Indeed, you predicted it: a red Banarasi saree, crimson lips, a huge red bindi, a white Mukut, and classic gold jewellery. That's exactly how a Bengali bride is described. If you're a fan of the Bong Bodhu look, you may now incorporate a Bangla element into your bridal character. As you can't help but love the elegant patterns of Bengali bridal jewellery. So, what are the many types of Bengali jewellery that are worn by brides during weddings?  Let's get your Bengali marriage wrapped from head to toe!

The Crown or the Shonar Mukut

A gold crown, termed as Shonar Mukut, graces the bride's head, offering her the appearance of a princess. The tiara is a traditional piece of Bengali wedding jewellery that you may wear to give your bridal look a princely touch. The Mukut does not have to be made of actual gold; fake jewellery can also be used.

Tikli and Tiara

A Tikli, also known as a Maang Tikka, is a popular piece of Bengali wedding jewellery. A big pendant hangs from the front of the Tikli. A Tiara or Matha Patti wore in conjunction with the Tikli keeps the veil in place thus providing the face with a broader appearance and concealing the forehead. A tiara might have two or three layers, or it can have just one large layer.

The Nath of Nolok

A Nolok or a Nath, along with several other Indian wedding jewellery items, is an important aspect of Bengali wedding jewellery. Even though it is not a required item of bridal jewellery, many women choose it owing to its classic beauty. A Nolok is a huge nose ornament with a string that extends up to the ear. Because a Nolok is a one-time-wear item of accessories, you can use faux jewellery.

For your ears: Kaan Bala, Kaan Pasha, and Jhumko

The ear embellishments are next! A Kaan Bala, or earring in the shape of an ear, is a traditional Bengali bridal jewellery piece. On either side, Kaan Pasha is a huge gold stud with elaborate motifs. Lastly, there's the Jhumko or Jhumka, which are enormous, flamboyant dangling earrings that newlyweds all over the nation like!

The Choker or the chic.

The Chick, a thick choker necklace made of gold, is an essential component of Bengali wedding jewellery. Chicks are worn a bit underneath the neck and just above the collar bone, with a diameter ranging from 1 to 1.5 inches. The delicate decorations and superb craftsmanship of a Chick are what makes it so beautiful.

The Layered Necklace (Saath Noli Haar)

When it comes to necklaces, a Saat Noli Haar is a typical piece of family heirloom jewellery. They are passed on to the following generation by grandmothers and mothers-in-law. Therefore, it's an important piece of Bengali wedding jewellery. A seven-layer necklace made of gold is referred to as a Saat Noli Haar may also be a five-layer necklace made of gold termed as a Paanch Noli Haar.
