There are some items that are considered indispensable in a Kerala wedding, and the symbolism associated with these items goes beyond aesthetics. Here is the list of traditional pieces that any bride must have as a part of her Kerala wedding jewellery set:
● Mangalsutra / Thali: The most sacred item of the ceremony, representing the marriage itself,
which is tied on the bride by the groom during the wedding ceremony.

symbol of the Kerala tradition.

layering piece.

wealth.

movement and details.
● Vanki (armlet): Worn on the upper arm, completing the royal sculpture of the bridal drape.

look
● Bangles and kada: Often worn as sets, they add movement and elegance to every gesture made
during the ceremony.
● Nose ring (mookuthi): Delicate but meaningful piece that is traditionally worn by many Kerala
brides as part of their look.
There is an investment involved when buying Kerala bridal jewellery, and a little knowledge goes a long way in ensuring you make a sound decision. Things to keep in mind:
● BIS Hallmark: The jewellery must have a valid BIS hallmark, which attests to the purity and
authenticity of gold.
● Purity and karatage: Ensure that the item is either 22K or 18K gold and that the karatage is
accurate with respect to the quoted price.
● Making charges: Find out how the making charges are charged – as a flat rate or as a
percentage.
● Gross and net weight: Request for the actual gross and net weights of the jewellery as well as
the weight of the stones and beads.
● Certification of diamonds and gemstones: In the event the piece has diamonds, get certified
for clarity, cut, and carats.
● Exchange and buy back policy: Select a jeweller who has a clear exchange and buy-back policy
without deductions.
● Maintenance: Inquire whether lifetime maintenance services are available, such as cleaning and
polishing, free of charge.

taxes.
