A six-piece bridal set in deep red: a close kundan choker, a long layered rani haar whose tiers end in red drops, jhumka earrings, a maang tikka, a nath and a ring. The kundan stays clear white throughout while the red appears as beads and drops.
Red is carried entirely by the beads, not by the kundan, which keeps the stones bright. That is why this set reads as red from a distance and as gold and white up close.
Red bridal jewellery against a red lehenga is the traditional choice and still the most common. It also works against gold, ivory and maroon.
The main wedding ceremony, and for brides keeping to a traditional red lehenga.
Check the haar's hanging length against your outfit before the day. A rani haar that sits on heavy embroidery rather than on fabric will not lie flat, and the fix is usually a different blouse rather than a different necklace. Store each piece separately in its own pouch.
Clear kundan with coloured beads is the construction that lasts best in photographs. Coloured kundan can look dark under indoor light, while clear stones stay bright and let the bead colour sit around them — which is why most traditional bridal sets are built this way.
The layers of the haar are graded in length so each tier shows below the one above it. Worth checking when the set arrives: the tiers should hang clear of each other rather than sitting on top of one another, which is what a badly graded haar does.
Red remains the most requested bridal colour, which means a red set is also the one most likely to be worn once. If that matters, the choker and earrings from this set are the two pieces that carry over afterwards to other functions; the haar and the nath do not.
Bought as a wedding set rather than a gift in the usual sense, often by the bride's family. 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.
