name or full name of couples on their rings/bracelets. It is also a good option for gifting.
Diamond Jewellery
There is a different category of people who love to wear diamond jewellery on their wedding day. Diamond jewellery is also highly expensive. Diamond jewellery in uncut diamond design is fashionable these days. Love for diamond jewellery stays forever. Diamond bridal jewellery designs mostly in a combination of peals or colored gemstones.
Kundan & Polki – Jadau Jewellery
These jewellery designs are having the uniqueness of their own.
Kundan, also known as Bikaneri or Jaipuri jewellery, is a popular variation, wherein enameling with vivid colours and designs is on the reverse, while the Kundan setting is in the front. The city of Jaipur in Rajasthan has traditionally been the center for Kundan jewellery in India.
Polki jewellery is made up of rough, natural, uncut diamonds. It is also much shinier and much more expensive than Kundan jewellery. As you may know, Kundan is made up of glass stone (glass polki). However, Jadau is very wrongly misinterpreted, and people think it is a form of jewellery but it is not. Interestingly, it is a technique used in making Kundan and Polki jewellery. So while Kundan and Polki are stones, Jadau is a technique used to make Kundan/Polki jewellery.

Pearls & Gemstones
Pearls and gemstones are the elements which are fixed in jewellery pieces to make unique designs. Pearls are precious; Gemstones are readily available. Natural stones (crystals) are invaluable. Natural stones are not famous for bridal jewellery, especially. But pearl and gemstones are highly demanding. Colorful gemstones give a color matching look with the outfit-color. If you are not interested in so many colours, then pearls with silver or platinum or diamonds give you the best option to choose.

A lot of emerging and established designers have introduced their range of bridal wear which does not burn your pocket so yes this season we will see a lot of bridal jewellery set in metal alloy or silver with Swarovski elements / Zirconia or semi precious stones . The price of gold as dated on 13th August 2019 has shot up hence only a handful number brides will opt for Polki Jadau set 18-22K Gold.
The unconventional modern Indian contemporary bride loves to experiment and will opt of a choker layered with one or two Rani Haars to complete the look . The bride can go for three entirely different looks for for of her function with different styles of jewellery.
For a lot of other events like cocktail and sangeet , brides will opt for dressy headbands that are doing extremely well this season instead of going for the classic Maangtikka . It adds the look and the feel of a tiara giving it a modern look as compared to a classic Maangtikka which should be saved for the D-day.
Needless to say ORNAMAS is a popular name, offers a unique style of jewellery. Many celebrities we spotted wearing jewellery pieces by ORNAMAS as they have some unconventional pieces, part of their jewellery collection that the modern bride would definitely like to check.
