Let’s talk iconic wedding jewellery moments, shall we? The timeless ones—the ones that make it to every bride’s Pinterest board. Here, every piece tells a story of legacy, love and the heirlooms you create on your wedding day. Now that’s what we call wedding bling goals!

Gayatri Devi

She set the bar high—just as royalty is meant to. Her wedding jewellery was a stunning showcase of traditional Rajputana craftsmanship, featuring an elaborate maang tikka and the iconic rani haar (a long necklace) adorned with pearls and diamonds.

Deepika Padukone

Heritage with a hint of diva. Padukone’s wedding jewellery—especially her choker and traditional South Indian gold pieces—was a masterful blend of tradition and modernity, with exquisite craftsmanship.

Priyanka Chopra Jonas

Remember her 75-foot Ralph Lauren wedding veil? Pure drama. But the real showstopper? The diamonds studding it, of course.

Sridevi

She made an entrance—literally. At her grand 1989 wedding, Sridevi set bridal jewellery goals before they were even a thing. She dazzled in a mix of intricate gold and diamond sets, with a special focus on a bold maang tikka and a multi-layered necklace.

Anushka Sharma

Sleek, chic, and all about uncut diamonds. Sharma’s classic choker set, paired with traditional earrings and a maang tikka, was the epitome of minimalist elegance. And it caught that magical Tuscan light just right.

Kareena Kapoor Khan

She had us swooning—and not just because Saif Ali Khan was the groom. Her vintage-inspired polki set was as regal as it was glamorous.

Sonam Kapoor Ahuja

She looked every bit the queen that she is. Kapoor’s wedding jewellery was a lavish layering of heavy jadau, diamond necklaces and a striking matha patti.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

A modern classic for a reason. She opted for traditional Maharashtrian jewellery, including a grand diamond-studded choker and signature temple jewellery that perfectly complemented her regal bridal attire.

Shaana Levy-Bahl

Effortless elegance. Levy’s wedding jewellery was a breathtaking fusion of contemporary refinement and timeless tradition—delicate diamond-studded pieces paired with an exquisite statement necklace. Understated yet undeniably dazzling, she quietly proved that less can indeed be more.
