If the latest celebrity wedding looks are any indication, modern brides are done buying jewellery that’s destined for a lifetime in the locker. They want jewels that they can wear and cherish over and over again, turning heads every single time. With pieces spotted on Sonam Kapoor, Mrunal Thakur, and Kareena Kapoor Khan, Rare Heritage’s bridal jewellery edit is vintage-inspired, yet modern in spirit. Rooted in storytelling and crafted with ancestral techniques, their designs carry the sentimental value of an heirloom while still feeling unmistakably current. This approach is what makes the Mumbai atelier such a fixture in celebrity wardrobes. Here, we’ve curated a selection of jewels from Rare Heritage that are defining a new standard for bridal sparkle.
A statement neckpiece
This stunner from Rare Heritage’s Beyond Borders collection is jewellery in couture form. The fluid, snaked silhouette sits on the collarbone almost like a piece of wearable architecture. The two emerald drops add a touch of bold, editorial drama. It pairs beautifully with a sculpted gown for your cocktail night, its criss-cross form tracing the décolletage in a really striking way. And once the wedding celebrations are over, you could just as easily bring it out for black-tie evenings, formal dinners, and any event that requires you to serve glam.
Contemporary accents you’ll keep coming back to
Modern bridal styling is all about pieces that are endlessly versatile. The jewels in this look prove exactly why Rare Heritage has become a go-to for brides with a modern aesthetic. Each piece is contemporary in spirit and yet has massive staying power. You can pair the stunning ear cuff with a sari one day and a structured gown the next; the diamond ring instantly elevates even the simplest outfit; and the elegant bracelet works everywhere from a mehendi afternoon to a girls’ brunch long after the wedding.
A fresh take on heritage jewellery
This look is proof that you don’t always have to go bigger or heavier to make a statement. This heirloom-worthy necklace from Rare Heritage carries old-world richness, while the playful mix of colour keeps it feeling fresh and surprisingly easy to style for festive gatherings, family functions, and more. For brides, it’s a standout choice for the wedding day, especially with ivory, red, or pastel ensembles.
Fit for a queen
Rare Heritage has always had a distinct way of interpreting regality, one that’s grounded in Indian craft, but expressed with a global sensibility. Traditional in detailing, yet evocative of a modern-day Cleopatra, these intricate pieces from their Beyond Borders collection are a perfect example of that balance. The necklace’s structured form, paired with the matching cuff and headpiece, create a showstopping look. It’s an elegant choice for a reception or sangeet, and remains just as impactful when styled beyond the wedding week.
Silhouettes that stand out
We’ve seen so many emerald and diamond bridal sets in the last few years that ultimately all look the same. This is not one of them. There’s a distinctly modern energy to it that immediately sets it apart. The neckpiece has a sculpted quality that lends it a certain attitude, while the earrings and rings add movement and personality without overwhelming the look. For brides who want pieces with character rather than convention, this is the perfect choice.
