Indians are known for their fetish for jewellery, and the weddings are a testimony of their love for Gold and everything glitzy and sparkling. All Indian brides love to adorn beautiful jewellery, and it is considered a sign of good fortune. Necklaces, ear rings, and finger rings are common, but there are some not-so-common traditional jewelry pieces that can take the style quotient to a whole new level. These jewelry pieces are pretty much in vogue, and can add a lot of elegance to your look. So, here are our chosen 5 traditional jewelry pieces that must figure on a bride’s shopping list:
Maang tikka
The good old maang tikka has never really moved out of the fashion scene. It beautifully embellishes the forehead, and makes the bride look pretty as a picture. Brides with a broader forehead can choose a larger maang tikka, while those with a smaller forehead can go for a smaller tikka.
Nose ring
From a small stud to an elaborate piece with an attached string connecting it to the ear ring, the nose ring can take many forms. A traditional Indian bridal look cannot be complete without a nose ping or a nose ring.
Anklets and toe rings

Waist band or kamarbandh
