Hindu weddings are all about traditions and auspicious symbols. When it comes to the bride’s look, one of the most important things she adorns on the big day is the mangalsutra. Mangalsutra literally translates to an auspicious thread. It is a dainty necklace made of black and gold beads and a pendant that the groom ties around the bride’s neck to signify their holy union. While the tradition is age-old, mangalsutra designs evolve every now and then as the trends keep changing. For earlier generations, mangalsutra designs meant a maximalist gold pendant with a long beaded chain. However, lately the trend has changed to shorter, minimalistic designs with more diamonds than gold.

These days, there are unlimited options available for brides-to-be and often it can get very confusing. From age old classics and personalized pendants to colorful pendants and charms, there is a lot to choose from. If you’re a bride-to-be, we’ve made a list of all the trending designs that you can refer to before buying the one you love. Prices of all mangalsutras depend on the design and the make and so it varies widely. However, it is always a good idea to know the budget before going out to explore your options.

Here are Some Trending Mangalsutra Designs to Choose From

Age-Old Classics:
