The same six-piece bridal build in all white: a kundan choker, a long tiered rani haar, jhumka earrings, a maang tikka, a nath and a ring, with white pearl drops in place of coloured beads throughout.
Removing the colour leaves the gold frames and the stone shapes to carry the whole design, which is why this version looks lighter and more formal than the red and green ones.
All-white bridal jewellery is the version to buy if the outfit is not red — it carries pastel, ivory, peach, powder blue and gold equally well.
Receptions, Christian and court weddings, engagement ceremonies and pastel lehengas.
An all-white set shows marks from hand cream and foundation more than a coloured one, so put the jewellery on last and wipe it down before storing. The pearls should be kept out of direct sunlight, which yellows the coating on imitation pearls over time.
The ring and the nath are the two pieces most likely to need a decision on the day. Try both well in advance: a nath hoop has to be comfortable for several hours, and a bridal ring worn over mehendi fits differently from one tried on a bare hand a week earlier.
The modern pastel lehenga is the reason all-white bridal sets have become common. A red-and-green set against a powder blue or blush outfit looks borrowed from another wedding, while white kundan reads as part of the same palette.
It is also the version most likely to be worn again. A red bridal set is a once-worn piece for most people; the white one can be broken up afterwards, with the choker and earrings worn separately to other functions.
For a reception rather than a ceremony, this is usually the better of the bridal sets here. Reception outfits tend towards gowns, pastel lehengas and lighter sarees, and a red-and-green set against any of those looks borrowed from the morning's ceremony rather than chosen for the evening.
A thoughtful choice where the bride's outfit is pastel rather than red. 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.
