Men’s jewellery is not just a minor accessory any longer. Why should the fairer sex have all the fun with makeup, attire, and jewellery? Today, jewellery is a very important part of the groom’s wedding trousseau. From the plain kadas, to the platinum chains, and diamond encrusted cuff links, jewellery for men relies on heritage, traditions, and individual tastes, too.
Let us delve into the wonderful world of men’s jewellery today.
Necklace Or Mala – Complementary Men’s Jewellery
Traditional grooms like those of the kingdoms and palaces, wore heavy gold jewellery equivalent to the bride’s. But today’s modern grooms prefer light necklaces and malas. Pearl malas stacked into 2-3 layers are very common with sherwanis and bandh galas, today. And of course, there will be rubies and emeralds combined with the pearls.

Wedding Rings – Most Important Piece
This is one piece, without which the engagement ceremony is incomplete. And the top choices for this piece happen to be gold and platinum. Gold is a traditional choice and is timeless. Moreover, it comes in a wide range of colours nowadays, like yellow, rose gold, and white. However, many grooms are also choosing the alternative, platinum. It suits almost all skin tones, because of its cool tone. And one can wear them after the event and revelry is over, too.

Brooches – Little In Size, But Makes A Big Statement
The brooch is really timeless. As men get more experimental with fashion, brooches make a comeback. This is one piece of jewellery that is small, but makes a huge personal statement. The ones for sherwanis, are stunners in their own right. You can choose from polki, diamonds and enamelled ones, as well.
While choosing your wedding jewellery, ensure to match the metal colours. Silver for silver, gold for gold, and so on. Pairing with other accessories is very essential.
Take Away…
Today, men’s jewellery for weddings and traditional occasions have become a way to express one’s personality. So, do it with elegance and make it not just a style statement, but a match for your timeless relationship.
