Gold Chains: Subtle Sophistication Meets Royal Elegance
A gold chain is a basic yet versatile and essential piece for every man’s wedding wardrobe. Whether thick or thin, plain or intricately designed, a well-selected gold chain can subtly elevate your ethnic look.
How to Style It:
- With a Kurta: Wear a medium-length chain slightly exposed over a simple kurta for a hint of understated luxury.
- With a Sherwani or Achkan: Tuck it under the neckline for just a peek of gold, or go bold with layered chains that rest over the chest.
- With Indo-Western: A sleek rope or figaro chain goes well with fusion pieces like jackets, Nehru vests, or draped silhouettes.
Style Tip: Opt for a 22K gold chain for its rich yellow tone, and pair it with pendants or lockets that hold sentimental or spiritual meaning.
Brooches & Sarpech: The Maharaja Vibe
The brooch, or sarpech, is one of the most regal men’s jewellery pieces and can transform your look in seconds. Worn traditionally on turbans or as chest pins, these pieces now come in modern interpretations—gold with pearls, gemstones, or meenakari detailing.
How to Style It:
- On a Turban: A sarpech pinned onto a safa or turban adds a royal flair and is perfect for grooms.
- On a Bandhgala or Blazer: Use a gold brooch as a lapel pin to dress up a classic bandhgala or suit.
- With Dupattas or Stoles: Pin the brooch at the shoulder where your stole is draped for a secure yet stylish touch.
Style Tip: Choose a brooch that complements the embroidery of your outfit. If your attire is heavy, opt for a minimal brooch, and vice versa.
Cufflinks: The Finishing Touch
Often overlooked, cufflinks are small but mighty. They add polish to any formal outfit and are a subtle nod to your attention to detail. Gold cufflinks, especially engraved or gemstone-studded ones, can tie your entire look together.
How to Style It:
- With Formal Shirts: Pair gold cufflinks with a crisp white or ivory shirt under a tuxedo or bandhgala.
- With Kurta Sets: If you’re wearing a full-sleeve kurta with a jacket, opt for cufflinks for a western twist on a traditional look.
- As a Set: Match your cufflinks with your watch or bracelet for a coordinated feel.
Style Tip: Don’t shy away from personalized cufflinks. Initials, family crests, or zodiac motifs in gold give a custom, luxe edge.
Statement Rings: One Is Enough
A statement ring can be a conversation starter if worn right. Whether you go for a plain gold band, a gemstone-studded piece, or a chunky signet ring, this accessory shows confidence and class.
How to Style It:
- With Ethnic Wear: A single bold ring on your index or ring finger works well with kurtas, sherwanis, and even dhotis.
- With Suits: If you’re wearing a bandhgala or a western suit, a gold ring with a colored stone (like ruby or emerald) adds visual interest without clashing.
- With Multiple Rings: If you’re adventurous, you can wear more than one ring—but ensure balance by varying sizes and keeping other accessories minimal.
Style Tip: Keep your hands well-groomed! Statement rings draw attention, so make sure your nails are neat.
Gold Bracelets or Kadas: Tradition Meets Trend
Bracelets or gold kadas have been part of Indian men’s tradition for centuries. Today, they come in various designs—from bold traditional kadas to sleek modern chains—and work with both ethnic and fusion wear.
How to Style It:
- Classic Kada: Wear a traditional thick kada with sherwanis, dhoti suits, or even a kurta-pajama for that old-world charm.
- Modern Gold Bracelet: For Indo-western outfits or even semi-formal suits, a slim gold bracelet adds a stylish edge without looking too heavy.
- Stacking: You can pair a gold bracelet with a leather strap watch or beaded bracelets for a modern, layered look.
Style Tip: For weddings, avoid overly flashy bracelets. Stick to elegant, clean-cut designs that complement your outfit instead of overpowering it.
Bonus Styling Tips for Men’s Wedding Jewellery

- Groom’s Advantage: As a groom, don’t be afraid to go a little extra with layered chains, gem-studded brooches, and regal rings. After all, it’s your big day!
