It is wedding season. Your calendar is full, your sherwani or kurta is ready, and then someone asks, "What are you wearing with it?" Jewellery is the detail that separates a good wedding outfit from a great one.
The short answer: the closer you are to the mandap, the more jewellery the occasion expects. A groom can layer chains and wear a kada, a brother of the bride can go bold but balanced, and a guest should pick one or two quality pieces. Here is how to plan each look.
For the Groom
The groom is the centre of the photos, so the jewellery has to hold its own against heavy fabric and a lot of embroidery.
- Start with a bold chain. A Nawabi or Kohli design looks rich against a sherwani. Browse the Nawabi chains and Kohli design chains.
- Add a second, longer chain. Layering at different lengths adds richness. Our layering guide shows how.
- Choose a kada or a bracelet. See our gold plated kada collection or the Punjabi kada styles.
- Finish with a ring. A stone ring in a colour that suits the outfit looks sharp. Browse gold plated rings for men.
For the Groom's or Bride's Brother
You are in many photos and carrying many responsibilities. Choose jewellery that looks great but does not get in the way.
- A medium-weight chain with a pendant or a clean link.
- A kada or broad bracelet on the right wrist.
- One ring, not three.
Check our chain with pendant combo sets for easy matched pairs.
For the Wedding Guest
You are not the star. Dress to be admired, not to compete.
- With a suit or shirt: a neat chain at the collarbone and a slim bracelet.
- With a kurta or Indo-western: a medium chain on the outside and one ring.
- With a bandhgala or Nehru jacket: a chain tucked under the collar, with a kada.

Colour Matching for Wedding Outfits
- Ivory, cream and gold sherwanis: bold gold plated pieces look rich, but keep them in the same tone.
- Maroon, deep red and green: gold plated is a natural partner.
- Black or navy suits: a slim chain and one bold ring.
- Pastels: medium jewellery, so the outfit stays the star.
The Wedding Jewellery Timeline
Weddings are rarely flexible, so plan backwards.
- Four weeks before: decide the outfit and shortlist jewellery.
- Three weeks before: order. We dispatch within 1-2 business days, and delivery across India takes 3-7 days.
- Two weeks before: unbox on camera, check size and fit. Keep the packaging.
- One week before: do a trial with the full outfit.
- Wedding day: put jewellery on last, wipe it afterwards, and store it properly.
Remember that returns are accepted only for wrong or damaged items, within 7 days of delivery with an unboxing video. Size and preference are not valid return reasons, so check details in advance. Full rules are in our delivery and returns guide.
Making It Through a Long Wedding Day
- Wedding days are long and warm, so keep a soft cloth handy and wipe your jewellery when you change outfits.
- Avoid spraying perfume after you have put your jewellery on.
- Take it off before dancing too hard, and before any water games.

The golden rule: plan early, fit early, and let the outfit and the jewellery agree.
