Last Updated on March 3, 2022 by Sagarika Kapoor

There’s definitely something undeniably attractive about rajasthani jewellery. It sure is unlike any other and oh so beautiful. Even if you aren’t a rajasthani bride there is no harm in picking up a few jewellery designs from the culture. They definitely have some unique stuff to offer and would also make you stand out. Not a whole lot of people know what exactly classifies as Rajasthani jewellery design and may only end up looking at limited options. It’s always better to do prior research before you head out for your bridal jewellery shopping. We’re here to tell you what are your options as a Rajasthani bride or one interested in their jewellery. You will also have clarity as to what is in trend and what works well with your outfits. So here’s a low down.

Here are some options for Rajasthani Jewellery to opt from

The Large Nath

The big intricate designed naths sure are doing the rounds these days. They are definitely a rage and the perfect piece of rajasthani bride jewelery. You can tone down on the rest of the jewellery to carry this beautiful nath. There are so many designs available for you to choose from these days. An important tip is to make sure that you opt for a nath with a lock since it’s going to be rather heavy. The piece of jewellery would need the support. If you end up getting the clip-on style which is used for the usual naths, it might not stay. There’s a lot to play around here. You can opt for some kundan/polki work, some flower designs, add ghungroos or pearls, go for the multilayered chains for that extra support. It’s definitely going to make you stand out. We’d even recommend keeping the makeup light, with matte or smokey eyes, so that the nath shines.

Trendiest Rajasthani Jewellery – Borla

Everyone probably knows what a Borla is. People are loving it these days, so you sure can opt for that too! We’d even say to make sure you add this to your rajasthani jewellery set. You can go from super simple to super heavy designs for a Borla. It would look good either way for it is a versatile piece of jewellery. It’s especially perfect for people with a small forehead as it doesn’t cover your forehead completely. Make sure then you go for a thin patti with it also. We love these pearl and flower pattis, they definitely are pretty unique and you could definitely consider something like this. Of course, the nath too is game with something as light as this.

Pretty Sheeshpatti

Another super trendy piece from the collection of rajasthan jewellery, is the sheeshpatti. It’s a relatively new introduction in the jewellery world but it’s picking up fast. Not only are people doing the traditional borla sheeshpatti but also going all out with the sheeshpatti plus maang tika design. It definitely looks beautiful. Brides are creating some beautiful looks with the sheeshpatti. If you love experimenting, with this jewellery you can even go ahead and leave your hair open. If your forehead is relatively smaller then opt for the borla style of sheeshpatti. On the other hand if you have a bigger forehead and would like to cut it a little then one with a chunky maang tika is for you. 

Hasli Necklace

This Rajasthani necklace has been doing the rounds for years now! Not only as fancy bridal jewellery but as the trendy oxidised junk jewellery as well. People adapted the hasli design into these super trendy oxidised designs which are perfect for everyday accessorising as well. It’s the kind of necklace you can experiment with on your mehendi. However, if you’d like to use it on the wedding day, you can do that by layering up the necklaces. You can find some really beautiful floral designs in the market. If you wish you can also pair a simple hasli with a light borla and the heavy nath. You’ve got yourself the full rajasthani look. Another thing you can do is pair the hasli with the aad necklace and skip the heavy nath.

The Lakh Chura

This is the most Rajasthani piece of jewellery you can go for. The white lakh based chura definitely can amp up your chura game. Of course you can even pair it up with your usual red chura as well. It’s the perfect Rajasthani bangle design. Feel free to add some beautiful gold chunkier bangles in between the set. 

The Extravagant Hath Phool

Rajasthani hath phools sure are something else altogether. They are intricate, statement and beautiful. With some big chunky rings and pretty multilayered chains, they sure can grab all the attention. Keep your nails simple and chura short, to let the hath phool shine. It will also balance out the look. Since there’s so much happening with the hath phool, the other elements need a little bit of toning down. There’s even an intricate payal version of this, so if you wish you could go for matching payals as well. And you’ll have yourself the full traditional look. 

Traditional Rajasthani Jewellery – Aad

Who doesn’t love a pretty Rajasthani aad? There are so many beautiful designs for this necklace. It’s a beautiful choker style gold necklace. Nowadays they are also available in some gorgeous meenakari designs. You can play around with the colour of the pearl strings on the sides depending on your outfit. It’s more on the heavier side so we would recommend going lighter with the nath and borla if you are opting for those and the heavier hath phool option. It would balance out the look and make you look beautiful.

These were just some of the beautiful jewellery designs you can take inspiration from the Rajasthani culture. We hope you can find the perfect pieces for yourself. For more on wedding styling and planning, get in touch with us at Styl Inc. and let our team of experts guide you efficiently.
