Art Karat is an online jewelry store that sells Indian bridal jewelry and party wear jewelry.
They’re also known for beautiful, opulent pieces of costume jewelry in high quality metals. Their bridal collection of 2013 was just that: opulent, beautiful, and regal.
The Begum collection pays hommage to the Mughal styles of northern India. Kundan, meenakari, and bead work are the styles.
Check out the kundan headpiece with a veil! Definitely wedding wear fit for a maharani.
Art Karat’s bridal collection takes us around India to Maharastra, West Bengal, and the South for traditional, ethnic bridal looks.
This payal and toe jewelry set is heavy and won’t fit most brides. But if you have big feet (seriously), you’ll look like a goddess with them.
Oh my favorite photo of all: the groom applying sindoor to the bride. I love how her mang tikka is simple while the necklace set is several strands heavy. And love the delicate haath phool and bajuband (armband).
Royal blue and gold enamel work with kundan teardrops. Love, love, love!
And last but not least, men can wear jewelry too.
Brides, I wouldn’t even be sure where to start because they are all so lovely! For more information and pricing, check out their website.
