Situated in the extreme south of India, the state of Tamil Nadu is famous for its Dravidian culture, classical art forms, ancient temples, glorious architecture, and the Tamil language which happens to be one of the oldest of all languages in the world. The influence of their ancient culture, temples, and rich traditions can be seen in Tamil weddings.
Adorned in a vibrant coloured Kanchipuram silk saree, fresh flowers on beautifully plaited hair, and traditional gold jewellery, the Tamil brides are all about elegance and richness. The Tamil wedding jewellery is known for its intricate designs and the bridal jewellery is perfectly layered which adds to the magnificence of Tamil brides.
The wedding jewellery in Tamil Nadu is prominently made up of gold with a touch of red. Temple jewellery made entirely of pure gold and the ones made up of gold and precious stones are still the most preferred choice at traditional Tamil weddings. A huge gold pendant with the carved images of a God/Goddess is a typical gold jewellery design when it comes to temple jewellery.
Although gold is still the most preferred choice when it comes to Tamil wedding jewellery the influence of other states can now be seen at Tamil weddings. This is the reason behind the growing affinity towards diamond jewellery and Kundan jewellery over the traditional pieces of Tamil jewellery.
