Gone are the days when the groom’s wedding look stopped at a sherwani and mojaris. Today’s groom understands that jewellery is what transforms an outfit from well-dressed to unforgettable. Whether it’s a brooch, layered pearls, or a majestic safa, the groom’s jewellery brings personality, heritage, and intention to the wedding look. The right details can sharpen a minimal look or amplify a regal one—either way, they bridge the gap between simple clothing and a statement.
The New Groom Aesthetic: From Minimal to Majestic
Modern grooms are experimenting like never before. Some lean into clean, understated accents—think one brooch and a sleek watch. Others go royal-core with layered necklaces, ornate turbans, and handcrafted jewellery. The key is balance: your jewellery should complement your outfit, not compete with it. Choose pieces that echo the embroidery, colour palette, and mood of your attire—romantic, traditional, or boldly contemporary.
Celebrity Influences: Vijay Deverakonda’s Wedding Jewellery
When it comes to redefining groom styling, Vijay Deverakonda’s wedding look made waves for its unapologetic embrace of heritage jewellery. He drew inspiration from temple jewellery, traditionally seen on South Indian brides.
His gold adornments by Shree Jewellers featured layered haars, bold cuffs, bajuband, earrings, anklets, and a wide oddiyanam belt that sculpted the dhoti silhouette. Each piece carried symbolic craftsmanship.
He completed the look with two commanding necklaces: a kasu mala and a long haram, proving that men’s jewellery doesn’t have to be subtle to be sophisticated. The entire attire felt like a modern tribute to how Indian men once presented themselves—with grandeur, confidence, and cultural pride.
Heritage Revival: Why Regal Jewellery Is Trending Again
Across weddings today, grooms are rediscovering traditional Indian jewellery—from layered pearl malas to waist belts and brooches inspired by royal courts. This revival is driven by a desire to reconnect with cultural roots. Groom's accessories rooted in heritage bring a timeless richness to weddings and carry emotional weight as heirloom-worthy pieces.
Design Highlights: Statement Pieces for the Modern Groom
The Layered Necklace
Layered necklaces for grooms are having a major moment—and for good reason. They add refinement without feeling flashy and sit beautifully over both sherwanis and achkans.
Layered strands work well for royal-inspired looks, while a single line feels understated. This is the perfect accessory if you prefer a traditional look with a modern edge.
The Bold Brooch
A bold brooch instantly elevates a sherwani or bandhgala, without overpowering the outfit.
Antique-finish designs with crests or emblems channel old-world nobility and pair beautifully with neutral or monochrome outfits.
The Elegant Safa & Kalangi
An embroidered safa or pagdi, along with a kalangi or sarpech, brings elegance and stature to the groom’s look. The softness of the design balances heavily embroidered outfits especially well.
Choose a structured turban style if your outfit is simple, or a more captivating one for a regal aesthetic.
Groom’s Jewellery Styling Tips: How to Get the Right Look
- Pick a hero piece: Let one accessory—like a brooch or necklace—take centre stage, and keep the rest complementary.
- Match metals to embroidery: Gold jewellery pairs best with warm-toned outfits, while pearls soften richly embellished fabrics.
- Balance the silhouette: Heavy necklaces work best with clean necklines; detailed turbans suit simpler sherwanis.
- Think of photos: Jewellery should enhance your look from all angles, especially close-up wedding portraits.
- Stay comfortable: You’ll wear these for hours—choose secure pieces that won’t distract you on the big day.
Groom’s jewellery is no longer an afterthought—they’re a powerful expression of personality, heritage, and style. Whether you’re inspired by regal temple jewellery or minimalist modern accents, the right details will elevate your wedding look into something truly memorable. Choose pieces that feel authentic to you and let your jewellery tell a story that lives on long after the wedding day.
