Must Have Jewelry for Every Tamil Bride
Last Updated on January 12, 2021 by Team Styl.
A Tamil wedding is a very royal, rich, and elegant affair. Everything that the bride wears is in the utmost harmony and very close to their traditional values. Something that I admire the most about Tamilian brides is their jewelry. The way they layer their jewelry is admirable. The intricacy of the work is incomparable. They are mostly inclined towards gold and red as it represents purity yet their entire ensemble displays nothing but sheer elegance. For all of those who are as intrigued as I am by their traditional jewelry, here are all the tidbits you need to get inspired by them!
Have a Look to Must Have Jewelry For Every Tamil Bride

These are the ornaments for the head which are in the shape of a sun and moon and are engraved with stones like rubies and diamonds. These are basically worn to decorate the partition of the hair and the bride’s forehead.

Nethichutti
A nethichutti is a traditional Tamilian matha patti. It completes the bridal look. For a Tamilian bride, the nethichutti sit like a tiara on her head, giving her the look and feel of a princess.
Kasu Malai
This gorgeous ornament is made entirely of gold coins or is even be in the shape of mango. This looks so pretty on the bride who usually wears it with a lotus or peacock pendant which adds extra poise to it.

Vangi
This inverted ‘V’ shaped ornament forms a cobra-head symbolizing the serpent Lord Vishnu rests on. The glittery vangi sits like royalty on the bride’s arm and they believe to invoke romance in the bride when she ties the knot with the groom.

Jadanagam
This ruby and diamond masterpiece for the hair basically translates into ‘hair-serpent’. It highlights the bride’s luscious braid. Its design takes inspiration from the sun, the moon, and floral patterns as well. Just like the vangi, the jadanagam also ends in the shape of a serpent.
