Mehendi & Haldi Jewellery Guide for Brides

Short answer: for mehendi and haldi, choose light, bright, statement jewellery – ear cuffs or kaan chains, floral or shell chokers, and hand harnesses. Pick pieces that won't mind a little turmeric or henna and that photograph well in daylight. Here is a function-by-function guide.

Mehendi jewellery

• Go colourful: multicolour, pink, green or purple stones suit mehendi outfits.
• Keep your hands free: skip heavy bangles while the henna dries, and choose ear cuffs or long statement earrings instead.
• Try a hand harness after the henna dries: a haath phool shows off the design.

Haldi jewellery

• Go light and washable: haldi gets messy, so choose pieces in pearls, shells or floral materials rather than your most precious sets.
• Choose white or contrast colours: white shell and pearl jewellery stands out beautifully against yellow outfits.
• Add a statement choker: a floral or pearl choker frames the neckline in photos.

Sangeet and carnival

• Let one piece shine: a bold choker set or dramatic ear cuffs.
• Match your jewellery to the outfit: colour-matched custom sets make the whole look feel planned.
