One of the most important ornaments for a Hindu bride is a mangalsutra. Made from the Hindi words ‘mangal’ and ‘sutra’ meaning an auspicious thread, this ornament is symbolic of the bride and groom’s marital status. Apart from holding a very significant part in a bride’s life, a mangalsutra has become a statement piece of jewellery for millennial brides. And even though a traditional mangalsutra design has black beads, designers these days have really experimented with the designs and made something unique and personal for every bride.
From a diamond or gold necklace to a bracelet and ring a mangalsutra has become very versatile, so if you’re looking for some latest mangalsutra design inspiration we’ve got you covered! Scroll through.
