Silver Jadau: the smartest second-look jewellery for a wedding

A wedding is five or six functions. Very few families want to buy gold for all of them, and nobody wants to repeat the bridal set at the mehndi.

Silver Jadau solves this. The same karigars, the same setting technique, the same peacock and elephant motifs — executed in 92.5% sterling or a 74% traditional alloy, with lab grown or imitation stones.

Photographically it is not a compromise: oxidised silver reads beautifully against yellows and greens, which is exactly what haldi and mehndi outfits are built from.

Budget-wise it is a different universe. A statement silver choker that photographs like a bridal piece typically lands at a small fraction of the equivalent gold set.

Our recommendation for most brides: one gold Jadau bridal set for the pheras and reception, and two to three silver Jadau looks for the other functions. Order them together so the motifs stay in one family.
