A six-piece bridal set in pale green: the choker and the long haar are both built from leaf-shaped kundan motifs rather than round ones, with soft green stones set into clear kundan. Earrings, a maang tikka, a nath and a ring complete it.
The leaf motif runs through every piece, which gives this set a lighter, more botanical look than the round-medallion bridal sets beside it.
Pale green suits daytime ceremonies and mehendi far better than an evening reception. It is particularly good against ivory, gold and mint outfits.
Mehendi, haldi, daytime weddings and brides avoiding a red palette.
Pale stones show dust more than dark ones, so this set wants a dry brush before wearing rather than after. As with all kundan, keep it away from water. The leaf motifs have fine points that can catch on net and georgette, so put the set on after the outfit is in place.
Pale green also sits well beside gold jewellery worn by others in the family, which matters at a wedding where photographs are group photographs. A strong red or deep green set stands apart in those pictures; this one reads as part of the same palette without disappearing into it.
Leaf motifs are drawn from Mughal-era jewellery, where botanical shapes were preferred over geometric ones, and they read as softer because the eye follows a curve rather than a circle. Across a full set that difference compounds — this one looks noticeably gentler than a round-motif set of the same size.
Pale green is a harder colour to buy than red or white, because it narrows the outfits it will go with. The compensation is that very few guests will be wearing the same thing, which is the usual reason people choose it.
There is a practical reason leaf-motif sets suit daytime functions: the shape breaks up the reflection, so the jewellery does not flare in bright daylight the way a flat round medallion does. If the mehendi or haldi is outdoors, that is a real advantage in photographs.
For a bride who has already decided against red, or as a mehendi-day set in a larger trousseau. See more in bridal jewellery sets.
This is brass with a gold-tone plating rather than solid gold, which keeps the price where it is and the weight low enough to wear comfortably. Plating is a surface rather than a bulk property, so how long it lasts depends almost entirely on what it meets — perfume, hairspray and sweat all shorten it, while a dry cloth after wearing and a closed pouch between wearings extend it considerably.
Put this on after perfume, hairspray and hand cream, and take it off before washing, swimming or sleeping. Wipe with a dry soft cloth and use a dry soft brush around the stone settings and between any pearls, where a cloth cannot reach. Store it in a zip-lock pouch — the single most effective thing for a plated piece, because it keeps humid air off the metal. Never use silver polish, dip cleaners or an ultrasonic cleaner.
