In the vibrant realm of Indian weddings, jewellery holds a special place, going beyond being just an accessory. It’s a symbol of tradition, culture, and, most importantly, love. More than a valuable possession, wedding jewellery reflects a family’s affection, especially towards their daughter on her big day.
Throughout history, royal brides have worn precious jewellery not just for beauty but as symbols of royalty, echoing the power and status of their kingdoms. These jewels, meticulously crafted with perfection, became cherished heirlooms, passed down through generations, leaving onlookers in awe. Even today, jewellery stands as a testament to family heritage, often an integral part of familial rituals, carefully handed over from ancestors to successive generations. Brooches, rings, bangles, and necklaces, each piece encapsulates a rich legacy within Indian households. Importantly, these heirloom pieces are not just meant for the bride but also for her groom and all the family members, weaving a tapestry of shared heritage and enduring love.
This tradition extends beyond historical treasures. From the moment a daughter is born, parents embark on planning her wedding jewellery, transforming these pieces into more than just gold or diamonds. They embody the relentless efforts of parents, the aspirations of witnessing their daughter’s joyful matrimony, and the bittersweet tears shed as they bid farewell to their beloved child entering a new chapter of life. In this way, each piece becomes a source of immense pride, a tangible link to a family’s past, present, and future.

As per ancient Indian bridal traditions, there is a practice of adorning the bride with 16 embellishments, known as the Solah Shringar. This age-old ritual, integral to bridal preparations, is believed to be inspired by the captivating story of Rati, the wife of Kamdev, the Hindu god of love. Rati’s penance to appease Goddess Lakshmi bore fruit as she received the blessings of the 16 adornments, which she wore to captivate and unite with Kamdev.
Each of these 16 adornments holds profound significance, meticulously chosen to complement the bride’s wedding attire. More than just accessories, they are a celebration of the bride’s beauty and a nod to tradition.
