My uncle’s daughter is getting married in February, and we’re planning to gift her something really special—either a mangalsutra or a diamond necklace. Since it’s a wedding, the jewellery needs to be vibrant but not too heavy. We want it to stand out, but still have a certain elegance and subtlety to it. After all, the piece should complement the bride, and I feel like it should be something she can wear on multiple occasions, not just the wedding.
I’ve narrowed it down to two popular brands in India: Tanishq and Kalyan Jewellers. Both are well-known for their stunning collections, especially for weddings. However, I’m still not sure which one would be the best choice for this occasion.
Tanishq: They are famous for their wedding collections and high-quality craftsmanship. What I’ve noticed is that Tanishq has a lot of delicate diamond necklaces that are beautifully designed but not overly flashy. They also have a strong reputation when it comes to trust and quality. The pricing, though, tends to be on the higher side, but I’m okay with that if it’s truly worth the cost. I’ve also seen a few lightweight mangalsutras in their collections, but I’m unsure if they offer enough vibrance for a wedding gift.
Kalyan Jewellers: On the other hand, Kalyan Jewellers has an extensive range of traditional designs. Their collections seem to cater more to those looking for something intricate and vibrant, which is perfect for weddings. However, I’m not sure how their designs compare in terms of elegance and subtlety. Are their diamond necklaces too traditional or heavy for something that could be worn beyond the wedding day? They also have some beautiful mangalsutras, but again, I’m not sure if they match up to Tanishq in terms of variety or modern touch.
Has anyone here bought wedding jewellery from either of these brands? I’m especially interested in knowing:
- Which brand has better variety when it comes to mangalsutras and diamond necklaces?
- Do you feel one brand’s jewellery stands out more in terms of vibrance but is still practical for regular wear?
- How’s the pricing and overall value for money when compared?
We want to make sure the gift is special and memorable, so any advice or experiences would really help!

I actually bought a mangalsutra from Kalyan Jewellers for my cousin sister’s wedding last year, and the experience was pretty good. They have a fantastic variety of traditional designs, and they definitely shine when it comes to vibrancy. The mangalsutra I picked had a beautiful blend of gold and diamonds, and it was intricate but still subtle enough to wear on other occasions, like family gatherings. One thing I would say though is that their designs can lean more towards the traditional side, and if you are looking for something modern and minimalistic, you might find some pieces to be a bit heavy. But if your bride is into that sort of thing, Kalyan is a safe bet for a wedding gift that really stands out.
Thanks so much for sharing your experience with Kalyan Jewellers! It sounds like they did a great job for your cousin’s wedding, especially when it comes to vibrant, traditional designs. I amdefinitely leaning toward something modern and subtle, but it is good to know Kalyan has those beautiful traditional pieces for those who prefer that.
I am curious though have you had any experience with Tanishq when it comes to mangalsutras? From what I have seen, their designs are a bit more delicate and modern, but I would love to hear if they have anything that could still match the vibrancy and uniqueness I am looking for. Would Tanishq be a good option for a more subtle yet special wedding gift? Would appreciate any thoughts you might have on their collection!
