The only ‘something blue’ bridal jewellery edit you need

The old wedding rhyme is still giving jewellery cues. Something old (vintage pearls and polki), something new (we’ve got that long list of bridal essentials), something borrowed (hello, family heirlooms), and then, the pièce de résistance, something blue (think deep blue sapphires and lapis, sparkling tanzanites and paraibas, and pops of turquoise and hand-painted enamel). Blue stones have always held their own in bridal traditions for decades now; think Princess Diana’s and now Kate Middleton’s 12-carat oval Ceylon sapphire engagement ring. And more recently, Anne Hathaway’s 123-carat sugarloaf sapphire-studded Bvlgari necklace at the Met Gala this year brought blue stone jewellery back in the spotlight and on every bridal wishlist. 

Here’s your ‘something blue’ Indian wedding-worthy jewellery pieces that get the memo—and then some.

Bring on the drama

Sculptural, bold, and structured, these pieces are for the bride who loves a hero moment. Rare Heritage’s violet sapphire and marquise diamond-encrusted ear cuff, with its sleek architectural energy, is as sharp as it is photogenic. Or match your whole look with Hazoorilal Legacy’s linear sapphire-and-diamond set. The necklace and earrings sit clean, with sharp step-cut stones and baguette borders, perfect for your cocktail look. Aneka goes slightly futuristic with its Kaleido Prism ring: a two-finger piece (talk about making a statement!) set with lapis lazuli, turquoise, and iolite.

Make it heritage

Birdhichand Ghanshyamdas makes a case for layered kundan with blue bead fringes. These earrings are big, bridal, and unapologetically ornate, ideal for the bride who wants to feel like modern royalty. Goenka India dials up the movement with dangling sapphire beads suspended from diamond-detailed tops. They feel classic but kinetic, the kind of piece that knows how to work a slow-mo twirl. Jadau Jewellery by Falguni Mehta’s statement chandeliers are studded with polkis, emeralds, uncut diamonds, and blue chalcedony drops. The scale is large, the look is heritage maximalism, and the vibe is very much ‘I do with a side of I dare’.

Add a pop of blue

Sanjay Gupta Hyderabad brings geometry into your bridal look with a sapphire necklace built on sharp lines and baguette cuts. Think precision, perfect. Badalia Diamond delivers a solitaire sapphire statement that’s the cocktail ring of all your dreams. With trapezoid diamonds on either side, the layout is linear and unfussy but still rich with intention. Alok Lodha Jewels plays with floral symmetry. Oval sapphires form the core of this choker set, flanked by diamond petals arranged with grace. 

Extra, extra

For the eclectic bride, who loves to make her own statement, go for Kantilal Chhotalal’s parrot brooch and wear it in your hair or on your lapel. Proof that your ‘something blue’ doesn’t always need to be front and centre to make an impact.
