How to select wedding Jewellery

Decide on a total budget across all pieces (bridal set, groom's ring, family gifting) before shopping, since gold rates fluctuate daily.

Consider whether Jewellery will be bought as one matching set or pieces from different collections over time.

Factor in cultural and family traditions in Sri Lanka, this often includes bangles, and a full bridal set gifted by both families.

Build the Bridal Set Strategically

• Necklace — the centerpiece chooses a style (choker, layered, statement) that suits the neckline of the bridal saree/dress
• Earrings — should complement, not compete with, the necklace consider face shape and hairstyle (updo vs. loose hair)
• Bangles/Bracelet — traditional stacked bangles are common for Sri Lankan weddings consider comfort for hours of wear.
• Ring — get accurately sized in advance (see our ring-sizing guide) since swelling can occur on the wedding day itself
• Anklets/Waist chain (optional) — depending on cultural preference and outfit style

Match Jewellery to the Outfit, Not the Other Way Around

·        Choose Jewellery only after finalizing the bridal outfit's color, neckline, and embellishment level

·        Heavily embroidered/beaded outfits pair better with simpler Jewellery; plain fabrics can carry more statement pieces

·        Bring a swatch or photo of the outfit when shopping so pieces can be compared side-by-side.

Think About Comfort, Not Just Looks

Wedding Jewellery is often worn for many hours test weight and fit before the big day, not on it. Avoid pieces with sharp edges or loose stones that could snag on fabric or hair. If layering multiple necklaces or bangles, check they don't tangle or feel too heavy together.

Consider Longevity Beyond the Wedding Day

Choose pieces (especially the ring and one main set) that can be worn again for future occasions, not just the wedding. Classic designs tend to hold value and style better over decades than highly trend-specific pieces. Ask about resizing, re-polishing, and maintenance services in advance Ashadi Jewelers offers these so your pieces stay wearable for years to come.

Buy From a Trusted Source

• Confirm hallmarking/purity certification on every piece
• Ask for a clear price breakdown (gold value, making charges, stone cost) so there are no surprises
• Give yourself at least a few weeks before the wedding for custom orders, resizing, or engraving
• Shop with an established, trusted name like Ashadi Jewellers, where every piece is certified and backed by transparent pricing and after-sales care
