The bridal jewellery edit for silver lovers

Yellow gold jewellery has always dominated the Indian bridal space. Finding silver-leaning bridal pieces is surprisingly difficult for a country that loves jewellery as much as we do. Walk into most stores or scroll through your feed, and you’ll be met with rows of warm toned everything—kundan, polki, antique finishes, and chunky temple work. All beautiful, yes. But if you gravitate towards icy tones of white gold, platinum, and silver, it’s a frustrating hunt.

Not every bride wants to wear yellow gold. Some have cooler undertones and don’t feel their best in warm metals. Or just prefer a more contemporary look in line with their style. The problem? Cool-toned bridal jewellery isn’t always easy to find. Plenty of Indian jewellers prioritise gold, and even when white metals show up, the designs can lean too minimal, missing the richness or detail you might want in a wedding look.

That’s slowly starting to change. Whether it’s jewellers' classic diamond sets in white gold or those experimenting with silver and gemstones in statement silhouettes, the idea of “cool-toned bridal” is starting to gain ground. The key is to look in the right places and be open to mixing eras, styles, and even materials.

Scroll below to find your silver lining, from diamonds set in cooler metals to gemstone-heavy designs that aren’t afraid of colour, and even pure silver pieces, we’ve found just what you need.

Frosted in diamonds

Diamonds have always had a place in bridal jewellery, but when set in white gold or platinum instead of yellow, they take on a more modern feel. The set from Badalia Diamonds is a good example. It has a traditional shape, but the white setting makes it look current. It pairs easily with lighter lehengas, especially in white, grey, or pastels. The Rare Heritage ring is a solid choice for brides who want a ring that feels substantial. It’s graphic and architectural, with a design that works well alone or in a stack. Kantilal Chhotalal has long offered diamond jewellery in cooler metals. These pieces are classic but don’t lean overly traditional, which makes them easy to reuse after the wedding.

Multi-colour on white

Coloured gemstones on white-toned settings dial things down. The Goenka Thai ruby set uses a diamond border to add lightness, giving it more balance and wearability. It’s a statement piece, but the overall effect is clean rather than heavy. Aneka’s necklaces are another option for brides who want something to layer with, more contemporary, and easy to wear. If you’re looking to include green, the Shruti Sushma emerald necklace keeps the colour palette bold, but the layout is linear and neat. It’s a good pick for someone who wants a pop of colour without going full maximalist.

The silver lining

Silver may not be a bridal staple, but Argentum Arts is making a strong case for it. Their work focuses on clean lines, high polish, and solid craftsmanship. Be it the glittering bridal set or staples like anklets and brooches, these intricately crafted pieces are perfectly suited for everything from the registration to the mehendi. If you’re building a look around cooler tones, or just want one piece that fits your style, silver, platinum and white gold are finally easier to find. And more importantly, they don’t feel like a compromise.
